If you have a domain you are better off doing this through group policy which can be applied to the entire domain or to a specific (or multiple) OU<br />

The GPO settings are the same as the local security policy.

I've already tried using the auditpol command. Although it works perfectly for the Advanced audit policies, it doesn't work for the ones just under local policies which is what I'm trying to change. Of course, I could just be entering the command wrong, but regardless, it's still bothersome. &nbsp;I am not trying to set advanced audit policies, just the ones under local policies

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Within the Local Security Policies on Windows, there's a category called Audit Policies. I'm trying to write a script that is capable of changing all the audit policies to success and failure, however I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I don't want to change the Advanced audit policies, just the audit policies under local policies in the Local Security Policy application. If that's possible through any scripting language, feel free to leave an example, and if it's not possible, could somebody please let me know, this has been bothering me awhile and I would like to get it out of the way. Thank you!

Changing Audit Policies through scripting

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.

Windows 7

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.

Shell Scripting

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Windows Batch

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
