Server Security-File/Folder Access Auditing?

I am looking for a solition that will allow me to audit / monitor who access:
- files
- folders/directories
on a server. Does anyone know of a third party solution or something that is close to what I'm looking for?
Thanks

This is really frustrating. Just got 2012 R2 management server and a week after, I noticed the same issue. The only difference is that I'm sorting AD delegation, with 150+ ACEs. While having huge lists of ACEs, it is a must of being able to sort them
by different columns. Sad that it is considered a bug - it's usually an opposite, when a bug is offered as a feature...
I still hope this will be fixed with time to come, else - it will be more practical to use PowerShell than such handicapped GUI.

Control of file/folder access

Hi!, how can I set access control for files / folders?

You can also do a "get info" (cmd+i) on the file/folder and set permissions for access under "Sharing and Permissions" at the bottom of the window (you may have to click the lock and authenticate yourself first).

Cannot sort in file/folder access control list in 8 or Server 2012

I use Windows 8 and Server 2012 Datacenter (with GUI). In 7/2008R2, I was formerly able to get properties on a file or folder, go to Security tab, click Advanced, and sort the access control list by type, access, inherited from, etc. Now, it
doesn't do anything when I click on the headings. I know I did not find this during the Beta or Release Preview periods, but I do wish this feature would be added back.
I tried to send this through MS Connect, but they said it was a Server 2008 issue. Does that mean that it was never supposed to sort? But I argue that 8 and Server 2012 have the bug. Here is an image of the window I am referring to, for
clarification:

"Exchange Server 2003" Public folder access within OWA

Hello,
I can connect to my exchange server 2003 (I know I have to upgrade) with OWA through an alias (webmail). After connecting in OWA, when I click a button in the navigation bar (contact, rules, ...), it's working OK except for public folders. When I click on
public folders button, IE open a new window with this URL https://<netbios server name>/public instead of https://webmail/public. I googled around and found a thread explaining how this problem can be address by modifying navbar.js. But in my situation
navbar.js and every other files located in ..\exchweb\control doesn't seem to be access anymore, they have been replaced by those here ..\exchweb\6.5.7651.60. There is no navbar.js in this folder but a vw_navbar.js. I can't find the code I have to modify like
in navbar.js to to address the problem.
Thanks for your help.
Chris

Hi Chris,
This symptom can be caused if we enabled any redirection on /Public virtual directory. You can check the /Public settings and configuration files to remove the redirection. We can also reset the reset the default virtual directories as the KB introduced:

Leopard Server - Web User folder - Access forbidden

Hi,
we migrated our users from a Tiger server to a Leopard yesterday. Now all of them have 'access forbidden' errors on their web.server.com/~username folders.
There are read-only permissions on their sites folder and we can access the default server home page.
I have seen the posts for deskop 10.5.4 stuff for personal web sharing but that doesn't apply here.
Any ideas?

I should say that the _www user/group is a system user/group, and therefore its hidden from the typical list of users and groups. I don't have a Leopard server in front of me, but there is a way to view system users and groups in the list. Hopefully your engineer knows it off the top of his head.

EA4500 - USB Media Server media file - folder file type question

I've read through a lot of the discussions here and I'm wondering if this is an issue with those External USB Drives that are listed as compatible here on the linksys support site? I have a 1.5 TB WD My Book Elite that is exhibiting this issue intermittently. I'm aware of the option to format to FAT32 rather than NTFS, but I'd rather not. I'm specifically looking at the WD Elements 2 TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive. I'd also considering trying HFS+ but I don't know if that will work either.

External HDDs found on this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=5f18093aedee4f09a26eae80a33d630e_Tested_HDD_and_Pr... are proven to work with the routers. External HDDs that are not part of the list may not have the possibility to work with the router since they are not yet tested to work with the router.

File/Folder sharing over RD Gateway?

I have read in the RD Gateway description that it "enables file/folder access" outside the company's intranet.
My understanding of this would be "bypassing the full desktop environment", but HOW?
Suppose, I only want my BYO users (no Group Policy) to be able to click on an .RDP file I prepared for them, and "magically" a folder would open from the intranet-hosted DFS. This is to avoid having them to VPN in.
I have RDGW deployed and available to Internet. While outside coprnet, I am able to use RDS on a group of pre-defined servers inside.
The SSL cert is publicly trusted and matches external URL.
How can I map a folder via RDGW, bypassing the full dekstop experience???

Hi Sergey,
The way you can 'enable file/folder access' in rds is to either redirect a users local drives to an RD session as seen below. That makes the user get extra "drive maps" from which they can transfer files to and from the RDP session.
Note that ctrl+c/ctrl+v also works from a local computer/rd session without having any redirected drive.
Also see this thread for further information:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/a198403a-5f1e-458d-b88f-731bb0ac3e4c/transfer-files-between-hostclient-computer-with-remote-desktop-v8-on-mac?forum=winRDc
To get the redirection working, you both need to enable this feature on the client (or prepare it in the .rdp-file), on the rd gateway and on the rd sessions hosts themselves:

Windows server 2008r2 files and folder auditing.

