Make File System changes and run a report

NOTE: If you do not refresh the agent’s configuration, the agent will automatically check for a new agent configuration based on the polling interval setting (located on the System Settings tab of the Configuration Setup dialog). The default is every 15 minutes.

change the security permissions on a file (right-click file, open the Security tab and add another user with full control)
•
delete the .txt file
•
add a subfolder
•
change the security permission of the new folder
•
rename the subfolder

Troubleshooting steps

* 
NOTE: If the Search Properties tabs are displayed across the bottom of the Search Results page, double-click an event to display the event details for the selected event.

If the Windows file server events do not appear as expected, check the following:

•
Verify that the File System Auditing template is assigned to the agent configuration for your agents.
•
Refresh the specified agent configurations on the Agent Configuration page to ensure the latest File System Auditing template is being used.
•
Verify that you have selected those types of events in the File System Auditing template. (Events tab in the wizard.)
•
Verify that you have included the correct subfolders and files in the File System Auditing template. (Inclusions tab in the wizard.)

Introduction

To capture Windows file server events, you must define the files/folders to be audited and the events to be captured:

1
Create a File System Auditing template which specifies the files/folders and events to be audited.
2
Add this template to an agent configuration.
3
Assign the agent configuration to agents.
* 
TIP: Quest recommends a phased approach to setting up file/folder auditing for all servers. A phased approach will allow file/folder auditing to be deployed in stages so that the coordinator performance is not degraded.
* 
NOTE: Windows File System auditing is supported in a Windows failover cluster configuration. However, the agent is not aware of the cluster and will only audit the active nodes in the cluster where agents are deployed.
