Event ID 5459

IPsec Policy Agent failed to apply locally cached copy of Active Directory storage IPsec policy on the computer.

IPsec Policy Agent failed to apply locally cached copy of Active Directory storage IPsec policy on the computer.

Policy DN:      %1
Error Code:     %2


Event 5459 is the Failure counterpart to Event 5458. It is logged when the PAStore Engine attempted to fall back to the locally cached copy of the AD IPsec policy — having already failed to apply the live AD policy (5457) — but the cached copy itself also failed to apply.

Auditing:     Conditional

Requires **Failure** auditing on the subcategory. Enable together with the full PAStore event family (5456 Success + 5457/5459/5461 Failure) for a complete picture of IPsec policy application health.


Volume:     Low

This event only occurs during the second stage of a dual-failure scenario — the cached copy failing after the live policy has already failed. On a well-managed system this should never appear.