Hi ,I want to Monitor files and folder with auditing in 2008r2 like write,read,delete etc..
Can you please help me on that.
Thanks in advance for your support.
Thanks,
Bhautik Shah

Hello,
this must be enabled on the folder you like to monitor. Steps in the following thread from the same question are still valid:
Enabling file auditing is a 2-step process.
[1] Configure "audit object access" in AD Group Policy or on the server's local GPO. This setting is located under Computer Configuration-->Windows Settings-->Security Settings-->Local Policies-->Audit Policies. Enable success/failure auditing
for "Audit object access."
[2] Configure an audit entry on the specific folder(s) that you wish to audit. Right-click on the folder-->Properties-->Advanced. From the Auditing tab, click Add, then enter the users/groups whom you wish to audit and what actions you wish to audit
- auditing Full Control will create an audit entry every time anyone opens/changes/closes/deletes a file, or you can just audit for Delete operations.
After you've done both of these steps, any file deletions will show up in the Security log of the file server that hosts those files.

Audit when file/folder permissions change?

Hello,
We have an old Windows 2003 std server and someone keeps changing the permissions on a single file that is very important, can I audit who does this?
Thanks

Hi，
Firstly, please enable audit object access policy under Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Audit Policy in Local Group Policy Editor (if it is in a domain, please check it under the default domain
policy in Group Policy Manager) to a Security setting of Success.
Then you need to enable auditing on that file. Please open the file's properties dialog box, select the Security tab, click Advanced, and select the Auditing tab of the Advanced Security Settings window. In your case, you can check the
Change permissions permission in the "Auditing Entry for ..." page.
After that, you can check the security logs in event viewer once some changes the permissions on that file.
Best regards,
Susie

EA6500 - unable to setup Folder Access / FTP Server / Media Server functions

I purchased the EA6500 a few days ago, and when I'm connected to Cisco Connect Cloud I am unable to select Folder Access / FTP Server / Media Server. I click them and nothing happens.
Also, the Cisco light on the router keeps blinking. I'm googling to find out how to troubleshoot these situations but I'm having no luck.
I appreciate any help with these situations.

I contacted customer service, and they helped me troubleshoot. The description of the router and it's capabilites appears misleading to me - "Folder Access" - I thought it gave one the capability to file share between different computers that are on the same network. It's only for files that are on a USB stick that's connected to the router. Oh well. Good thing I still have Network Magic Pro.
In addition to this, storage functionality on the router doesn't need any software for it to work. The router should be able to detect the external drive when connected and get it configured on the router's interface unlike network magic which you've mentioned where the program must be installed to all computers in the network for it to be able to see all devices present in the network and share files and folders through it.

How to access a single file folder in timemachine using another computer as my own was stolen?

Help!
My Macbook Pro was stolen!
I made backups with timemachine. But now there is no other Mac in the area to access this, and a windows computer does not read it. I am also nowhere near an Apple store.
Possibly next week, via a colleague, I will have access to another Macbook. How do I find and restore then the single file folder in the timemachine backup. which has all work related documents, onto the desktop of this other computer, so that I can then transfer it via USB stick to a windows operated desktop computer?
Thanks for any tips!

No, there's no good way to do this. You *could* (if you can run an .exe file off the flash drive) try the Flash Projector, if you can run the SWF as a standalone application.

I'm running logic pro 8.0.2 on Leopard 10.5.8. I've recorded an evening of live music, the cut the recording into songs using one audio file folder. When working on an individual song, I can't access the sampler. I get the message "nothing to display"

I'm running logic pro 8.0.2 on Leopard 10.5.8. I've recorded an evening of live music, then cut the recording into songs using one audio file folder ad multiple song files. When working on an individual song, I can't access the sampler. I get the message "nothing to display" or "no region or audio file selected" After much research on the web, I believe this is a permanent bug. Does anyone have a good work-around for this type of work. We record live 16T band rehearsals constantly and would love to be able to break individual songs out of the large file and be able to use the sampler. Thanks in advance for your ideas! Cheers.

Another thing - if I copy one of the tracks to another track, then the sample editor works on the copied track. I don't want to have to copy 16 tracks to new tracks to be able to use the sample editor on a project. Thanks again.

Window 7 32 bit client machine dot net exe running in IE8 or IE9 from server security warning file download issue

Help me in the issue, Asp dot net exe which run from server in IE 8 window 7 32 bit client machine show security file save download message. This app was running fine if we don't apply any window 7 or IE8 patches. same issue when running in
IE9. I already run the caspol, add the server link to trusted site with low security. I wonder why it was working fine without any patches.
I just found that client machine win 7 32 bit has dot net 4.5.1 installed when updated all the patches. after uninstall the dot net 4.5.1. the application worked fine. now I wonder what are the settings need to change to run the application with dot net 4.5.1
installed on machine. as Microsoft always has these things in window updates. thanks in advance.

Hi Gparhar,
In case you are posting on .NET setup forum, I suspect it is not the right forum for your issue, we talks about "setup and deployment of .NET Framework.", if you have problem on installing and uninstalling .NET 4.5.1, we can share you some advice.
For your specific case, I recommend you consult ASP.NET forum instead:

On startup CC tells me to install an update. It downloads to 5% and then brings the message: "installation-program couldn't get access to critical file/folder. Try installing again. Error code 42". Any advice?
