Sorry for the delayed response guys. Thanks for the info. I will look at logmein free to see if that will suffice. They don't want to give them timecards but they have some managers that are taking advantage of remote locations. It's a mess. They are giving the managers rope and the managers are stepping into the noose and asking them to pull the chair away? It's crazy. Thanks

While a couple of the responses sort of imply it, I'll make it explicit: AFAIK, if you want to drill down like that, you'll need to gather the security events from the individual workstations, as well as the DCs.
