Setting up Auditing on one server in domain only.

[tosca925]

I need to set up auditing to track changes to folders and files on one server in the domain. I do not want to set his accross all servers so i suppose i need to edit the local GPO?????

What is the best way to do this and what are the pitfalls? I need to get this up and running a.s.a.p.

How would i go about this?

I need to know who accessed file or folder, when and if it was changed?

Here's a KB article.

Should i choose Full Control for the auditing?

[Geoff]

If you just want to track changes to files/folders you just need:

Create Files
Create Folders
Delete Subfolders
Delete

Should the event viewer tell me who renamed/deleted a file or folder?

[Geoff]

If their account or a group they are a member of is listed as being audited for the file/folder in question, yes. The Security Log will tell you.

need to test it out now

[tosca925]

Right,

It lookslike it shows them accessing the folder but it does not show an event for the renaming of the folder.

IS this correct or have i set this up wrong?
