identifying the creator of a file

[Guest Guest]

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?

Is it an MS Office document? Might be able to get their username from the "Summary > Advanced" tab of the properties if it is (it'll most likely be under "Author")

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.
