I enabled the "object access" auditing, for a domain
controler that is also a file server, to monitor the
folder/file access. But I am getting lot of unwanted
events in security log after that. I increased the size
security log from 2MB to 10 MB but it was full again in
few minutes. Examples of unwanted events are given at the
end. I just want to enable successfull and unsuccessful
attempts logging for file and folder access at this time.
Can some one suggest how to stop rest of the object
access logs.
