Does anyone out there know how to generate summary reports on Windows NT, 2000, or XP "System Events"?

I'm most interested in a report that will tell me how many time this person has dial into the RAS server, the average time did he/she stays connected, the min and max, and break all this information down by days, months, etc...

Do you know of a software package that will do this? Or can Windows do this itself and I just don't know how to use it?

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

i think of two ways:
1) in the event viewer, right-click system log and select the filter tab. choose proper event types and select "RemoteAccess" in the event source. you can also export the filtered log file.
2) in the routing and remote access logging, right click on the local file, click properties.
check the log accounting requests, and log authentication request. you can also log periodic status. you can customize the time period when to log these events. you can use the generated logfile to create a program that reads it and summarizes the result.

In NT resource kit exists . This tool can export the events to text file with separators. Also this tool can filter the events exported. With access or excel you can import (link) this file and built your own advanced tool using filtersor some queries. Also using the task scheduler you can automate these exports.
