Logon types description from Windows servers:

                                                           

Logon   type	Logon title	Description
2	Interactive	A user logged on to this computer.
3	Network	A   user or computer logged on to this computer from the network.
4	Batch	Batch   logon type is used by batch servers, where processes may be executing on   behalf of a user without their direct intervention.
5	Service	A   service was started by the Service Control Manager.
7	Unlock	This   workstation was unlocked.
8	NetworkCleartext	A   user logged on to this computer from the network. The user's password was   passed to the authentication package in its unhashed form. The built-in   authentication packages all hash credentials before sending them across the   network. The credentials do not traverse the network in plaintext (also   called cleartext).
9	NewCredentials	A   caller cloned its current token and specified new credentials for outbound   connections. The new logon session has the same local identity, but uses   different credentials for other network connections.
10	RemoteInteractive	A   user logged on to this computer remotely using Terminal Services or Remote   Desktop.
11	CachedInteractive	A   user logged on to this computer with network credentials that were stored   locally on the computer. The domain controller was not contacted to verify   the credentials.
