I have spent about 4 hours trying to find some very straight forward information. I want to find the log in and log out times on a stand alone laptop using Windows XP Pro to check for unauthorised usage.
I cannot believe how compicated it is to find this most straight forward of information. I have enabled "Windows / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Local Security Policy / Audit Policy / Audit Account Logon Events enabled for successes & failures enabled".
It should be possible to then see log in and log out times from "Windows / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Computer Management / Event Viewer / Security" but when trying to view log in and log out times from here all I can see is a load of processes with almost identical date & times right down the page. This isn't a list of log in and log out times for the stand alone laptop!
Can you or do you know someone who can provide a fix ? I have posted a message on support.microsoft.com but have had no replies. Telephone support is charged at £199 + VAT per telephone call to a Microsoft support & Sony Tech. Support for out of warranty kit had some guy on the phone who clearly wasn't in the position (unusually) to help me so......please help, I don't want to waste any more of my life looking for this most basic of information. Thank you in advance for your time.
