wipe clues from server
Hi experts, I need your help!!
I have recently switched on my win98 workstation, logged into the w2k server domain and then accessed and copied password protected data that I wasn't supossed to access.
Could w2k server had loged this operations (without 3rd party software)? If the answer is yes, where does it places the log files so I can clean them?

I have administrator access to the server, so this has nothing of ilegal. Where are that logs located???
Ask your network administrator then.

Sorry ToolKoolKris but this site is for questions and answers, if you don't know the answer or if you don't want to help me with this trouble, just don't put more impertinent comments to me.
Thanks.
Thanks.
This site is for questions and answers that's correct. However it's not for helping you cover your tracks when you accessed files you shouldn't have. Nobody on this site is going to help you in your quest to erase logs so that no one will know that you accessed files you shouldn't have. This question will also be notified to the site operators to see that it is properly deleted as well. Have a good day.

You stated that you accessed files you weren't supposed to. Therefore, you were doing something against company policy. It is against the morals of this board to answer any questions regarding covering up tracks, doing something you are not supposed to, or hacking. I don't think you'll get any answers here...
nasheerz,
The answers you've been given are the ones you're going to get; I've force-accepted accordingly.
I've been in Net Admin for a company which does a lot of work with banks and governments. One of my colleagues did exactly what you've done, and had he not gone to our boss and told him (he looked at the CEO's email) he'd have lost his job, even though he has full admin privileges.
The logs exist specifically to see who's doing what. You've done it. I think your course of action is clear. Further, I've alerted EE Admin to this question, and made a notation in your EE profile.

P.S. This sounds like hacking. This site strictly forbids any topics with relevance to illegal activities.
