I found an article from WindowsITPro.com formally winnetmag.com.  What you
are seeing is someone logging onto your server that has the following user
right: Bypass traverse checking (SeChangeNotifyPrivilege)EVENT ID: 576


This is then followed by EVENT ID: 540 or 528

The article is titled, "Win2K Security Log Roundup".  Normally user rights
such as SeChangeNotifyPrivilege are not audited so you only see them when
the user logs on.


What a long strange trip this will be
