hi
you can use eventcombmt.exe from the windows resource kit to search your domain controllers for specific security event logs.
i think event id 673 will give you success and failure audit logs. event comb can save the report in csv for you to easily read and format it.

Finding Admin Logins in Security Event Log
07-Apr-10

Hello,

I am need to be able to search, alert, and report on data from the
Windows Security Event Log. I need to be able to determine if any
login attempts (success|failure) are for users who have elevated
priveleges (administrator). This could be the administrator account
or any account that has admin priveleges. Is there somewhere in the
security event log that gives me an idea the level of priveleges the
user logging in has?

Thanks.

Kevin

I have a log aggregator to compile and search the event logs. What I
was hoping for is a specific field in my logon events that illustrates
the privleges. I don't want to send pages out if John Smith connects
to the server, but if Fred Flintstone does, he has administrator
privileges and I need to page out to specific individuals.

Thanks for your help.
