4764: A groups type was changed
On this page
A group's type or scope was changed by Subject:.
AD has 2 types of groups: Security and Distribution. Distribution (security disabled) groups are for distribution lists in Exchange and cannot be assigned permissions or rights. Security (security enabled) groups can be used for permissions, rights and as distribution lists.
No matter what type the group was before or after the change this event is always logged as subcategory "Security Group Management".
Scope:
AD has 3 scopes of groups: Local, Global, Universal. See knowledge base article 326265.
Subject:
The ID and logon session of the user that changed the policy - always the local system - see note above.
- Security ID: The SID of the account.
- Account Name: The account logon name.
- Account Domain: The domain or - in the case of local accounts - computer name.
- Logon ID is a semi-unique (unique between reboots) number that identifies the logon session. Logon ID allows you to correlate backwards to the logon event (4624) as well as with other events logged during the same logon session.
