Security Audit via VB?

[QuarkIT]

I'm looking to pull a weekly amount of security log information out of a computers event viewer.

We have about 20 odd PCs that are classified machines. I am required to do an audit on them weekly to check their security log for any anomolies, odd logins etc. Currently I have to go PC to PC, but I would like to run a script that will just extract the log files into a text file and dump it somewhere on the server.

Thanks everyone in advance.

Are these boxes part of AD?

Yes, they run on a typical windows network (Server 2003 AD etc) with WinXP Pro on each box.
