Re: Utility to monitor who accesses a particular directory?

File System Auditor from ScriptLogic will accomplish this for you. It
doesn't create a log file though, it uses a SQL Server or MSDE backend,
so multiple servers can write to the same database. It also uses a mini
filter driver so it doesn't conflict with backup software or others
that use filter drivers. The filter driver enables File System Auditor
to audit access without having to turn on Object Access Auditing on the
server or parse event logs. It also lets you choose what you want to
audit on a folder by folder basis and offers scheduled reporting too.
Additionally you can exclude processes from being tracked, so for
instance backup programs and AV provgrams could be excluded easily.

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,
