Oh ok... I thought I had to also configure a GP.
I agree, the way the network is setup isn't ideal. But I just started working here, and management here is resistant to change. Maybe some day.
By the way; can Vista Home and XP Home computers join a domain?

Hello JohnB,
If the users have a domain user account, which i assume, because they use RDP to connect to the server, then open the folder properties where the data is stored, go to Security Tab and enable auditing on the folder, choose the user accounts or better create a group, move all user accounts to the group and add the group for auditing. Now you can see in the event log what the users have done.
BTW, using a DC for normal user logons as a Terminal server is a really bad decision from the point of security. A DC should always do it's main work and not be accessed by normal users. For this kind of application server/terminal server use a member server.
Best regards

This is kind of an usual situation; approximately 50 users whose
primary use of the network is to RDP into a server to use a company
application. It is a Windows 2003 server that was setup as a DC. The
clients are Vista and XP, all Home edition. So none of the computers
are joined to the domain (I know, unusual).
The server is backed up at night by Scheduler using xcopy in a batch
file. Everything seems to work fine with the backup.
But, almost every day, files and sub-folders turn up missing from one
particular folder on the server. They are primarily Word and Excel
files (all accessed locally using RDP).
I redirect the output of the xcopy commands to a text file. Today
when someone reported files missing from the folder, I looked at that
backup log and could tell the number of sub-folders was down
considerably from the day before.
My guess is this could be one of two things; either the xcopy command
is somehow *loosing* files/folders or, someone is accidentally
deleting or moving files during the day. I have never seen folders
come up missing after an xcopy. So am leaning towards the problem
being with a user moving/deleting them. I would like to use auditing
to find out if a user is responsible.
My question is: how do I use Auditing for Object Access if none of
the
computers are joined to the domain?
If they aren't, I can't configure the GP.
TIA
