Want AD Tools - User login auditing, file change activity, etc.

Relatively new AD environment for us and I am now looking for some good management and/or auditing tools. It does not have to be free, commerical products are fine, and we are willing to spend a few thousand bucks to get something that is really good. Looking for some recommendations from a few people.

Some initial thoughts:

- Would like a way to determine if an AD account is presently logged in.
- What time did that user login
- Better yet, would like to see login/logout activity for the past x days

- File auditing, who changed what, when, who deleted a file, etc.

We just bought Diskeeper's Undelete product so I'm looking for anything else that's cool :)

Thanks!

You can use the built in auditing tools that come with windows you just need to turn auditing on

How far do the built-in utilities take it? Just enabling auditing and then pouring through event logs? I'm looking for something that has a cleaner reporting-type interface. thanks for the comment.
