Introduction
This file system watcher allows you to monitor all file system activity on a target server. This is particularly useful when you are working with an architecture that requires complex configuration modifications. By deploying this file system watcher you can keep a history of what files are created, modified and deleted and when these events occurred. You can also determine if any automated build processes are occurring on the target machine by recognizing regular binary drops, etc.

Step 3
Remote-Desktop into target server. On Windows 2000: Start->Programs-> Accessories->Communications->Terminal Service Client
Step 4
Create directory structure:
C:\SimpleSolutions\_fso_lg\ on target server
Step 5
Install
\setupFileSysWatch\Debug\Setup.exe on target server
Step 6
At command prompt on target server type "net start filesyswatch"
Step 7
Periodically look at log file in
