Field Descriptions:

Subject:

  • Security ID [Type = SID]: SID of account that requested the “add object” operation. Event Viewer automatically tries to resolve SIDs and show the account name. If the SID cannot be resolved, you will see the source data in the event.

Note  A security identifier (SID) is a unique value of variable length used to identify a trustee (security principal). Each account has a unique SID that is issued by an authority, such as an Active Directory domain controller, and stored in a security database. Each time a user logs on, the system retrieves the SID for that user from the database and places it in the access token for that user. The system uses the SID in the access token to identify the user in all subsequent interactions with Windows security. When a SID has been used as the unique identifier for a user or group, it cannot ever be used again to identify another user or group. For more information about SIDs, see Security identifiers.

  • Account Name [Type = UnicodeString]: the name of the account that requested the “add object” operation.

  • Account Domain [Type = UnicodeString]: subject’s domain or computer name. Formats vary, and include the following:

    • Domain NETBIOS name example: CONTOSO

    • Lowercase full domain name: contoso.local

    • Uppercase full domain name: CONTOSO.LOCAL

    • For some well-known security principals, such as LOCAL SERVICE or ANONYMOUS LOGON, the value of this field is “NT AUTHORITY”.

    • For local user accounts, this field will contain the name of the computer or device that this account belongs to, for example: “Win81”.

  • Logon ID [Type = HexInt64]: hexadecimal value that can help you correlate this event with recent events that might contain the same Logon ID, for example, “4624: An account was successfully logged on.”

Object:

  • COM+ Catalog Collection [Type = UnicodeString]: the name of COM+ collection to which the new object was added. Here is the list of possible collection values with descriptions:
CollectionDescription
ApplicationClusterContains a list of the servers in the application cluster.
ApplicationInstancesContains an object for each instance of a running COM+ application.
ApplicationsContains an object for each COM+ application installed on the local computer.
ComponentsContains an object for each component in the application to which it is related.
ComputerListContains a list of the computers found in the Computers folder of the Component Services administration tool.
DCOMProtocolsContains a list of the protocols to be used by DCOM. It contains an object for each protocol.
ErrorInfoRetrieves extended error information regarding methods that deal with multiple objects.
EventClassesForIIDRetrieves information regarding event classes.
FilesForImportRetrieves information from its MSI file about an application that can be imported.
InprocServersContains a list of the in-process servers registered with the system. It contains an object for each component.
InterfacesForComponentContains an object for each interface exposed by the component to which the collection is related.
LegacyComponentsContains an object for each unconfigured component in the application to which it is related.
LegacyServersIdentical to the InprocServers collection except that this collection also includes local servers.
LocalComputerContains a single object that holds computer level settings information for the computer whose catalog you are accessing.
MethodsForInterfaceContains an object for each method on the interface to which the collection is related.
PartitionsUsed to specify the applications contained in each partition.
PartitionUsersUsed to specify the users contained in each partition.
PropertyInfoRetrieves information about the properties that a specified collection supports.
PublisherPropertiesContains an object for each publisher property for the parent SubscriptionsForComponent collection.
RelatedCollectionInfoRetrieves information about other collections related to the collection from which it is called.
RolesContains an object for each role assigned to the application to which it is related.
RolesForComponentContains an object for each role assigned to the component to which the collection is related.
RolesForInterfaceContains an object for each role assigned to the interface to which the collection is related.
RolesForMethodContains an object for each role assigned to the method to which the collection is related.
RolesForPartitionContains an object for each role assigned to the partition to which the collection is related.
RootContains the top-level collections on the catalog.
SubscriberPropertiesContains an object for each subscriber property for the parent SubscriptionsForComponent collection.
SubscriptionsForComponentContains an object for each subscription for the parent Components collection.
TransientPublisherPropertiesContains an object for each publisher property for the parent TransientSubscriptions collection.
TransientSubscriberPropertiesContains an object for each subscriber property for the parent TransientSubscriptions collection.
TransientSubscriptionsContains an object for each transient subscription.
UsersInPartitionRoleContains an object for each user in the partition role to which the collection is related.
UsersInRoleContains an object for each user in the role to which the collection is related.
WOWInprocServersContains a list of the in-process servers registered with the system for 32-bit components on 64-bit computers.
WOWLegacyServersIdentical to the LegacyServers collection except that this collection is drawn from the 32-bit registry on 64-bit computers.
  • Object Name [Type = UnicodeString]: object-specific fields with the names and identifiers for the new object. It depends on COM+ Catalog Collection value, for example, if COM+ Catalog Collection = Applications, then you can find that:

    • ID - A GUID representing the application. This property is returned when the Key property method is called on an object of this collection.

    • AppPartitionID - A GUID representing the application partition ID.

Note  GUID is an acronym for ‘Globally Unique Identifier’. It is a 128-bit integer number used to identify resources, activities or instances.

  • Object Details [Type = UnicodeString]: the list of new object’s (Object Name) properties.

    The items have the following format: Property_Name = VALUE

    Check description for specific COM+ Catalog Collection to see the list of object’s properties and descriptions.

Security Monitoring Recommendations

For 5890(S): An object was added to the COM+ Catalog.

Important  For this event, also see Appendix A: Security monitoring recommendations for many audit events.

  • If you need to monitor for creation of new COM+ objects within specific COM+ collection, monitor all 5890 events with the corresponding COM+ Catalog Collection field value.
