I've had a miscreant create a file on our student share with rather unpleasant name. I'm trying to locate the creator of the file so I can arrange some sort of public humiliation but when I look up the file's properties on the server it lists the owner / creator as "Administrator" Not all that helpful.
Does anyone know a way of finding the true creator?

21st December 2011, 03:32 PM #3 Well... if administrator is the owner then it could be that administrator has posted it (or someone who knows the pass)...or you have a backup solution that edits this information. Then you should change this asap. I think you have no other alternatives to find this culprit. You could also look into file object auditing.
