    Thanks for all previous posts, with your help I've successful develop my
    (now not so tiny) perl script. It connects to every DC in a domain to get
    its logs and send them to a central log machine running syslog (it's based
    on evlogsys.pl halat_private) but with mayor changes. An integration with
    big brother (www.bb4.com) is planned sending logs alarms to bb.
    
    When I start to test the script I've found this problem: the DCs (about 50
    country wide), generate logs faster than I can read, most of them are 560
    562 events, according with this trend in a few time I'll be missing many
    logs entries.
    
    Does any of you know the meaning of the EventID 560 and EventID 562 ? When
    are and why are they generated ?
    Is there any way to stop this logs events ? Should I miss too many
    information doing this ?
    
    
    
    EventID 560: Object Open:%n\r\n%tObject Server:%t%1%n\r\n%tObject
    Type:%t%2%n\r\n%tObject Name:%t%3%n\r\n%tNew Handle ID:%t%4%n\r\n%tOperation
    ID:%t{%5,%6}%n\r\n%tProcess ID:%t%7%n\r\n%tPrimary User
    Name:%t%8%n\r\n%tPrimary Domain:%t%9%n\r\n%tPrimary Logon ID:%t%10%n\Object
    Open:%n\r\n%tObject Server:%t%1%n\r\n%tObject Type:%t%2%n\r\n%tObject
    Name:%t%3%n\r\n%tNew Handle ID:%t%4%n\r\n%tOperation
    ID:%t{%5,%6}%n\r\n%tProcess ID:%t%7%n\r\n%tPrimary User
    Name:%t%8%n\r\n%tPrimary Domain:%t%9%n\r\n%tPrimary Logon ID:%t%10%n\
    
    EventID 562: Handle Closed:%n\r\n%tObject Server:%t%1%n\r\n%tHandle
    ID:%t%2%n\r\n%tProcess ID:%t%3%n\r\n
    
    Descriptions are:
    EventID 560: Event generated by auditing "Object Open" activities. 
    EventID 562: Event generated when auditing is turned on for object access:
    "Handle Closed" 
    
    The audit policies are:
    ------------------------
    
    Audit account logon events ( Success, Failure )
    Audit account management ( Success, Failure )
    Audit directory service access ( Success, Failure )
    Audit login events	( Success, Failure )
    Audit object access ( Success, Failure )
    Audit policy change ( Success, Failure )
    Audit privilege use ( Success, Failure )
    Audit process tracking ( No auditing )
    Audit system events ( Success, Failure )
    
    
    If any is interested in a copy of this script just send me a mail. By now it
    only gets the logs and send them to a syslog server.
    
    Thanks in advance,
    Gonzalo.
