3. Summary of Group Policy Event IDs

Each event recorded with the GroupPolicy source name can be categorized into one of many ranges of related events. These ranges help you determine start, end, success, failure, and so on for each event. Table 5 summarizes each event ID range.

Table 5. Group Policy Event ID Ranges

Event ID Range

Description

4000–4007

Group Policy start events: These informational events appear in the event log when an instance of Group Policy processing begins.

4016–4299

Component start events: These informational events appear in the event log when a component of Group Policy processing begins the task described in the event.

5000–5299

Component success events: These informational events appear in the event log when a component of Group Policy processing successfully completes the task described in the event.

5300–5999

Informative events: These informational events appear in the event log during the entire instance of Group Policy processing and provide additional information about the current instance.

6000–6007

Group Policy warning events: These warning events appear in the event log when an instance of Group Policy processing completes with errors.

6017–6299

Component warning events: These warning events appear in the event log when a component of Group Policy processing completes the task described in the event with errors.

6300–6999

7017–7299

Component error events: These error events appear in the event log when a component of Group Policy processing does not complete the task described in the event.

7300–7999

Tip


Most of the events related to the GroupPolicy source appear in pairs. Group Policy processing includes a start event and an end event. The Event IDs within the 4000 range are all start events. These events are followed by events that fall in the other ranges, which are all ending events: error, fail, information, or success. Pairing the events will help you identify problems more quickly when using the Event Viewer and logs.
