Today we released version 2.0 of our File System Auditor solution.
If you're unfamiliar with the product it does what the name implies; audits the activity in a Windows file system. Using a file system driver, File System Auditor tracks each and every action with the file system and records those actions in a centralized secure SQL database. Actions are intelligently audited, so a move of a file (which could really be a copy and a delete) shows up as a single move entry rather than two separate entries. No longer do you need to rummage through thousands of event log entries or rely on snapshot solutions that only get bits and pieces of the changes to your Windows file servers.
What's new with FSA 2.0:
- New improved interface
- Centralized configuration of audit settings enterprise-wide
- Support for Windows Clustered servers
- Improved Reporting of activities
File System Auditor assists with compliance needs for such standards as SOX, HIPAA, GLBA, FISMA, NIST/FIPS, ITIL, COBIT, PCI, 21CRF11 and more that require organizations to audit activity of users on secured systems.
A 30-day evaluation is available on the File System Auditor product homepage.

The clustering support is very cool! No need to reboot anything and the real time alerting is awesome. Plus, the ability to slim down actual reports to just what I need to see is great!
Could this product be useful on my workstations?
Would it catch file copies from my servers to the workstations and vice-versa?
FSA while functional on workstions is not architected for hundreds or thousands of individual connections to an SQL server. Additionally, the current iteration of the file system driver does not track UNC paths so being able to tell where a file came from across the network is not a part of the product.
Thank you Nick.
So this is strictly a server based solution at the moment.
