Server 2003 administrative tasks related

Why does enable audit on SINGLE user FOLDER generate SO many log entries including ones that related to system files ?

Windows 2003 server file access audit
That is normal, unfortuante but normal.  When a machine opens a file there may be several hooks into the file to handle different things.  Each one of these is recorded in the audit log.

Only on Server 2008 or later

File Auditing Server 2008 R2
I think the issue could be that he is using the basic "Local Policies \ Audit Policy -> Audit Object Access" settings. If you, instead, configure the "Advanced Audit Policy Configuration \ System Audit Policies \ Object Access -> Audit Files System OR Audit File Share" you might have better luck. I had the same issue and then I realized that the later is the better option and it seems to work. Don't configure both, just the "Advanced Audit Policy Configuration"
