Sql Server audit could not write to the security log I am following the training kit for 70-462(Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Databases), and stuck on Auditing SQL Server instances lesson. I have created new user in domain controller, assign it Generate Security audits and Log on as a service rights. Then I installed SQL Server instance on one of the machine in the domain with this account. I checked installed instance service and it is started under this account. I have also followed the steps here http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/jonathan/resolving-error-33204-sql-server-audit-could-not-write-to-the-security-log/.

But when I am enabling the audit it logs the error: 


  Sql Server audit could not write to the security log


Version: SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.2100.60(X64) Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 &lt;X64&gt;(Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (Hypervisor) 


What else can I check?
It is a little bit silly, but after restarting the machine audit was enabled without any problem.
