I can't tell from that because each entry with "Special" means you have to drill down to see which permissions are enabled. If you drill down and look at which permissions are enabled on the Object and Properties tabs you should be able to figure it out.

Randy,

I think I may have provided the wrong setting in my previous post - I pulled that setting from the Permissions tab, not the Auditing tab. Here is what I have set under the Auditing tab:

Type Name Access Apply To
Success Everyone Special
Success Everyone Special
Success Domain Users All extended rights This object only
All Domain users Special This object and all des...
Success Administrators All extended rights This object only
Success Everyone Special This object and all des...

Of these, which entry ties to Event ID 565?

Thanks,
Jeff

Randy,

Is the following Auditing setting the one that generates the excessive 565 event IDs:

Type - Allow Name - Everyone Permission - Read All Properties

Thanks,
Jeff

The combo edition has the SLS Interactive Edition which has a chapter/session devoted to AD audit policy.

Randy,

Would the Windows 2008 Security Log Resource Kit provide me with all of the information I'd need to tighten auditing on my Windows DCs?

Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks Randy - I will refine the object level audit policy in Active Directory. I have attended your webinars and they are fantastic. I am looking forward to the next webinar on reducing noise.

Thanks,
Jeff

You need to refine your object level audit policy in Active Directory. That means going to the root of the domain in Active Directory Users and Computers, Security tab, Advanced, Audit. At that place configure your audit policy to audit the object types and permissions you desire and then use it to replace the audit policy on all sub-objects.

Normally the only thing I recommend auditing is changes to groupPolicyContainer objects and group policy and ACL related changes to OUs. My Security Log Resource Kit provides details on this as well as my free webinars at this site.

Need for logging Event ID 565?

I am currently using GFI EventsManager as our SIM and I was wondering what the need is to log Event ID 565 - should I log only failures, or is there a need to log success as well? The reason I ask is that this Event ID is the overwhelming leader in number of events logged (within four days already over 1.6 million events logged)

Thanks,
Jeff
