Greetings,

I am an admin of a LAN with Windows 2000 server sp3 as the domain
controller and windows 2000 professional sp3 as workstations (joined a
domain). The current security log on the domain controller records
users' logging activities together with all connection efforts from
all workstations every few minutes. The security log takes too much
valuable server space.

Is there a way to log users' logon/logoff time only without too much
connection details from time to time?

Alternatively can I log user activities to workstations instead of the
domain controller? I tried enabling auditing policies for workstations
and for domain users in "Active Directory Users and Computers", but no
activities were logged on the workstations. How should I set up?

Thanks. Have a nice day!
