Exchange Server 2003 service pack 2 adds functionality to meet this need. For earlier versions of Exchange, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884863/ There might be third party stuff that does what you want, but I'm not aware of it. ________________________________ From: Tom Kern [mailto:tpkern@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 10:07 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] audit deleted public folders http://www.MSExchange.org/ I'm running exchange 2k post sp3 rollup. I have "Directory Access" auditing enabled on the domain controllers ou. This morning someone deleted a mail enabled public folder and the only event i get is this- Event Type: Success Audit Event Source: Security Event Category: Directory Service Access Event ID: 565 Date: 1/26/2006 Time: 8:08:10 AM User: OPANDCO\EXNYC03$ Computer: OPNYC10 Description: Object Open: Object Server: DS Object Type: publicFolder Object Name: %{ececd715-14da-44bb-919b-0bf8ac8d07ca} New Handle ID: 0 Operation ID: {0,2476766380} Process ID: 304 Primary User Name: OPNYC10$ Primary Domain: OPANDCO Primary Logon ID: (0x0,0x3E7) Client User Name: EXNYC03$ Client Domain: OPANDCO Client Logon ID: (0x0,0x93421897) Accesses DELETE Privileges - Properties: For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp . OPNYC10 is the dc the delete took place on and EXNYC03 is the exchange server hosting this folder. However by reading the event, it looks like the Exchange server deleted the folder. I know thats not right. Is it that someone deleted the mapi folder through Outlook and then Exchange cleaned up the folder object from AD? If so, how can I audit the mapi public folder deletions? Thanks a lot ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: michael@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
