Enable Windows audit logging for sign-in attempts

Turn on logon-event auditing so Syspeace Service can see failed sign-in attempts.

Syspeace v3 and v4

Syspeace Service detects sign-in attempts by following the Windows Security event log. Windows only writes those events if logon auditing is turned on.

  1. Open Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Local Security Policy.
  2. In the tree on the left, select Security Settings → Local Policies → Audit Policy.
  3. In the list on the right, double-click Audit logon events.
  4. Check both the Success and Failure checkboxes, then save.

Servers joined to a domain may need this delivered through Group Policy instead of the local security policy.

Once auditing is enabled, continue with Verifying a downloaded installer checksum, then Install Syspeace Service and Console.
