Users Log on history in a domain
Hi Experts,
I want to know if there is a simple way to identify any user's login activities for past one week or so? I tried my best to search something like this but could not find any.
Our domain is on Windows 2003.

so first thing that I need to enable auditing, right?
You can use auditing from this point forward, yes. If you need to capture data in the past though, auditing won't do any good if it's not already on and you'll need to reference the security logs.

Since auditing was not enable at this point of time, I have enabled that.
What should be the next steps?

You're not being too clear here, what are you trying to do?
If you need to find out who logged in when in the past week, then you enabling auditing will do nothing for achieving that task. You need to parse through the security logs to find the information (assuming your logs go back that far)
If you don't need past data and you just want the "from here on out" data, now you sit and wait, then review the audit information.

Piattnd, sorry for my unclearity. I dont want to get into past data. I want "from here on out" data.
Our Domain has five sites and each have one ADC in place. What I understood that when a user logs in to domain from a site, that info will be available to system log file of that site ADC. Am I correct here?
One more thing : now how to I turn on global DC Auditing ?
