If this is a longer-term or ong-going project, rather than a one-shot
deal, then I'd suggest using either the Snare Client
(http://intersectalliance.com - Free/OSS) or NTSyslog (sourceforge.net
- Free/OSS) as free daemons that will forward your event logs to a
syslog server. For the syslog server, I recommend the Kiwisoft syslog
server (Free version available, but I recommend the full version for
about US$100.00). Then you can use all sorts of tools to parse the
output, and not just for printjob auditing.

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. :)
