Events not appearing on domain's security log

I'm trying to track down user activity with the windows group policy.  The problem is that the domain's security log is empty and the activities are being recorded to each computer's local secuirty log.  Is there a way to have all user activities recorded to one security log versus on each computer?  Thanks.

Hi doomedtech,

can you imagine the size of the logs you would create! you can copy the actualy log files from each machine, but event are stored locally unless you enable security auditing with GPO and then your security logs are stored on your server

I just want to log user logon times, so hopefully it won't get out of hand.  Could you lead me in the direction to enable the security logs on the server?
*clarification* enable to store each user logon information on the server's security logs.
