Dear salmaalouf,

sorry forgot also to add the link to article "Operation-based auditing on files or folders" http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738931(WS.10).aspx

Kind regards,
Soren

Note that this type of auditing adds many entries to the security log.  you might want to consider using event forwarding that is part of windows such that all the events are collected on a single system where it can be analyzed or use something like splunk for log analysis.
Presumably you will not be sitting watching the access in real time but need a record in the event you have to review something.

How to configure event forwarding on Windows 2003
can you send me the detail
is there a site I can find a ready script for event forwarding or othe software can do the same job
The links to MS point how you would go about to setup the forwarding/subscribing.

You can also use snmptrad daemon and setup SNMP on each server. Then using evntwin you would configure the security events to snmptrap mapping.

Try and see whether splunk is what you want.

Are you familiar with vbscript/databases
You could use the above rertieving the logs while inserting them into a database (ms sql)
good reference but no direct way to see all the events on one server 2003
i hope windows 2008 solve this issue more practical way
