Network Information:

                Workstation Name:

I think that it's just a info log about start of some service but I don't understood what kind of service. 

What is Logon process "Advapi" (in Detailed Authentication Information)? I can't find info about it. Thanks.

Hi HunteR,

Based on my research, Advapi32.dll is an advanced Windows 32 base API DLL file; it is an API services library that supports security and registry calls.
