The policy engine didn't attampt to configure the settings

Question

Why this error comes up

Answer 1

Hello NoyonChandraDas-4493,

Thank you for posting in our Q&A forum.

The error may occur in the following situation:

I assume this machine is in an OU container on a domain controller, and for the OU that the machine is in, you may have linked multiple GPOs (or multiple GPOs are inherited to the OU) to this OU, but for ONE gpo setting, maybe the same gpo setting value is configured in different GPOs OR maybe different gpo setting values are configured in different GPOs .

And you can check by right clicking one setting and open its Properties and check Precedence tag.

For example:

Here is a similar thread for your reference.

Hope the information above is helpful.

Best Regards,

Answer 4

This may be too late, but it happens because you have enabled the "Force audit policy subcategory settings (Windows Vista or later) to override audit policy category settings" option in Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\LocalPolicies\Security Options

This setting causes the behavior you describe in the audit policy settings.
