| Hi, I would like to 'audit' my win2k.
assuming I have 10 files in my directory (shared). I need to know who makes changes to the files, when the changes are made and what the authorised user done with the files.
Can anyone tell me how to (if there is such a feature). Is it under Local Security Settings? or..?
Thanks alot for the help  | |

| This may be what you are looking for:
quote:
To specify files and folders to audit
In Windows Explorer, right-click the file or folder you want to audit, and then click Properties.
On the Security tab, click Advanced.
On the Auditing tab, click Add.
In the Select User, Computer, or Group dialog box, click the name of the user or group whose actions you want to audit, and then click OK.
In the Auditing Entry dialog box, in Access, click Successful, Failed, or both for the actions you want to be audited, and then click OK.
Note
You must log on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group to specify files and folders to audit. Otherwise, in step 2, the Security tab will not appear or will appear in read-only form.
The Security tab is available only for files and folders on NTFS volumes.
Before you can specify files and folders to audit, you must use Group Policy to enable auditing.
Tried for a link, but did not work!
Hope it helps!  | |

| thanks mrfixit.
yeah I've done everything.., except I just checked that the HD is in FAT32, not NTFS..
I guess FAT32 doesn't allow me to do the 'full audit'?

| Ooopss.., my fault..
apparently the user told me his PC is win2k advanced user, with NTFS type.
anyway, what my boss asks me to do is to be able to 'trace' who used what file.
example, there is this spreadsheet (.xls) file, and my boss wants to know who makes the changes and when.
thanks again... | |
