A.4.3.2. Creating an Audit Policy
To create an Audit Policy, please perform the following steps:
1. Open the Local Security Settings by opening the Control Panel and starting Administrative Tools
2. Expand Local Policies and select Audit Policy
3. Activate the setting Audit object access and restart your system
Now that you have enabled auditing on a file-and-folder level you need to specify which file or folder should
be audited:
1. Right-click the corresponding file or folder and select Properties
2. Open the Security tab and click on Advanced
3. Open the Auditing tab and click on Add
4. Add a user account or user group which you want to audit, for example Administrator
5. Select one or more audit events, for example Full Control and click on OK
6. Close all open windows
Every time the chosen user account (In our example the Administrator account) accesses the file or folder
with the selected audit event (In our example Full Control), an entry with the category Object access will be
created in the Windows Eventlog:
1. Open the Control Panel and start the Administrative Tools
2. Start the Event Viewer and select Security
Please always keep in mind that the size of the Eventlog may and should be configured according to the
free space on your hard disk.
