Does Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition automatically track a user's log on/off history? If it doesn't, can it?
Finally (if it's there of course) how do I access the log?

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps something here may help:

or a link from the above:

Windows Event Viewer has a Security section that keeps an audit trail of when users log on and log off. I can't remember if it's switched on by default but you can find Event Viewer under Start > Programs > Administrative Tools

I keep an eye on this every day to check login details (and attempted hacking attempts, which would be indicated by lots of failed logins).

Obviously "unattempted hacking attempts" don't show up at all, lol!

Thanks for the help! Once I was able to spend some quality time with the server I found the Event Viewer on my own... I really should really RTFM some day.

Speaking of hacking attempts, do I need to worry about Anonymous Logins? I the viewer they’ll be a group of 4, but the first one of the group will have a registered user’s name in the ANONYMOUS LOGIN properties.
