I'm using PowerShell to add users to auditing for folders in Windows 10. I'm using this code to set "EVERYONE" for Auditing. But I need to do special rules for fail and special rules for Success and Fail, so I need it to save in 2 different lines. - like this picture:
This is the code I'm using:
$Folders = "C:\windows\system32\config"
Foreach ($Folder in $Folders) {
Write-Host "" # Empty line
Write-Host "Applying Auditing for folder", $Folder
Write-Host "" # Empty line
$ACL = Get-Acl $Folder
# Set Auditing for Success event for above Folders for EVeryone group
$PermAudited = "CreateFiles"
$AccessRule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAuditRule("Everyone", $PermAudited, "Failure")
$ACL.SetAuditRule($AccessRule)
# Set Auditing for Success event for Top folder
Write-Host $Folder, "for auditing Success event"
$ACL | Set-Acl $Folder
}
You can Specify those rules using the System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemRights
enum, Check the available rules like this:
[enum]::GetNames([System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemRights])
Basically you need to take a look on one of the Constructors for the FileSystemAuditRule to understand how you need to set it, for your needs I think this is the right one:
FileSystemAuditRule(
string identity,
FileSystemRights fileSystemRights,
AuditFlags flags
)
So, you need to set Rights
and AuditFlags
, based on your example it should be something like this:
$Rights = "ReadAndExecute","Modify"
$Flags = "Failure"
$AccessRights = [System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemRights]$Rights
$AuditFlags = [System.Security.AccessControl.AuditFlags]$Flags
Then Set the ACL like this:
$ACL = Get-Acl $Folder
$AccessRule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAuditRule("Everyone",$AccessRights, $AuditFlags)
$ACL.SetAuditRule($AccessRule)
Set-Acl -Path $Folder -AclObject $ACL
