Windows Event ID 6273 – Network Policy Server Denied Access To A User
| Event ID | 6273 |
|---|---|
| Category | Logon/Logoff |
| Sub-Category | Audit Network Policy Servers |
| Description | The network policy server denied access to a user. |
Events which are audited under the Audit Network Policy Server sub-category are triggered when a user's access request are related to RADIUS (IAS) and Network Access Protection (NAP) activity. The requests are of the following types: Lock, Unlock, Grant, Deny, Discard, and Quarantine.
Every IAS and NAP user access request generates an audit event if the Network Policy Server auditing is configured, and if the NAS and IAS roles are installed on the server.
Example of 6273 log:
Network Policy Server denied access to a user.
Contact the Network Policy Server administrator for more information.

Why does event ID 6273 need to be monitored?
On servers that run Network Policy Server (NPS), the event volume ranges from medium to high. NAP events help understand the overall health of the network, and hence must be monitored.
