I have enabled the GPO (Turn on PowerShell Transcription):

Computer Configuration-Administrative Templates-Windows Components-Windows PowerShell.

Turn on PowerShell Transcription: Enabled. Should I see any other Event ID besides 4103 in Event Viewer with this GPO?

    Hello Glenn Maxwell,

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    From the following article, I can see:

    Turn on Module Logging will log event ID 800 under Applications and Services Logs > Windows PowerShell in event viewer.

    Turn on PowerShell Script Block Logging will log event ID 4104 under

    Application and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > PowerShell > Operational event log

    Turn on PowerShell Transcription

    Enabling this policy will log both input and the resulting output of PowerShell into a text file. We need to specify a folder to store the logs to.

    For more information, please read link below.

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

    Best Regards,

    Daisy Zhou
