Auditing file creation & deletion

[SpuffMonkey]

I need to audit file creation & deletion on a 2003 server - the audit needs to really run over several weeks (if not longer)

Can someone point me to a good idiot's guide on how to do this effectively - or to any (cheap) tools that could assist?

Thanks

You need to turn auditing on in GP if I remember rightly then set up auditing in the advanced properties of folders/volumes.

Righty ho - got it all working now - can anyone recommend a noce tool for analysing the logs - I particularly want to see file creations and deletions.

I've got EventComb - which is...OK...but would like something better and free if available - any ideas?

Thanks

Congratulations, you've just entered a expensive area of enterprise systems management. You'll have to throw thousand of pounds at <insert big software company> for something like that.
