Is it possible to tell what user account created a file?

  • 772

I'm trying to debug which user (windows account) is responsible for actually writing a file from my ASP.NET site. When I set the permissions on the folder to everyone, I can write to the directory. When I set the permissions to my account, NETWORK SERVICE, or ASPNET I cannot write to the share. How can I determine what user is writing or trying to write to the share given a file?

The event log doesn't show any details.

    You can enable object access auditing (via Local Security Policy or GPO) and then configure auditing entries on the Advanced Security settings of the shared folder.
