What it means
A disabled account was turned back on.
Why it matters
Re-enabled accounts of former staff are a classic way back in.
What to do
- Confirm the account owner still works for you.
Find it with PowerShell
Get-WinEvent -MaxEvents 20 -FilterHashtable @{
LogName = 'Security'; Id = 4722
} | Select-Object TimeCreated, ProviderName, MessageAdd -ComputerName SERVER to query another machine. Other event sources can reuse the same ID number, so check the ProviderName column.
