I hope you have enormous event log files and a ton of disk space overhead, if you want to do this using Event Viewer. Turning on file and folder auditing for all files is a bit bonkers in my opinion though. In the past I have done event log collection and parsing using dumpel and a bit of batch scripting, although there are loads of other products out there that others will doubtless reel off for you.
I use WebSense for internet monitoring, and find it a fantastic product. Maybe a bit pricey for a shop your size though. Same goes for SCOM which I use for event log monitoring, although System Center Essentials might be suitable for your needs, and includes WSUS and a version of the-application-formerly-known-as-SMS if I remember rightly. 2009/1/7 Alex Carroll <[email protected]> > I have a request from my CEO to audit everything that happens on our > network.
