# Auditing

With MailStore Server, selected events can be written into the Windows event log allowing you to track the activities of both administrators and users. This enables a company's compliance officer, for example, to oversee compliance with legal and operational regulations.

## **Changing the Auditing Settings** 

To change the auditing settings, please proceed as follows:

- Start MailStore Client as MailStore administrator (admin).
- Click on *Administrative Tools* > *Compliance* and then on *Auditing*.
- From the list, select the event whose auditing status you would like to change.
- Change the auditing status by clicking the *Enable* or *Disable* buttons located beneath the list of events.

<table border="1" id="bkmrk-the-event-compliance" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 100%;">The event *ComplianceChangeSettings*, which protocols changes of the settings under *Compliance General*, cannot be disabled.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Please note that some events may generate a large number of entries in the Windows event log. Only enable such events if you are sure that you need the information.
