Hi,

What exactly does the 'Security log' in Event viewer provide? How useful and reliable is this tool??

Thanks,
Kev
 
it provides information once you set up auditing.

this allows you to monitor access to everything..

ie you can audit successful and failed logon attempts, you can audit successful and failed access to files, folders, or shares. the information shown should include who accessed it, from what machine, when, and what they accessed (or attempted to).

fairly useful tool, especially to catch people snooping.

Hi,

I heard that some software help to better monitor the critical events that occur in my network (as the data from the Event viewer is quite difficult to manage).

Does anyone know any good software that help the monitoring of events, the management of logs and reporting?

Thanks in advance,
Kev
