Hey-thanks for that Giovanni-I never knew that existed-funnily enough there
was this quote on the same page:
"Many of Microsoft's best and most powerful utilities go almost unnoticed,
and the Log Parser is certainly one of the best (and most overlooked)."

Good Afternoon,

A long time fan of this list. First question.

I have a windows 2003 sp1 printer server. I want to audit printing events,
get a persons logon id, amount of pages printed etc.

The events are currently being audited in the system portion of the event
log. Which is fine and dandy, but my manager wants a pretty report not event
logs. I tried to google the solution, but there are tons of print monitoring
software out there, that is not what I need.


Does anyone know of any software or script where I decrypt the print log
into a nice excel spreadsheet where I can manipulate the data and hand it
off to my manager. I just need software to "decrypt" the logs. I
do not want to install some 3rd party monitoring software, which most of
them include their own services, etc. (especially if it is already being
logged by window)



Much thanks guys in advance,
Adam

ps- sorry if this is the wrong place to post. But auditing is security. :)
