4787: A non-member was added to a basic application group

On this page

Apparently this event is supposed to be logged when you add an exclusion to a basic application group but instead Windows logs 4785 with no indication that the member is an excluded member.

I haven't been able to produce this event. Have you? If so, please start a discussion (see above) and post a sample along with any comments you may have! Don't forget to sanitize any private information.
