The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

details how to turn on auditing.  There are two places to do - the policy to enable it, and then the file/folder you want to track...

First you need to enable the auditing of object access. This is set as a local policy, either in the local machine policy or it can be applied through a GPO. If you only sucessful ecents logged then you only need to enable the auditing of sucess.

Once this is done you can then specify which files/folders to monitor and which users you will audit.
If you configure a group policy to enable the Audit Object Access option, you can set the level of auditing for individual folders and files. This allows you to control precisely how folder and file usage is tracked. Auditing of this type is only available on NTFS volumes.

You can configure file and folder auditing by completing the following steps:

Once you audit object access, you can use the Auditing tab to set auditing policies on individual files and folders.

Use the Auditing Entries list box to select the users, groups, or computers whose actions you want to audit. To remove an account, select the account in the Auditing Entries list box, and then click Remove.
 
To add specific accounts, click Add, and then use the Select Users, Contacts, Computers, Or Groups dialog box to select an account name to add. When you click OK, you'll see the Auditing Entry For New Folder dialog box If you want to audit actions for all users, use the special group Everyone. Otherwise, select the specific user groups or users, or both, that you want to audit.
 
Select the Successful or Failed check boxes, or both, for each of the events you want to audit. Successful logs successful events, such as successful file deletes. Failed logs failed events, such as failed file deletions. The events you can audit are the same as the special permissions listed
 
Choose OK when you're finished. Repeat this process to audit other users, groups, or computers.

The selected events will then be written to the Security Log.

Perhaps this is a better way of stepping you through it...

1) Enable auditing via policy....
  a) Click Start->Run->secpol.msc
  b) Under Local Policies \ Audit policy, enable "Audit object access" for 'success' events (means that the access was 'successful' - failures would indicate permission problems to do so
2) Enable auditing on the 'object'.  
  a) Right-click a folder/file and choose properties
  b) From the security tab, click Advanced
  c) From the Auditing tab, click Add
  d) Now, if you want to find 'who' - it's best to 'add' the Everyone group
  e) For the audit access, choose Delete, again under Successful (for a successful deletion)
3) Check the events
  a) Open event viewer  (Start->Run->Eventvwr)
  b) Look for/filter on the event ID 560

It will read something like"
Object Open:
       Object Server:      Security
       Object Type:      File
       Object Name:      C:\filename.ext
       Process ID:      3820
       Image File Name:      C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe
       Primary User Name:      sirbounty
       Accesses:            DELETE
