Audit: Audit the access of global system objects
Description
This security setting determines whether to audit the access of global system objects.
If this policy is enabled, it causes system objects, such as mutexes (mutual exclusive), events, semaphores (locking mechanisms used inside resource managers or resource dispensers), and DOS devices, to be created with a default system access control list (SACL). If the Audit object access audit policy is also enabled, access to these system objects is audited.
Note
- When configuring this security setting, changes will not take effect until you restart Windows.
Default: Disabled.

You can configure this security setting by opening the appropriate policy and expanding the console tree as such: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\
