File and folder auditing is enabled and disabled using either Group Policy (for auditing domains, sites and organizational units) or local security policy (for single servers). To enable file and folder auditing for a single server, select ''Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy''. In the Local Security Policy tool, expand the ''Local Policies'' branch of the tree and select ''Audit Policy''.
