They are not enabled by default. The one you want to enable is account logon
events in Domain Controller Security Policy. You will have to examine the
security logs on all the domain controllers as the event will be recorded in
the log of the domain controller that authenticated a user. The free Event
Comb from Microsoft can make it easy to search the security logs of multiple
domain controllers. --- Steve
