Audit Handle Manipulation

Applies to

  • Windows 10

This topic for the IT professional describes the Advanced Security Audit policy setting, Audit Handle Manipulation, which determines whether the operating system generates audit events when a handle to an object is opened or closed.

Only objects with configured system access control lists (SACLs) generate these events, and only if the attempted handle operation matches the SACL.

Important:  Handle Manipulation events are generated only for object types where the corresponding File System or Registry Object Access subcategory is enabled. For more information, see Audit File System or Audit Registry.  

Event volume: High, depending on how SACLs are configured

Default: Not configured

Event ID Event message
4656 A handle to an object was requested.
4658 The handle to an object was closed.
4690 An attempt was made to duplicate a handle to an object.
