Using AUDITCON for Volume Auditing

A NetWare^® network typically has multiple servers, and each server can have multiple volumes.

Each physical volume in the network is represented by a Volume object in the Directory tree. You can use several NetWare utilities (including AUDITCON) to search the tree for Volume objects.

Although the Volume object is listed in the global Directory tree, the volume resources are associated with the specific server that manages that volume. To audit a volume, you must

• Identify the server the volume resides on
• Log in or authenticate to that server (if you have a drive mapped to the volume you want to audit, you are already authenticated to the server)

As described in Controlling Access to Online Audit Data, the server provides two mechanisms for controlling access to audit trails:

• Assigning NDS^® rights on the Audit File object and its object properties
• Assigning a password to the audit trail after selecting an audit configuration

The following topics are explained in this chapter.

• Accessing a Volume Audit Trail
• Displaying Volume Audit Status
• Enabling Volume Auditing
• Changing a Volume Audit Configuration
• Generating Volume Audit Reports
• Generating Reports from Offline Audit Files
• Volume Audit File Maintenance
• Resolving Volume Audit Problems
