Volume: Low.�Detailed File Share

This policy setting allows you to audit attempts to access files and folders on a shared folder. The Detailed File Share setting logs an event every time a file or folder is accessed, whereas the File Share setting only records one event for any connection established between a client and file share. Detailed File Share audit events include detailed information about the permissions or other criteria used to grant or deny access.

If you configure this policy setting, an audit event is generated when an attempt is made to access a file or folder on a share. The administrator can specify whether to audit only successes, only failures, or both successes and failures.

Note: There are no system access control lists (SACLs) for shared folders. If this policy setting is enabled, access to all shared files and folders on the system is audited.

Volume: High on a file server or domain controller because of SYSVOL network access required by Group Policy.`Removable storage

This policy setting allows you to audit user attempts to access file system objects on a removable storage device. A security audit event is generated only for all objects for all types of access requested.

If you configure this policy setting, an audit event is generated each time an account accesses a file system object on a removable storage. Success audits record successful attempts and Failure audits record unsuccessful attempts.

If you do not configure this policy setting, no audit event is generated when an account accesses a file system object on a removable storage.�Central Access Policy Staging

This policy setting allows you to audit access requests where the permission granted or denied by a proposed policy differs from the current central access policy on an object.

If you configure this policy setting, an audit event is generated each time a user accesses an object and the permission granted by the current central access policy on the object differs from that granted by the proposed policy. The resulting audit event will be generated as follows:

1) Success audits, when configured, records access attempts when the current central access policy grants access but the proposed policy denies access.

2) Failure audits when configured records access attempts when:

a) The current central access policy does not grant access but the proposed policy grants access.

b) A principal requests the maximum access rights they are allowed and the access rights granted by the current central access policy are different than the access rights granted by the proposed policy.

Volume: Potentially high on a file server when the proposed policy differs significantly from the current central access policy.

Default: No AuditingPA�Directory Service Access

This policy setting allows you to audit events generated when an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) object is accessed.

Only AD DS objects with a matching system access control list (SACL) are logged.

Events in this subcategory are similar to the Directory Service Access events available in previous versions of Windows.

Volume: High on domain controllers. None on client computers.

Default on Client editions: No Auditing.

Default on Server editions: Success.>Active Directory Domain Services Object Changes

This policy setting allows you to audit events generated by changes to objects in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). Events are logged when an object is created, deleted, modified, moved, or undeleted.

When possible, events logged in this subcategory indicate the old and new values of the object s properties.

Events in this subcategory are logged only on domain controllers, and only objects in AD DS with a matching system access control list (SACL) are logged.

Note: Actions on some objects and properties do not cause audit events to be generated due to settings on the object class in the schema.

If you configure this policy setting, an audit event is generated when an attempt to change an object in AD DS is made. Success audits record successful attempts, however unsuccessful attempts are NOT recorded.

If you do not configure this policy setting, no audit event is generated when an attempt to change an object in AD DS object is made.

Volume: High on domain controllers only.

Default: No AuditinghDirectory Service Replication

This policy setting allows you to audit replication between two Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain controllers.

If you configure this policy setting, an audit event is generated during AD DS replication. Success audits record successful replication and Failure audits record unsuccessful replication.

If you do not configure this policy setting, no audit event is generated during AD DS replication.

Note: Events in this subcategory are logged only on domain controllers.

Volume: Medium on domain controllers. None on client computers.

Default: No Auditing.�Detailed Directory Service Replication

This policy setting allows you to audit events generated by detailed Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) replication between domain controllers.

Volume: High.

Default: No Auditing.�Credential Validation

This policy setting allows you to audit events generated by validation tests on user account logon credentials.

Events in this subcategory occur only on the computer that is authoritative for those credentials. For domain accounts, the domain controller is authoritative. For local accounts, the local computer is authoritative.

Volume: High on domain controllers.

Default on Client editions: No Auditing.

Default on Server editions: Success.�Kerberos Service Ticket Operations

This policy setting allows you to audit events generated by Kerberos authentication ticket-granting ticket (TGT) requests submitted for user accounts.

If you configure this policy setting, an audit event is generated after a Kerberos authentication TGT is requested for a user account. Success audits record successful requests and Failure audits record unsuccessful requests.

If you do not configure this policy setting, no audit event is generated after a Kerberos authentication TGT is request for a user account.

Volume: Low.

Default on Client editions: No Auditing.

Default on Server editions: Success.%Other Account Logon Events

This 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.

Currently, there are no events in this subcategory.

Default: No Auditing.qKerberos Authentication Service

This policy setting allows you to audit events generated by Kerberos authentication ticket-granting ticket (TGT) requests.

If you configure this policy setting, an audit event is generated after a Kerberos authentication TGT request. Success audits record successful requests and Failure audits record unsuccessful requests.

If you do not configure this policy setting, no audit event is generated after a Kerberos authentication TGT request.

Volume: High on Kerberos Key Distribution Center servers.

Default on Client editions: No Auditing

Default on Server editions: Success.PA�4VS_VERSION_INFO��
