Language Pack For Imgburn here. Over the years, security admins have repeatedly asked me how to audit file shares in Windows. Until Windows Server 2008, there were no specific events for file shares. The best we could do was to enable auditing of the registry key where shares are defined. But in Windows Server 2008 and later, there are two new subcategories for share related events: • File Share • Detailed File Share File Share Events This subcategory allows you to track the creation, modification and deletion of shared folders (see table below). You have a different event ID for each of those three operations. The events indicate who made the change in the Subject fields, and provides the name the share users see when browsing the network and the patch to the file system folder made available by the share. See the example of event ID 5142 below.

Invision Power Board here. A network share object was added. Subject: Security ID: W8R2 wsmith Account Name: wsmith Account Domain: W8R2 Logon ID: 0x475b7 Share Information: Share Name: * AcmeAccounting Share Path: C: AcmeAccounting The bad news is that the subcategory also produces event ID 5140 every time a user connects to a share.

The data logged, including who accessed it, and their client IP address is nice, but the event is logged much too frequently. Since Windows doesn’t keep network logon sessions active if no files are held open, you will tend to see this event frequently if you enable the “File Share” audit subcategory. There is no way to configure Windows to produce just the share change events and not this access event as well. Of course that’s the point of a log management solution like EventTracker, which can be configured to filter out the noise.
