Henry
Thanks very much
Both solutions worked perfectly.
Now to pick your brains. The security log is full of Success Audit events
540, 576 and 538 plus one or two others. These are routine logonlogoff
events but appear several times a second. Is this really necessary as it
seems to me that logging so frequently means important stuff will be missed.
I've been meaning to ask this for months.
