Auditing Windows Event Logs
Some global auditing information is stored in the Windows Event logs. It is a
requirement of 21 CFR Part 11 that these logs be archived. However, by default,
Windows systems automatically remove these data without warning.
Note: It is therefore critical that the event log is reconfigured to generate and
preserve all necessary log data. Regular manual intervention is also required to
preserve these data.
To open the Event Properties Log
1. Open Administrative Tools and click Event Viewer.
2. Right-click on each log and select Properties.
