Hi - yes I have found that its a lot more difficult to do turn on auditing from a script then you would think 1) get ADsSecurity.dll from http://download.microsoft.com/msdownload/a.../x86/en/Sdk.zip 2 ) place it in \winnt\system32 or \windows\system32 and activate by typing REGSVR32.EXE ADsSecurity.DLL 3) copy/ paste the ad.vbs file from http://www.serverwatch.com/tutorials/article.php/1476741 and he has some instructions about how to use it. unfortunatly he says he will write an artical about auditing from scripts but I have not found it yet - but this program is at least capible of doing it, he says. three parts http://www.serverwatch.com/tutorials/article.php/1476721 http://www.serverwatch.com/tutorials/article.php/1476741 http://www.serverwatch.com/tutorials/article.php/1476751
