Need help in generating large no of security event logs for testing

Question

Hi,

I'm automating few scenarios related to security event logs using python(script executes in linux). First I tried the SSH way of logging into the MS-Server. However the events are generated in the Application> OpenSSH section. I want to generate the below mentioned events through CLI, where the events are generated under the security section(Windows logs > Security). Can anyone guide me on how to generate these events(prefereably through the powershell).

Kerberos Authentication Event (event id 4768)

Kerberos Service Ticket Request (event id 4769)

Account Login Request (event 4624)

Account Logoff Request (event 4634)

Thanks

Hi,

You can use the New-WinEvent cmdlet to create new Windows events for a specified event provider from PowerShell.
