Click Define These Policy Settings, and then click to select one or both of the following check boxes:
- Success: Click to select this check box to audit successful attempts for the event category
- Failure: Click to select this check box to audit failed attempts for the event category
- Right-click any other event category that you want to audit, and then click Properties
- Click OK

Because the changes that you make to your computer's audit policy setting take effect only when the policy setting is propagated or applied to your computer, complete either of the following steps to initiate policy propagation:
- Type 'gpupdate /Target:computer' at the command prompt, and then press Enter
- Wait for automatic policy propagation that occurs at regular intervals that you can configure. By default, policy propagation occurs every five minutes.
