If your asking "is there value" in installing the UF on workstations the answer is almost certainly "yes"
But you should consider a few things first:
- Monitoring your DCs will show you failed/successful domain logins, but they may not include all the security relevant events, such as all attempts using local credentials or local file/device access.
- With the UF on your workstations you can also start to monitor application logs, or with SplunkStream even wireline traffic for remote diagnostics etc.
- But - you can easily start collecting huge amounts of data, so be sure your indexer disk (or your index management) has been spec'd to cope - and most importantly consider the size of your licence!
If my comment helps, please give it a thumbs up!
