Hi Splunkers,
we need to analyze events with code 4662 that contains accessed AD objects, unfortunately object values are presented as IDs (example - %{bf967a86-0de6-11d0-a285-00aa003049e2}, like it is presented in EventViewer).
- Will an attribute
evt_resolve_ad_obj = 1translate IDs (Object Name, Object Type) into names? OR it converts only Security ID? - Is there any suggestion how to translate those IDs to be presented as readable names in EventViewer directly?

You are correct, you need the evt_resolve_ad_obj = 1 setting and it will resolve EVERYTHING.

Thanks,and I've found a new detail in documentation, I'm afraid with our GUIDs will not work, but have to try:
" Splunk software cannot translate SIDs that are not in the format S-1-N-NN-NNNNNNNNNN-NNNNNNNNNN-NNNNNNNNNN-NNNN"

I have never seen SIDs that did not get resolved.

DIdn't get to prove, because we've decided to grab sids and guids via ldapsearch and format lookup.
But thanks, accepting!
