Re: Utility to monitor who accesses a particular directory?

Hmm... not a bad idea. Thanks for the input.

I think you want to look at event log management type tools then that can
give you more of a spoon fed view. It would be silly to add another device
driver to do something that is already available.

Hi, We have a directory with sensitive information that we would like to
monitor to see who accesses it and attempts to access it. I have auditing
enabled, but the logs are difficult to read and understand.

Ideally, I would like a program that monitors a directory, and writes to
a log file each time someone accesses it, or attempts to (we're in an AD
environment). It would be nice to be able to exclude the system and
backup accounts from being logged.

Does anyone know of a utility that can do this? Thanks,
