Active Directory lightweight services missing some eventlog entries


I use an ADLDS instance and have enabled "15 Field Engineering" via registry to enable debug logging in event log for LDAP queries made by clients.

So far all works great, I have created an OU on the adls server, created a user and gave him read access to query entries within this OU. As expected, the eventlog created an entry with event-id 1644 with all information.

Now I have created a second separate OU with a new separate user with read access to the new OU.

When doing LDAP queries with this user in the new OU, the eventlog is missing the event.

So far I checked the attributes on the user and OU if there is a flag for logging, but cant see on.

I have disabled and re-enabled the registry keys, restarted the server to get it working.

Is there some other option I need to activate that it works? Thought cant remember doing something special when creating the first user / OU.


Solution

  • After a while I came around two additional parameters to be set

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ADAM_<Instance>\Parameters
    

    There, add two additional dwords and set them to 1

    "Expensive Search Results Threshold"
    "Inefficient Search Results Threshold"
    

    Restart the service and any query will be in the event log.
