After creating a file system audit policy, the next step is to configure which of these events gets audited from the Windows client. By default, no file system accesses will be audited.

Note: Only members of the Administrators local group have the right to edit the file system audit log policy from within Windows Explorer. A user that is not a member of Administrators Local Group cannot amend the audit settings of a file or directory.
  1. Right-click a folder that resides on a server file system that is configured for auditing and select Properties, and then the Security tab.
  2. Click Advanced and select the Auditing tab.
  3. Select Add and select which users get audited.
    For example, select Everyone so that all users get audited.
  4. A box pops up and allows you to specify which events are to be audited for the specified user.
  5. You can choose to audit Successful, Failed, or both for each access type.
