Operating System->Microsoft Windows->Built-in logs->Windows 2000-2003->Security Log->Logon/Logoff->EventID 576 - Special privileges assigned to new logon
EventID 576 - Special privileges assigned to new logon

Indicates that a privilege that is not auditable on an individual-use basis has been assigned to a user's security context at logon. 

Note:
Some privileges are used so frequently that auditing their every use would flood the audit log with useless noise. For example, SeChangeNotifyPrivilege is also used to bypass traverse access checking. This privilege is granted to all users in a normal system configuration and is used multiple times for each file opened. This audit event record is intended to warn an administrator that such a privilege has been assigned.
