|
||
For 4956(S): Windows Firewall has changed the active profile.
|
||
|
||
- Typically this event has an informational purpose.
|
||
|
||
- For domain joined machines you could monitor for all events where **New Active Profile** doesn’t equal **“Domain”**. This indicates that the computer was connected to another non-domain network.
