ok that sounds interesting, and I'll take a good look at it.

But if I understand it correctly, that would give me an overview of 
windows domain workstation logons, and it would not include any failed 
ldap authentication events to our AD, and such, right?

Asking because I can trigger the same errors though an web ldap logon, 
so therefore I think it could be caused by *any* of our ldap enabled 
services. (these all talk to the same three dc's)
