SYMPTOMS
If you programmatically set auditing on a file for some events, the corresponding check boxes do not appear in Explorer's auditing dialog box.



CAUSE
Auditing is set correctly on the file and the appropriate audits are being generated. The audit properties dialog box in Explorer is not displaying the audit settings accurately, and can be ignored.



RESOLUTION
To work around the problem, use the same tool to view the SACL as you used to manipulate the System Access Control List (SACL).

To resolve this problem, use the new security user interface in Explorer that is installed when you add the Security Configuration Editor component of Service Pack 4, which does not exhibit this problem.

For additional information about obtaining the latest service pack for Windows NT version 4.0, please see the following article(s) in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Windows NT Server version 4.0. This problem was first corrected in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4.
