How can I find the name the process that modifies a specific file over a period of time and log it in some log file. The file is on some remote machine and I cannot continually run any command on that machine. I need something like running a background process that logs this information.

This tool may help. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645 Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional Microsoft MVP [Windows]
