Re: Looking for the softwares to monitor our file server

You can do this with the Event Viewer. The problem is that it isn't turned on by default. You need to go to the drive 
or folder that you want to audit for user activity and then turn it on. You can audit for success and failures.

Subject: Looking for the softwares to monitor our file server

Hi all,
I'm a network manager at smal-size company. We've one file server
using Windows 2003 server. I'm only using Event Viewer to log all
operation with the file server. Recently, some important data in the
file server have been deleted.  So, I can't detect when does this
operation occurs? And Who do this?
To improve the logging capability, i googled and found this software:
Alfa File Monitor (http://www.alfasp.com/products.html). It meets with
our requirement, but very expensive (1.999 EUR).
Do you know any software like Alfa File Monitor (with less price) ?
The software can answer quetions:
- Who does delete, modify the file server?
- When does this occurs?

Many thanks,
