    I understand that we need to use the Auditpol.exe command to enable Advanced Audit on Server 2008.  When does this command need to run? Also, I am not clear on all of the switches and their usage, specifically subcategory.  Please let me know what assistance you can offer.  Thank you.

    This is a scripting forum.  FOr general user questions you need to post in teh Windows 2008 forum or in teh Diretory Services forum.  You can also look it up in the help system on the server.


    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I had already posted in the Partner Windows 2008 forums, and they recommended I post here.  I need to create a script to enable the advanced audit policy for a Windows 2008 server.

    Sure, we might be able to help you with a script, if you need a script to enable Advanced Audit on multiple servers.
    However the switches for the AuditPol.exe and their usage, must be within the knowledge of the Windows 2008 or AD Guys
    I can only direct you to at post by Microsoft, where you can read about using GPO and AuditPol.exe:

    You can look here, for someone who have enabled Advanced Audit on multiple servers, via a batch script and PSExec:
