When I logon to a domain computer (RDP) in the event viewer the logon type is 10, but for the same logon, in the Domain Controller the logon type is 3.
Why all the logon types in DC are 3?!

    I wouldn't read too much into this.
    3 = Network The security principal is logging using a network.
    10 = RemoteInteractive A terminal server session that is both remote and interactive.

    Hi there,

    I suppose this is not a Mismatch as 10 indicates RemoteInteractive.A user logged on to this computer remotely using Terminal Services or Remote Desktop.

    The Logon Type for Logon Number 3 is Network: Used to access a Windows resource (e.g., shared folder) from a system on the network.

    One example is when a computer has a mapped drive to another computer share.
