Enabling Object Access Auditing Shows no Events in the Security Log

so i've followed steps enable object access auditing.  on new windows server 2008 standard machine acting ad / dns / file server / dhcp.  went default domain policy , enabled success , failures object access auditing.  went main share file server , selected directory contains autocad projects i'd monitor.  went in auditing tab , added user group parameters checked except 'full control'.  i've waited standard gp refresh interval of 90 minutes.  nothing appears in event logs though can plainly see there many open files share , storage management snap-in.  before this, tried auditing user group 'engineers' , nothing appeared in logs.  think security log flooded events no auditing seems happening.  note, i'm still able see things logon successes , active directory audits in security log.  maybe point out of workstations accessing server still running xp pro sp3.  ideas why happening , how can fix great. best, scott daniel ok, figured out. forgot file

i had win 2008 std server running hyper-v, running win 2003, sp2 guest. host upgraded 2008 r2. guest network cannot connect lan, either via dhcp or static ip. i have removed integration services drivers, removed virtual nic, removed virtual network,re-added virtual network, nic detected, installs, but cannot dhcp address, nor function static ip. i seem stuck....     you covered basic things (the first being upgrade integration components in vm). frequently find necessary delete , re-create virtual network on hyper-v server. then change configuration of vm select new virtual network. you can try vm emulated virtual network adapter, if fails need move stack virtual network. this can happen number of reasons. i find when export vm hyper-v v1 , import hyper-v r2 informative message related network stack.  have open settings of hte vm , select virtual network , well.   brian ehlert (hopefully have found useful) http://itproctology.blogspot.com

Should you ever store data in the folder hosting a DFS *namespace*?

hi all. i'm involved in discussions relating dfs deployment within organisation i'm working for. in looking @ configuration of dfs, appears have happened number of dfs namespaces have been created, these have then been replicated, , data has been stored within these folders , replicated (the replication desired). my view "sub-optimal" configuration , have found plenty of documentation stating that, once you've created dfs namespace, should populate folders/targets desired, pointing data on various servers. these folders, in turn, replicated (or not) required. to illustrate: assuming domain name of "mydomain.co.uk", following four namespaces have been configured far: \\mydomain.co.uk\distributed_apps \\mydomain.co.uk\user_mydocs$ \\mydomain.co.uk\user_profiles$ \\mydomain.co.uk\user_home$ each of these namespaces configured physical folder on namespace server, , folder contains relevant data. re-iterate, joe bloggs' home drive mapped \\mydomain.co.u
