audit folder access, exclude user Cam 11-27-2007

I have a folder which one user uses to read and write files on a regular
basis. A few other users access the folder on rare occasions.

I want to audit access to this folder for every user except the one user who
accesses the folder on a regular basis.

I can't see how to do this, but this must be possible, isn't it? If I add
Everyone, that will include the one user.

Hello Cam,

Why do you grant them access, if you then will control if they access the
folder? Just give the rights only the people they need it and you're done.

Best regards

Hello Cam,

Anyway, create a group in ADUC, add the user you like to audit and add this
group to the auditing tab of the folder security advanced permissions.

Best regards
