Take Action: Out-of-band updates to address issues with local policy events in Active Directory group policy

Microsoft has identified an issue where audit logon/logoff events in the local policy of the Active Directory Group Policy might not show as enabled on the device even if they are enabled and working as expected. This can be observed in the Local Group Policy Editor or Local Security Policy, where local audit policies show the “Audit logon events” policy with security setting of “No auditing”. An out-of-band (OOB) update has been released today, April 11, 2025, to address this issue.
