Dear,
I want to see all DML operations performed by a specific computer to track the user activities over database. What can I do for that?

If you have better suggestions, please suggest me.

Please help me to do this.

Thanks
Akbar

If you have Enterprise (or Developer) edition you could implement Database-Level Action Audit, which includes DML actions. I haven't personally implemented this level of auditing, but I can't see why it wont serve your purpose.

you could also consider a server side trace, with a filter on the HOSTNAME property to match the machine you want to watch
the problem with that is it's possible to change the hostname parameter if the user has access to the connection string(see screenshot below) ;

i posted a sample DML trace in this post that you could consider modifying: that trace is watching a specific login, and not machine.
