Access logs in Excel format

Obtain an Excel-readable, comma-delimited security logon/logoff/lockout log file (.csv) of a server in your domain. Using the Resource Kit's dumpel.exe utility, you can create a file called stats.csv, then optionally convert the three digit access codes using FR.EXE (i.e. File Search/Replace Version 1.4 by Tony Provalov, built Dec. 16, 1999) to decipher the three digits to text of logon/logoff/badpasswords.

From command line, type:

{pdcservername}c$winntsystem32dumpel -f stats.csv 
     -s {servername} -l security -d 1 -format uIdt -c
