Issues and fixes

NPS does not log authentication events to Event Logs

NPS can log succesfull and failed authentication requests to Event Logs, Custom Views → Server Roles → Network Policy and Access Services

  1. Check that loggin is enabled, open Network Policy Server, right click NPS (local) → Properties → there is two selection boxes to log successfull and failed request
  2. If loggin still does not work, from elevated commandline run
auditpol /set /subcategory:"Network Policy Server" /success:enable /failure:enable
