Hello,

We want to log users who try to write to folders that they do not have
permissions to. We have enabled logging under Local Policies, Audit
Policies. Its not working tho.

For example, say there is a folder on the C:\ that users do not have
permissions to write to. Run a DOS command to write a file.

C:\>Dir *.* > C:\Secure\test.txt
Access is denied.

DOS says that access is denied and nothing gets written to the Security
event log. Is there something else that needs to be enabled or set?

Thanks,

ChrisW

Yes, there is. Auditing needs to be enabled on the folder which you want to
have audited. To do this:

Rightclick the folder -> Properties -> Security -> Advanced -> Auditing
tab -> Add...

Enable the settings you want to enable, and you should be ready to go.

Casper.
