The big problem is that the NTLMv1 events from 2008 R2 servers are not recorded in the event logs on the domain controllers while the NTLMv1 events from the 2003 servers are. The event subscription is just a way to collect the event logs in the domain in one place.

I'm a little confused about what isn't working correctly from your point of view. I've re-read this thread a couple times, and I'm not sure which of the following it is that you are interested in (and maybe it's both).

Is it that the NTLM info events aren't showing up in the logs of the DCs? Or that the event subscription on the member servers where the NTLM events happen doesn't send the events that do get logged?

In terms of other things to consider, I wonder if the netlogon log might be useful. It doesn't have event subscription functionality, but it might have something useful to you in it.

Again, if anyone has info...even if it's about what or where to look next...it would be greatly appreciated.

Update:
I've confirmed that a second 2008 R2 server logs NTLMv1 events (ID 4624) locally but those same events are not logged at the domain controller.
That second 2008 R2 server also logs Credential Validation events on the domain controllers.

I wonder if this is a change in auditing functionality, intended to be an enhancement?

The subscription filter is one that was posted on a couple of technet blogs:

<QueryList>
<Query Id="0" Path="Security">
<Select Path="Security">*[System[Provider[@Name='Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing'] and (EventID=4624) or (EventID=4625)] and EventData[Data[@Name='LmPackageName']!='-'] and EventData[Data[@Name='LmPackageName']!='NTLM V2']]</Select>
</Query>
</QueryList>

One more audit related piece of info before I drop it entirely:
Turning on Credential Validation (on the domain controller policy and on the member server) does capture credential validations from the server in the domain controller logs...which I've observed by creating a separate subscription for event IDs related to Credential Validation. It doesn't report the NTLM version of course, but the fact that this event is being captured may be a clue.

What exactly does your subscription filter look like? Does it include any parameters beyond event ID? Since you note that event 4624 is being captured on the 2008R2 hosts but is simply not forwarded, I wouldn't focus any more attention on the audit policy itself.
