Audit File Share
Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2
This security policy setting determines whether the operating system generates audit events when a file share is accessed.
Audit events are not generated when shares are created, deleted, or when share permissions change.
Note
There are no system access control lists (SACLs) for shares; therefore, once this setting is enabled, access to all shares on the system will be audited.
Combined with File System auditing, File Share auditing allows you to track what content was accessed, the source (IP address and port) of the request, and the user account used for the access.
Event volume: High on a file server or domain controller (due to SYSVOL access by client computers for policy processing)
Default: Not configured
If this policy setting is configured, the following events are generated. The events appear on computers running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7, unless otherwise noted.
