Thx for the quick response. Do i need to reboot the server after this is enabled? Is this a 1 2 3 process?

You can configure the system to log the successful or/and unsuccessful logins so you can view it into the event viewer or export it to another system, for example via syslog with a tool like snare or similar, to further review or to be processed in real time.

Try this:

Run -> mmc.exe
File -> Add or remove snap-in
Add
Group Policy Object Editor
Add
Check local system
Finish
Close
Accept

Then browse to:
Local Policy -> Machine configuration -> Windows configuration -> Security configuration -> Local policies -> Audit Policy

Then configure the audit for the items you need, for example the login.
