File Access auditing / tracking 2

[waldadam]

Does anyone have suggestions for tracking which users access files and when.

For certain directories I would like to be able to access who accesses files and when. If possible it would be great to store the information in a database, but just a txt logfile would be fine.

Thanks

Yes this is helpful, but I am hoping I can get away from the event viewer, and just have a plain text logfile that is easy to archive and search.

I suppose I could send the event viewer items to a syslog server via a 3rd party addon, but there has to be something else.

I'm not sure, but I think there is a resource utility called DUMPEL.exe that might help you.
