Windows 2000 domain mixed mode with multiple DCs...
I need to be able to track when a user logs into the domain. Namely for the
purpose of combating "well, I got to work at 8:00", "yeah, but it shows you
didn't log in to the domain until 9, why?"
I'm assuming I do this with Group Policies. I managed to track when a user
logs onto the console of a DC by setting up auditing of Active Directory
Access in the Default Domain Controller policy, but I don't want to monitor
when they log onto the console of a DC, but rather log into the domain
itself from any computer.
