This policy setting allows you to audit incoming NTLM traffic.

If you select "Disable", or do not configure this policy setting, the server will not log events for incoming NTLM traffic.

If you select "Enable auditing for all accounts", the server will log events for all NTLM authentication requests that would be blocked when the "Network Security: Restrict NTLM: Incoming NTLM traffic" policy setting is set to the "Deny all accounts" option.

This policy is supported on at least Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
