Configuring object level auditing - using Windows shares

To audit file and folder access, object-level auditing must be enabled. This can be achieved in three ways:

• Using Windows shares
• Using PowerShell cmdlets
• Using Global Object Access Auditing

Using Windows shares

• Right-click on the share folder that you want to audit, and select Properties.
• Click on the Security tab > Advanced, and then click on the Auditing tab. For the Everyone group, add the following entries:
