Hi,

I have been trying to develop a Windows Service using VB.Net, the service used to track the domain users & files who is accessing from a shared folder. I will be running this service in the Server which Files are shared and is a part of domain. I am able to get the changes occuring in the shared folders using FileSystemWatcher, but How do I get the domain user who is accessing these files?

Plz help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks,
Suhail

You will need to access the file that is being chnaged, which you can get from the FileSystemWatcher, and look at it's properties. However, not all file types will store information about who last edited it. More information can be obtained from network logs but the file share would also need to have auditing configred.

How can I get the domain user from network logs in Code for these changed files & folders. I have already configured Auditing for the shared folder

Well... 1) Find logs 2) Open logs 3) read logs. What specifically are you looking for?
