Audit Other Account Logon Events

Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2

This security policy setting allows you to audit events generated by responses to credential requests submitted for a user account logon that are not credential validation or Kerberos tickets. Examples can include the following:

  • Remote Desktop session disconnections

  • New Remote Desktop sessions

  • Locking and unlocking a workstation

  • Invoking a screen saver

  • Dismissing a screen saver

  • Detection of a Kerberos replay attack, in which a Kerberos request with identical information was received twice

Note

This condition could be caused by a network misconfiguration.

  • Access to a wireless network granted to a user or computer account

  • Access to a wired 802.1x network granted to a user or computer account

Event volume: Varies, depending on system use

Default: Not configured

If this policy setting is configured, the following events are generated. The events appear on computers running Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, or Windows Vista.
