The
Audit system events
setting determines whether to audit when a user restarts or shuts down a
computer or when an event occurs that affects either the system security or the security log.
Configuring this setting to
Success
generates an audit entry when a system event is executed
successfully. Configuring this setting to
Failure
generates an audit entry when a system event is
attempted unsuccessfully. The table below includes some of the most useful successful events for this
category.

User Rights Assignments
User Rights Assignments determine which users or groups have logon rights or privileges on the
computers on the network. Logon rights and privileges govern the rights that users have on the target
system. They are used to grant the right to perform certain actions, such as logging on from the
network or locally, as well as administrative tasks, such as generating new logon tokens. User rights
assignment settings can be configured in Windows Server 2003 in the following location within the
Group Policy Object Editor:
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment
The default User Rights Assignments are different between the various types of servers in the network.
For example, Windows Server 2003 contains the following differences in User Rights Assignments
with built-in groups between member servers and domain controllers. Similar built-in groups between
member servers and domain controllers are not documented in the list that follows.
