SChannel event logging levels
SChannel event logging levels becomes very important when you start to see many events, especially errors, and this is what happens usually.
So changing the logging levels is very useful if you need to troubleshoot and see what is going on.
All you need to do is changing the logging level from registry.
The key is located under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL and it’s name is EventLogging
It has a Reg_DWORD Type value. The default value is 1 which tells it to log only Error Messages.
I’m listing other values here.
You might need to restart the server, I didn’t need in my case.
