Authentication Policy Change

This category tracks any configuration changes that would impact how user accounts are authenticated although password and lockout policies are conspicuously missing. To configure this on Server 2008 and Vista you must use auditpol. Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 and later can use Group Policy.
