It isn't cheap. Usually not the best choice for a smaller company. As ASB mentioned there is Tripwire as well. I use both products and there is some overlap with functionality. I consider Tripwire more of a compliance tool, as where Varonis is more of an auditing tool. I think DataAdvantage would better fit your needs in this case.

The MS logfiles are just too "chatty". But filesystemwatcher looks interesting. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Joseph L.

A quick look has me guessing windows can provide all this info natively. Enabling auditing for example and use a query to mine the relevant info. If you needed to act on a file system event, there is the file system watcher class which you can leverage either yourself or through some opensource implementations that allow you to run the watcher as a service. Is what your after just logging for accountability? jlc ________________________________________ From: Ray [rz...@qwest.net] Sent: Monday, September 24, 2012 2:09 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: System/file monitoring I tried a trial version of this: http://www.poweradmin.com/file-sight/ = which seems to do what I need. I have a lot of users I can't necessarily trust, not to mention just being careless. Anyway, what this does is just keep an eye on the folders and files to see who's creating, deleting or moving them. Just curious if anyone's using something "better".
