IS-IT--Management

We have windows 2000 server running IIS with all updates.

We have about 100 users on this web server. Why? Don’t know….

I need to find a tool which will give me detailed report with when the user was last logged inn on this server, which files he/she owns with the location, size. And, if possible which directories he/she has write and read permission/access too. Just like Disk Space Usage tool that we use for Novell (if anyone has used NetWare file server, I know this is Microsoft).

If you can point out some tool that would be great help. As, I can see most of this stuff can go. Once it gets cleaned and have bare bottom sever we are planning for upgrade both hardware and OS.

The IIS log files are in c:\Windows\system32\logfiles. But, there is lots of stuff and it’s hard to go thru each. I can see user accounts under computer management etc but when we are talking about 100 users its kind of hard….Let me know any tool that will give me info on user account with permission on directory and which use own which file….Thanks.


 
In terms of the file/folder permissions;

Run the Windows resource kit tool SHOWACLS from the command line at the root of the drive;
C:/> showacls /s > secCdrive.txt
Do the same on each drive

Since it is IIS, you can configure all kinds of logging using the settings in the website properties. From there you should be able to get a glimpse as to what users, IPs logged on and at what time and what they accessed.

Hope this helps.
 
Thanks for your inputs but do you remember any tool that we can buy and it will do it for us? I just dont want to miss something and sometimes this tools are cheap and we can use those for lot of other things like finding out where files are etc...thanks again
