    Security auditing - how to disable?


    I noticed after checking my event viewer for something that under Windows>security, there are tons and tons of "audit success" entries. Is this necessary for the PC to run security auditing constantly like this and log it? It seems unnecessary. Can I disable it?

    :)

    Sensitive Security Information

    I work for an airline and do a lot of work on my phone. I am unable to access or edit documents that have sensitive security information. I audit stations and would like to perform my audit on my phone since I have the Nokia 1520 and would be easier to carry
    around than a big tablet. How do I make it so I am able to access sensitive security info and complete a checklist with sensitive security info on it

    ?

    Security auditing - how to disable?

    No reason to. Compared to the enterprise editions or what gets setup in corporate environments, the consumer versions of Windows and their Security Audit reporting is nothing.

    Okay, but that doesn't really explain why it's doing it, or if and how I can disable it if I want to. My hard drive always seems to be scribbling something even while in idle. The less logging the drive has to do the better.

    I guess I"m not going to get any assistance on this one? I'd just like to know if this is necessary, as it's adding a ton of entries constantly.

    Could you post a screen shot using snip tool or something similar ? Makes it easier to see exact issue.

    Also, is there an Event ID number identifying the process ?

    Security auditing - how to disable?

    I already looked it up there is no control for those audit messages. The ones you can configure are already off by default. However, honestly it doesn't matter. The logs trim themselves once reaching a set size.

    Okay, thank you then. I just wanted to be sure it was normal to have so many entries being logged, sometimes a bunch over just a few seconds of time.
