My managers would like to have auditing for printing so we can see a list of
who prints what. I have looked through the windows KB and found a document
to help me start this procedure but it seems a bit imcomplete.

KB document:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;323228&Product=win2000
States "How to track Printer Usage"

When I go to Security/Advanced/Auditing and choose a user to audit, I get
the following message:
"The current Audit Policy for this computer does not have auditing turned
on. If this computer gets audit policy from the domain, please ask a domain
administrator to turn on auditing using Group Policy Editor. Otherwise, use
the Local Computer Policy Editor to configure the Audit policy locally on
the this computer."

We are still using an NT 4.0 Domain, so I configuring through local policy.
But I do not know with object to audit that will only tell me who printed a
document and what the document was....

I believe i have seeen this on NT 4.0, where do I go to set this up for
2000? Thanks.
