Windows Server 2008 Search Question

Question

Sign in to vote

This might be a basic question but lets give it a shoot.

I am looking for a way to search our 2008 server using username. I would like to find files created or modified by a certain user stored on the server. I have not done extensive research only a few searches. Any help would be great.

Hi,

Thank you for the post.

When you open a folder, you could modify the file columns display. Then I could only find the column Creators but no column like lastsavedby or lastmodifyuser. So you could just find file with created user like: "creators:username" .

To some advanced query syntax, please read articles below.
