Unable to Stop Success Logon Audits on Backup Domain Controller (133151)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
This article was previously published under Q133151

SYMPTOMS

If the Audit policy for a domain is set to log failed logons only, the backup domain controllers in the domain incorrectly logs the successful and failed logons that it validates. The primary domain controller logs only failed logon attempts as expected.

WORKAROUND

  1. On the backup domain controller (BDC) go into User Manager.
  2. From the Policies menu choose auditing and check the box Auditing For Successful Logons.
  3. Then uncheck the box Auditing For Successful Logons.
This then fixes the problem.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
