Currently this isn't connected up.  And even if it were, a recent study
of similar appliances showed that they were not using the old NT4
eventlog, but WMI over DCOM to access the logs, both of which we don't
support.

If you can work out which protocol your particular appliance is
connecting to AD with (you might need to try against windows and watch
with wireshark), we can at least tell you on a scale of 'hard, very
hard, extremely hard' it would be to add.
