I too thank you. I did use the correct time setting for what I was looking to do, as this is the forest/domain pDCe. Do you happen to know the KB where Microsoft has documented the way to turn on the time auditing for Windows 2008? Since I will be bringing up a 2008 pDCe sometime in the future I would like to have the auditing turned on for that machine as I do now for the current pDCe. All I can find at this time is the KB for turning it on for a 2003 machine will that work?
