success audit

About this tag
The success audit tag covers discussions about enabling and configuring Windows audit policies to track successful operations, such as file system access. In the context of Windows Server and Windows 10/11, users often enable success auditing via Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) under Advanced Audit Policy Configuration, specifically for Object Access and Audit File System. After applying changes with gpupdate /force, they monitor Event Viewer for event IDs like 4663. Common issues include missing expected events, such as deletion logs, which may require additional configuration or understanding of which actions generate success audits. This tag is relevant for IT administrators and power users troubleshooting audit policy behavior.
