Object Access Event: 563

Event ID 563 – Object Open For Delete

Event ID 563 is logged when an object has been opened successfully with the intent of deletion. This event does not imply that the object was deleted. To check if the object was deleted, the user should look up the "Object Name" in the audit log.

• New Handle ID
• Operation ID
• Process ID
• Primary User Name
• Primary Domain
• Primary Logon ID
• Client User Name
• Client Domain
