What exactly is the "Logon GUID"?


Recommended Posts

Gurus,

 

In the event log detail below, what exactly is the "Logon GUID" referring

to? The transaction below represents a user named "TestUser" who accessed a

network share on "SQLServer", from a machine who's IP address was

192.168.1.24.

And why would the "Workstation Name" be blank? Doesn't Windows know what

workstation a user is coming from "over the network"? Granted, if this were

an IIS server I would understand, but this was a case of a domain user

hitting the system's network share from a domain computer, same subnet.

Was the access over the network from a Windows 2000 machine? I may be wrong

but I seem to remember that entries over the wire from 2K boxes have issues

with populating 'Hostname' field.

Actually, that's not the same GUID Spin is talking about.

 

This Logon GUID is unique to the Kerberos ticket used for authentication.

You would use this to correlate a logon event with security logs on a DC and

the security logs on the machine being accessed. I'm not sure how that GUID

is generated or how NTLM authentications are handled. Hope that little bit

of info helps!
