Briteeyez,

Have you enabled Auditing in a GPO?

Have you manually set up auditing on the objects that you would like to audit?

I think I have enabled auditing in the GPO but can you tell me so that I can be certain. I have also set up auditing on the main folder that holds everything else. Is it best to do it on all the folders that are in this folder or that is not necessary.

do i need to restart the server for these new changes to take effect.

After enabling auditing in the GP, you need to go to the Object (folder) properties.
