Is there a way to monitor what users do with files and directories on a Windows Server 2003 R2?
Hello all,
Im needing to use any software or procedure to log and filter what users and what they are doing with files and directories. What may I do? What software may I have to install to see what user deleted a file or renamed a directory, for example. We have a Windows Server 2003 R2 as a file server in a AD 2003 domain.

About the Windows Auditing log: I used that config but the Security Logs arent so practical to use because for one simple file deleted I have more than 5 entries. Another question: how may I filter all that logs? I need to find rapidly between an interval, for example: between day 01/01/2010 and 10/01/2010 what users did to a specific directory. The Windows Auditing log isnt good to find that type of information. And our windows file server has more than 700,000 files and 20,000 directories. The log will blow up soon, hehehe.
