Re: Event viewer- security log



If you configure an audit policy to audit successful logon and logoff
events, you will get 538 events.

Event ID: 538
Source: Security
This event record indicates that a user has logged off.

There is no group policies set for the PC or the server other than the
default entries. I still can't figure out why one PC on the network is
recording everybody logins/logoffs. I am getting the following event ids:
538, 540, 576. It started about a week and half ago.

I have one user her security log all of a sudden the last 2 weeks has
become full. I looked at it and it look like it is recording everybody
logon/logoff on the network. Also it show one particular user who
logon/logoff is recorded every few minutes.

So I did the usual, I checked the Local Security settings on each of the
two computers. They look fine. I ran virus scanning and spyware scanning
software and I did not find anything.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks Randy
