I have 1 windows 2003 server. I am looking for software that keeps track of any registry , files, and any other vital changes to my server. I have seen many enterprise products out there but are overkill for what I need. If anybody has any ideas, it will be greatly appreciated.

Windows Server has Auditing built in. You can track file access, registery access, privilege use and logon/logoff and associated information. Its highly configurable, e.g you can log only failures (to track who is trying to do stuff they shouldnt be doing) and logs to the Event Log. its also easy to deploy acrosss your domain, using active directory security policy.

Thanx jbennet, I will look into these methods. If anybody has anymore ideas please dont hesitate to post. Thx
