We have a windows 2003 server providing access to files and folder shares, but is not a true &quot;file server.&quot; One of our biggest clients expects us to provide logs showing when a file was opened, and or modified. No more than 10 files will be accessed in a month, somewhare around 50 file stored.<br />
<br />
These logs need to be available to the client for at least 6, months preferably a year. I don't care if it's done via the event viewer or what, but the more autmated, of course the better. This will be one folder within a share with several other folders that do not need to be monitored.<br />
<br />
Thanks! Brian

How do I track and log file access? Preferably in the Windows event viewer.

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).

Network Analysis

Network Operations includes asset management, help-desk supervision, security and user policies, infrastructure administration and anything else that affects the operation of your network. Discussions will include those of best practices in platforms, configurations, performance, security and accounting.
