Windows Logon Types

I have received several requests asking what the different Logon Types are for the different Windows Login/Account Login (528,538,540,672,4624,4634,4768) Events.  These can be found all over the place on Microsoft’s website and others but instead of putting the links I thought I would just put the chart here. 

 

Logon Type Logon Title Description
2 Interactive A user logged on to this computer
3 Network A user or computer logged on to this computer from the network
4 Batch Used by batch processes that may be executing on behalf of a user without their direct intervention
