Hello,

I change the audit policy, all were success in security setting.
In event viewer, it shows the success audiot in security option.
But the description was too simple.

For example, If any user change the any user's file permission. Any method
can display the username, time, which item change(specific detail) in
description.

Thanks

You'll need to enable auditing for successful object access events on the
servers on which the folders reside, and you'll need to enable auditing on
the folders you want to monitor. To enable auditing for successful object
access events, you can either use an existing Group Policy Object (GPO)
that's applied to your file servers or, if you don't already control
auditing through Group Policy, you can enable it in each server's Local
Computer Policy. Either way, set the Audit object access policy under Local
Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security
Settings\Local Policies\Audit Policy (in Group Policy Editor—GPE) to a
Security Setting of Success.

To enable auditing on a folder, open the folder's properties dialog box,
select the Security tab, click Advanced, and select the Auditing tab of the
Advanced Security Settings window. Be careful which permissions you enable
for auditing because you can easily fill up your log with access events. In
your case, you want to monitor only for successful uses of the permission
that lets a user change an object's ACL—the Change permissions permission.
Shows that I've enabled auditing of successful Change permissions events on
the DeptFiles folder. I've also specified Everyone as the name of the audit
entry because I want to audit everyone. . . .

Users cannot modify AD ACLs. But if you want to check their ACLs they
have on their computers, you can use some tool that allows remotely
manipulating with security such as Scriptlogic's Security Explorer
(http://scriptlogic.com/securityexplorer).

have on their computers, you can use some tool that allows remotely
manipulating with security such as Scriptlogic's Security Explorer
(http://scriptlogic.com/securityexplorer). To be more specific if we
are talking about auditing I would suggest using Active Administrator
(http://scriptlogic.com/aa) which is capable of auditing Active
Directory usage.
