Windows User-ID agent not collecting mapping

L1 Bithead

I'm working on getting a Windows User-ID agent set up for a customer and it's not collecting logs.  Checked all permisssions and service account user is in Event Log Readers and has permissions to both the install folder and registry entries.  Just as a test, I had the customer add the service account to the domain admins group and the user mapping started populating immediately.  Any permissions that I'm missing?  If not, what could be wrong on the AD side preventing Event Log Readers from viewing the logs?

Adding to an old thread due to Google search results.  My solution was someone had enabled an advanced audit policy in the default domain controllers GPO, which in turn disables the basic audit policies.  I followed https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-ds/plan/security-best-practices/audit-p... to enable the recommended audit settings, ran gpupdate on all DCs, and the User-ID agent started pulling logs from the DCs again.
