We want to trace the access to some files on a windows server. After switching on the audit log, we got the information about file open, read, write, ... and which user was performing the action, but we didn't find a way to combine these loginfo to create, copy, move and delete actions.

Any ideas?

If you want to track the access to some files on a windows server, then I would advise you to windows event log monitoring tool to generate event log reports. You can find out by this tool which helps to gather all information for audit, logging and monitoring. See more info at: eventlogmonitoring.org
