Windows server 2016 file share

Hi ,

I was just looking for the way to check when (particularly date ) file share has been created for any folder in any drive in windows server 2016.

Could anyone please help me out?

Thanks

Prasad

Thanks DSPatrick.

But here it is not about folder creation date , it is about file or folder share creation date

You'll need to turn on some auditing for that.

Hi there,

Yes, you can by enabling the file share audit.

You can also run the run forfiles or dir /s commands to know time & date of share folder creation.

Hope this answers all your queries, if not please do repost back.
