    I saw your request for comments on the LogAnalysis mailing list, and
    thought
    I'd contribute the following experiences.
    
    While the logon type may be inaccurate in the 538 event, you can
    correlate
    to the associated 528 (Logon) event using the Logon ID which looks
    something
    like (0x0,0x5B45F1). This Logon ID is used for all security events
    occuring
    during that logon session, including the 538 event.
    
    I've also found that, for domain controllers and members servers, you
    will
    typically have fewer 538 events than 528 events. I believe this is
    attributed to users undocking/BSOD/powering off - where no actual logoff
    occurs - and the resources being used simply timeout.
    
    Thanks
    Gord T.
