Hello everybody!

There are two different ways to audit NT: audit policy (trough User Manager) and audit events in files and diretories (trough NT Explorer / Proprieties / Security / Auditing).

The results of first way appears at Event Viewer, but of the second way don`t. Why? Can you explain me, please?

Thanks, Ana Lucia.

Hi Ana,
In order to audit files and directories using Windows NT Explorer, Success and/or Failure auditing must first be enabled for the File and Object Access event in User Manager. Files and folders must reside on an NTFS partition for security logging to be enabled. Once the auditing of file and object access has been enabled, use Windows NT Explorer to select auditing for individual files and folders. I hope this helps Ana.

Sincerely,
Troy
