Local Security Policy will be overridden by Domain/OU/or Domain Controller Security
Policy [for domain controllers only] as shown by effective permissions being
different that local.

Enabling auditing on folders will generate tons of events. To minimize the events,
audit the bare number of needed folders, for the bare number of needed users, and for
the bare number of needed permissions. Avoid auditing the everyone/users group, using
a specific group instead, and audit only what permission you want to track. If you
simply want to see who accessed a file just audit the read permission. If you want to
see who deletes a file, just audit the delete permission. -- Steve
