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 PanelAdministrative ToolsLocal Security Policy.
  2. In the tree on the left, select Security SettingsLocal PoliciesAudit 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.
