In Windows Server 2008, events generated by auditing policies are primarily recorded in the Security event log. This log captures various security-related events, such as successful and failed login attempts, file access, and changes to user permissions. Additionally, system events related to auditing can also be found in the System event log. For detailed auditing configurations and results, administrators can use the Event Viewer to filter and analyze these logs effectively.

To enable auditing, you typically need to access the settings or configuration menu of the system or application you wish to audit. This often involves navigating to security or compliance settings, where you can specify which actions or events you want to log. In many cases, you may need administrative privileges to make these changes. After configuring the desired audit settings, ensure to save your changes and verify that auditing is functioning as intended by reviewing the logs generated.
The section of Group Policy Object (GPO) Local Policies that allows administrators to log successful and failed security events, including logon events, account access, and object access, is found under Security Settings. Specifically, this is located in Advanced Audit Policy Configuration within the Audit Policies. Administrators can configure auditing settings for different categories to track and log these events effectively.
The event viewer is an application that allows system administrators to view interesting events that occurred in the system. There are three basic categories of events: informational, auditing, and error logging. Informational events simply note interesting events, such as the length of time required to boot, or certain services starting or stopping. Auditing events are logged when a certain condition occurs in the system, and can be configured by administrators. Examples of audits include attempts to view a directory or file, or attempts to log in. Error logging events are generated when an exception occurs in the system, such as a service failing to start or an application crash. These events can assist administrators in diagnosing and repairing system failures.
