Discussion

Log files help establish a history of activities and can be useful in detecting attack attempts. This item declares the fields that must be available in the audit log file in order to adequately research events that are logged. Audit records should include the following fields to supply useful event accounting: Object modified, Cmdlet name, Cmdlet parameters, Modified parameters, Caller, Succeeded, and Originating server.

Check Content

Open the Exchange Management Shell and enter the following command:

Get-AdminAuditLogConfig | Select AdminAuditLogParameters

Note: The value of "*" indicates all parameters are being audited.

If the value of "AdminAuditLogParameters" is not set to "*", this is a finding.

Fix Text

Open the Exchange Management Shell and enter the following command:

Set-AdminAuditLogConfig -AdminAuditLogParameters *
