I do not use Home edition. I do know that the local security
policy interface is not just excluded but also prevented from
starting if you were to copy it into Home from Pro.
Now, do the searches on "audit" or such, as I seem to recall
an interface doc'd that allowed Home edition to have its
auditing policy set/adjusted.
