Event ID 4663: Object access attempt.

Description This is a Data ONTAP event. An object(file or directory) has access attempt has been made. The access could be to
  • Read object
  • Write object
  • Get object attributes

  • ADAudit Plus offers in built reports that collect logs in real time and presents it to the administrator whenever an attempt has been made to access an object.
  • The reports provide details about the object that is being accessed, who attempted the access and when the action was performed.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 and 7
  • Windows Server 2012 R2 and 8.1
