Cannot generate Account Logon Events (Event ID 4624) in Security Event Log on Server 2008 R2 Domain Controller

Question

I have configured the Default Domain Controller's policy to log SUCCESS for Account Logon Events in the Server 2008 R2 Domain Controller, but these events are not logging in the Security Event log.
Default Domain Controllers Policy
Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies/Audit Policies/Audit Account Logon Events = Success.
What tools can I use to troubleshoot this further? The results of "Auditpol.exe /get /category:*" are below.

Hi Lawrence,
After configuring the GPO, did we run command gpupdate/force to update the policy immediately on domain controller? Besides, please run command gpresult/h c:\gpreport.html to check if the audit policy
setting was applied successfully.
