Audit Other Account Management Events

Event volume: Typically Low on all types of computers.

This subcategory allows you to audit next events:

Password Policy Checking API allows an application to check password compliance against an application-provided account database or single account and verify that passwords meet the complexity, aging, minimum length, and history reuse requirements of a password policy.
