Event ID: 4614

A notification package has been loaded by the Security Account Manager

A notification package has been loaded by the Security Account Manager.
This package will be notified of any account or password changes.

Notification Package Name:  %1


This event generates every time a Notification Package has been loaded by the Security Account Manager.

In reality, starting with Windows Vista, a notification package should be interpreted as afs Password Filter.

Password Filters are DLLs that are loaded or called when passwords are set or changed.

Each time a system starts, it loads the notification package DLLs from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Notification Packages registry value and performs the initialization sequence for every package.
