Livestatus

The result code an LDAP directory server returns on every operation, from the protocol standard rather than from Windows. A device that cannot bind to Active Directory reports one of these, and it says whether the credential was refused, the entry was absent, or the server declined.

This table decodes 57 codes.

SparkLogs decodes these codes on every event that carries one, regardless of feed. The Windows Application event log, Windows application platform event channels, Windows identity and security event channels, Windows management event channels, Windows network event channels, Windows platform event channels, Windows Security event log, Windows Setup event log, Windows storage event channels and Windows System event log feeds read these codes while curating an event.

How to read this

Codes are listed in numeric order. Name is the constant Windows publishes for the code. Token is the short label SparkLogs puts on the event, which is what a question groups by. The last column is our one-line summary of what the code means in plain words.
