Fascinating thread! Yes, it is from a long time ago, but still a great
read.

I have a related issue I'm trying to solve, which landed me here.

I have a Server 2003 member server (in an NT domain), for file and
printer sharing. I have auditing enabled for "logon events", I really
wish to capture logons _for users_. Which works fine, but I also get a
much greater load of event 540, NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON events.
There is no user name, it's a "computer" logon, listing the computer
name, ip address, etc. I want to eliminate those, and keep the user
logons.

I've played a bit with the auditing settings, and it seems I get either
all or nothing.

I've also changed settings in local group policy, but again have not
achieved the desired effect.
For example, "Network Access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM
accounts and shares" is enabled. "Network Access: Do not allow anonymous
enumeration of SAM account" is enabled.
Yet, I'm not exactly sure why the "anonymous" success logon events are
occurring (they do not change to failure events).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe it's simply not possible
to achieve the settings I want, but I haven't given up yet.
