  1. Why is ID 4660 not being generated?


    Hello,First I did the following method:Open the Local Group Policy Editor gpedit.msc.Navigate to Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Advanced Audit Policy Configuration -> Object Access.Open the Audit File System policy and check "Success".Run the command "gpupdate /force" in Command Prompt to apply the changes.Then I enabled Audit policy on a folder to delete subfolders and files, but when I delete a folder or a file, only ID 4663 is generated. Why?Thank you.

    :)

  2. Windows Event 4660

    Hello Everyone,

    I'm trying actually to create a detection rule with Windows event 4660 to track any deleted object, file, directory or something like that. I know that this event is logged when an object is deleted. I checked that all the advanced audit policies are configured to Success and Failure to be able to collect the events, but when :

    1. I created a new registry key and deleted it after that, event 4660 has not been logged;
    2. I tried to deleted system registry keys but same thing;
    3. I tried to delete files and directories but also same thing.
    I want to know, why this event code is not generated ? Did I miss something or do something wrong ?

    Need your help.

    Thanks in advance.
