- 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.

This is the object whose audit policy was changed.
- Object Server: always "Security"
- Object Type: "File" for file or folder but can be other types of objects such as Key, SAM, SERVICE OBJECT, etc.
- Object Name: The name of the object being accessed
- Handle ID: is a semi-unique (unique between reboots) number that identifies all subsequent audited events while the object is open. Handle ID allows you to correlate to other events logged (Open 4656, Access 4663, Close 4658)
Process Information:
- Process ID: The process ID specified when the executable started as logged in 4688.
- Process Name: Identifies the program executable that accessed the object.
