Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a file server
named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.
You view the effective policy settings of Server1 as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)

You need to ensure that an entry is added to the event log whenever a local user account is created or deleted
on Server1.
What should you do?

A.
In Servers GPO, modify the Advanced Audit Configuration settings.

B.
On Server1, attach a task to the security log.

C.
In Servers GPO, modify the Audit Policy settings.

D.
On Server1, attach a task to the system log.

Explanation:
When you use Advanced Audit Policy Configuration settings, you need to confirm that these settings are not
overwritten by basic audit policy settings. The following procedure shows how to prevent conflicts by blocking
the application of any basic audit policy settings.
Enabling Advanced Audit Policy Configuration
Basic and advanced audit policy configurations should not be mixed. As such, it’s best practice to enable Audit:
Force audit policy subcategory settings (Windows Vista or later) to override audit policy category settings inGroup Policy to make sure that basic auditing is disabled. The setting can be found under Computer
Configuration\\Policies\\Security Settings\\Local Policies\\Security Options, and sets the
SCENoApplyLegacyAuditPolicy registry key to prevent basic auditing being applied using Group Policy and the
Local Security Policy MMC snap-in.
In Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, the number of audit settings for which success and failure can be
tracked has increased to 53. Previously, there were nine basic auditing settings under Computer Configuration
\\Policies\\Windows Settings\\Security Settings\\Local Policies\\Audit Policy. These 53 new settings allow you to
select only the behaviors that you want to monitor and exclude audit results for behaviors that are of little or no
concern to you, or behaviors that create an excessive number of log entries. In addition, because Windows 7
and Windows Server 2008 R2 security audit policy can be applied by using domain Group Policy, audit policy
settings can be modified, tested, and deployed to selected users and groups with relative simplicity.
Audit Policy settings
Any changes to user account and resource permissions.
Any failed attempts for user logon.
Any failed attempts for resource access.
Any modification to the system files.
Advanced Audit Configuration Settings
Audit compliance with important business-related and security-related rules by tracking precisely defined
activities, such as:
A group administrator has modified settings or data on servers that contain finance information.
An employee within a defined group has accessed an important file.
The correct system access control list (SACL) is applied to every file and folder or registry key on a
computer or file share as a verifiable safeguard against undetected access.
In Servers GPO, modify the Audit Policy settings – enabling audit account management setting will generate
events about account creation, deletion and so on.

In Servers GPO, modify the Audit Policy settings – enabling audit account management setting will generate
