Audit Policy Not Replicating Correctly to BDC (126977)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.5
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
This article was previously published under Q126977 SYMPTOMS
When you make changes to the audit policy between the primary domain
controller (PDC) and backup domain controller (BDC), some changes are
not replicated to the BDC. For example, audit events set up on the PDC
are set up on the BDC, but audit events cleared on the PDC are not
cleared on the BDC.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5.
This problem was corrected in Windows NT Workstation or Server version 4.0.
MORE INFORMATION
Through auditing you can track certain user activities. The Audit policy
determines the amount and type of security logging Windows NT performs.
Windows NT can record a range of event types, from a system-wide event such
as a user logging on, to an attempt by a particular user to read a specific
file. Both successful and unsuccessful attempts to perform an action can be
recorded.
When administering domains, the Audit policy applies to the security log of
the PDC and the BDC in the domain because they share the same Audit policy.
When you administer a computer running Windows NT Workstation or Server
that is not a domain controller, this policy applies only to the security
log of that computer.
