We turned on windows 2000 auditing for a particular
user on our file server(SERVER1) and found a very
interesting audit events, but we don't know what
action actually trigered all the events. We noticed
that a folder (Group1) and all of its subfolders has
been accessed within a 3 econds. Yes just within a
few
seconds. We though the user(user2) might has been
browsing through the folders and subfolders, but it
just sound impossible to browser all the folders in
less than 3 seconds !!. We also though of the user
(user2) might have copy the whole folders and paste
it
some where... This will sound more logic to do in 3
seconds...

Have you thought of asking the user?  Also, since the
events you posted are all success events, it would
seem that the user is performing authorized
activities...so, what's the point?  

So, what you guyz think? .

Honestly?  You really need to put more thought into
what auditing you enable.
