Hi, I am trying to blacklist an event id 4670 with task category: Authorization Policy Change

I've tried:

blacklist 1 = EventCode="4670" Task_Category="Authorization Policy Change"

blacklist 1 = EventCode="4670" TaskCategory="Authorization Policy Change"

blacklist 1 = EventCode="4670" Task_Category="s+Authorization Policy Change"

but none works....can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.

According to the docs (and from experience), it'll be "TaskCategory". If the TaskCategory is exactly "Authorization Policy Change" (which google says is likely, then number 2 should have worked. Of course, there's the space issue, which may be real or may just be the editor. I'm going to assume it's a copy and paste and thus the space is a problem. So, your blacklist should be

blacklist1 = EventCode="4670" TaskCategory="Authorization Policy Change"

I don't have any of those events in my logs, so if it doesn't work, please confirm that's exactly the right TaskCategory String.

Please check blacklist1 has no space in it.
