Hi there, this may seem to be a weird question, but I'll ask it anyways. I
have an internal website that leverages NTLM authentication (CMServer site
enabled) Every user is forced to go to this page each morning when they
logon. My issue though is that I would like to turn off the event logging
that is done in the security logs for each user accessing this webserver. I
don't need to see that users are succesully logging in at all (the security
event log is rather cumbersome to extract anythig useful out of it) Since
IIS is logging as well, I think that this is kind of redudant. However I
can't seem to find a policy (either domain or local) that is dictating that
this shuld be logged. I have also not found any audit polices on the server
itself for the directories that users are accessing for web content. Any
ideas? To me, writing an 3 events every second has to be taking a hit on the
server at some point. Let me know what your thoughts are though. Thx.
