Re: Tracking file deletions on Win2K3 Servers

Hello GCB,

Enable auditing on your folder's, that you will control.

Best regards

This is probably a very simple question but I would like to know how I
can keep track of which users delete files from one of my servers. I
have applied the usual security to users which means that some users
have access to some folders and not others etc.

Just lately files in various folders have been going missing, I tried
turning on auditing for the folder but found I was getting far more
information than was needed in the event logs, all I want to know is
which user/s are deleting files, is there any easier way of reporting
this, maybe either by a report being sent to an email address?

Many thanks in advance for any tips.
GCB
