Audit logon events
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Audit Policy
Description
Determines whether to audit each instance of a user logging on to, logging off from, or making a network connection to this computer.
If you are logging successful Audit account logon events on a domain controller, workstation logon attempts do not generate logon audits. Only interactive and network logon attempts to the domain controller itself generate logon events. In short, "account logon events" are generated where the account lives; "logon events" are generated where the logon attempt occurs.
If you define this policy setting, you can specify whether to audit successes, audit failures, or not audit the event type at all. Success audits generate an audit entry when a logon attempt succeeds. Failure audits generate an audit entry when a logon attempt fails. To set this value to no auditing, in the Properties dialog box for this policy setting, select the Define these policy settings check box and clear the Success and Failure check boxes.
Default: No auditing.
