Windows dev - Script for enabling audit log in Nextcloud data dir

[maxxer]

As we unfortunately ran into some mass file delete events, some triggered by client bugs and some by user, we need to track down what actions has been performed by uses on files.

Windows offers the ability to enable file operations audit log, it needs to be enabled on the computer and then specifically on single paths. The first can be done via GPO, unfortunately the latter needs to be done manually on the folder.

We need a quote for a script which can be run via GPO which retrieves user’s Nextcloud data path(s) and enables auditing.

Enable Windows audit log via GPO for Nextcloud path

Hi. We’re having some file disappearing problems by some users (read here). As this is often a user mistake we’d like to track down what happened on the client computer. I see it’s possible to enable file auditing operation in Windows computer, even via GPO, but it’s also required to enable auditing on the chosen folder. Since each user has set different path for NC data dir, do you think it’s possible to create a script for enabling it? Thanks [immagine]

Thanks
