**Remarks:**
On creating a subkey for a parent, the expectation is to see a 4656 event for the newly created subkey. We see this event only when "Audit Object Access" is enabled under Local Policies > Audit Policy in Local Security Policy. This event is not generated while using advanced audit policy configurations for registry specific events, such as, using "auditpol.exe /set /subcategory:{0CCE921E-69AE-11D9-BED3-505054503030} /success:enable". While using regedit.exe for creating subkeys we see additional 4663 event because we perform NtEnumerateKeys on the newly created subkey. We can additionally see a 4663 event on the newly created key, if we try to rename the subkey. While using reg.exe for creating subkeys we see additional 4663 event because we perform NtSetValueKey on the newly created subkey. It is advised not to rely on 4663 events for subkey creation as they are dependent on type of permissions enabled on the parent and are not consistent across regedit.exe and reg.exe.
