Field Descriptions:
Subject:
- Security ID [Type = SID]: SID of account that changed the Central Access Policies on the machine. Event Viewer automatically tries to resolve SIDs and show the account name. If the SID cannot be resolved, you will see the source data in the event.
Note A security identifier (SID) is a unique value of variable length used to identify a trustee (security principal). Each account has a unique SID that is issued by an authority, such as an Active Directory domain controller, and stored in a security database. Each time a user logs on, the system retrieves the SID for that user from the database and places it in the access token for that user. The system uses the SID in the access token to identify the user in all subsequent interactions with Windows security. When a SID has been used as the unique identifier for a user or group, it cannot ever be used again to identify another user or group. For more information about SIDs, see Security identifiers.
Account Name [Type = UnicodeString]: the name of the account that changed the Central Access Policies on the machine.
Account Domain [Type = UnicodeString]: domain or computer name. Formats vary, and include the following:
Domain NETBIOS name example: CONTOSO
Lowercase full domain name: contoso.local
Uppercase full domain name: CONTOSO.LOCAL
For some well-known security principals, such as LOCAL SERVICE or ANONYMOUS LOGON, the value of this field is “NT AUTHORITY”.
For local user accounts, this field will contain the name of the computer or device that this account belongs to, for example: “Win81”.
Logon ID [Type = HexInt64]: hexadecimal value that can help you correlate this event with recent events that might contain the same Logon ID, for example, “4624: An account was successfully logged on.”
Object:
Object Server [Type = UnicodeString]: has “LSA” value for this event.
Object Type [Type = UnicodeString]: The type of an object to which this event applies. Always “Central Access Policies” for this event.

Security Monitoring Recommendations
For 4819(S): Central Access Policies on the machine have been changed.
Important For this event, also see Appendix A: Security monitoring recommendations for many audit events.
Because this event is typically triggered by the SYSTEM account, we recommend that you report it whenever “Subject\Security ID” is not SYSTEM.
This event can help you to track modifications, additions and deletions of Central Access Policies if it is required by your security monitoring policy.
