Event Viewer
Event Viewer for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 includes several new event logs, which now provide additional GPO logging events, similar to those shown in Figure 19.15. GPO logging now includes administrative GPO events, stored in the system log with a source of Group Policy (Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy), and GPO operational events, stored in the Applications and Services Logs, which is stored in Microsoft/Windows/GroupPolicy/Operational. By default, minimal logging for Group Policy processing is performed, but if additional logging or troubleshooting is required, you can increase the logging level. Changing Group Policy logging options is covered in the “Troubleshooting Group Policies” section, later in this chapter.
