Translate object access audit log

Hi all,

We keep having folders mysteriously being moved from one directory to another or being deleted. I have set up auditing on these directories but am having difficulty translating the entries in the event viewer. I set the auditing up to track "Delete Subfolders and files" & "Delete".

What parts of the log entry will inform me if a file/folder has been deleted or moved?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi, have a look at this for deletes:

You should look for 560's with coinciding 564's, A move will be the same as a delete.

Thanks for the reply. Starting to make sense. However, the two entries that I have are both ID 560. have attached a txt file.

Have changed some of the info like domain, user etc. Effectively "D:\someDir" stands for the dir that was moved.

Cheers,
