Find source of file copy from
Have a 2008 R2 server that we are trying to move away from, however there seems to be some obscure process or script either coming from that server or some other server that is writing to a share on this server. Its same time every day. Can't find any task or script on that machine that is doing it so I'm wondering if this is coming from another server. Is there something that can tell me or something i can leave running and log it?

If that doesn't work, send out a notice that shares are being disabled, change the folder permissions after a specified amount of time and see who complains. :-)

Don’t think that would work as I think it’s a script or application somewhere doing it
Is the server still in use as fle server for other tasks? If yes, it will get difficult, if no all you need to do is log network access (e.g. by runnng net session and net file around the file creation time).
