SecurityLogon and session

4634 · An account was logged off

Generated when a logon session is terminated and no longer exists.

01Fields in the event

  • TargetUserSid
  • TargetUserName
  • TargetDomainName
  • TargetLogonId
  • LogonType

02How to use it

Match TargetLogonId to the 4624 that opened the session to estimate its duration. For interactive and remote interactive sessions, expect it together with 4647.

03Caveats

Requires Audit Logoff. Short network sessions may close long after use, so a missing 4634 is not proof that a session stayed open.
