20 minutes is too long. I could walk away, take a dump, play one level of Angry Bird, buy a drink at vending machine, and come back within 20 minutes.
Yeah... While you are away, I could install evil.bat (which would play fart sounds every two minutes), screenshot your screen, hide the desktop, and flip the image upside down.... Too easy.

Oh, lordy... I bet we're going to be seeing a whole rash of these over on SW now, ha ha.
One thing I have noticed is that people who are Windows Admins -- that is the ones that grew up using Windows, and never dabbled with anything else don't tend to look for the overall best tool for what they want to do. They start from their default of using Windows and go from there.
I grew up being taught to always look for a better or different way of doing things. So when beginning a project, I look at the end goal, and then start searching for the best way to do the project, and learn what I need to learn to make the project a win. If that means building it around Windows, that's fine. If that means building it around Linux, that's fine too...

DONE!!!! ESXi host replaced and ready to migrate VM's onto it
Now to fire up the old host and see how much it'll cost to up the RAM andreuse it for my Linux serversXenServer and test VM's
Fixed that for you. 
The setup you are describing falls under the category of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

Trying to get my wife and daughter to make a decision about food. It's horrible. I can't stand the continuous lack of willingness to just discuss simple decisions.
That does it... I'm opning a new food joint. I'm going to call it "I Don't Know Diner"... Right across the road will be "I Don't Care Cafe"

Beside This kind of Auditing.. is there any other way to audit a folder using third party application? I tested it out and it generated way too many event logs.
If you only need it to run for a few days, then this should be fine...
I don't know of any other utilities that will work for this.
He wants to run it for months.. or forever. Not much of an audit.. more like report. He wants to know EVERYTHING going on in the folder. I just don't know how to put the result into a report at this amount.
Well that is generally just silly, but if that is what he wants... then just give it to him. What's the issue?
He's the kind of guy that ask a question and expect an answer. Like who move this file? He wants a name. without timeframe I can be digging through hundreds of logs.
This is the way to do that. You need to just find a good place to store all of the logs. I would explain to him that you need a time-span for his expectations for seeing into the past. I wouldn't run this forever but if you get an idea of his expectations you can prepare for it.
Well you store it in your logging system, of course, like you always should.
From his explanation It would seem like it's infinite logs in which case I would move them onto a file server or something to be referenced later--unless you have a better idea, which very well may be the case
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the Windows Event Logs rolling logs? They collect until the log files reach X amount of space and then clean out old records?
By default, yes. But you should not have your logs remaining local, you send it to your logging system and set retention there.
COUGH ELK Server COUGH

David Attenborough voice "What we are witnessing here is an untamed User in it's natural habitat. The keeper has to be careful to not use too many big words, or technical language, or else the user might get spooked and break everything. They are simple creatures, and have to be dealt with carefully, so as to avoid any further issues."
If you want to make it angry, just poke it with a stick. It is important that you show the untamed User who is boss.

Wait when did they become $90? I paid $69.99
I'm quoting the price straight from their site, not Amazon... so it may still be a good deal on Amazon too.
I did however, install the 2.0 beta on an old Laptop this morning... Sadly, right now, it appears you have to have Windows installed in order to get the Beta to install to HD.
But my laptop booted it up just fine. It doesn't come with Google Play in the PC version, but I found an installer for it... going to try it tonight.

With the custom RAIM 6, you get 6 sandwiches with two slices of cheese.
Edit: RAIM = Reundant Array of inexpensive meats
Make sure you actually edit those environment variables... I forgot to do that, and the Web site would work fine, but the mobile client wouldn't work at all.... probably because it was trying to connect to the LAB url that was in the original script.

slack
We just adopted it. its how 90% of my team's communication is done. Its good for teams, less good for 20K users.
/giphy is the greatest integration ever.
Looks like that is a searchable GIF database... if so, haha why is that the greatest integration? Are you using it for funny office GIFs, or something that is pertinent to business?
That is the Slack equivalent of our emoticons.... which, sadly, are still missing! /cry

Flamingos are more effective.
Flamingos are better wielded as something more akin to a baseball bat, or a Clue by four.

Same here. Campus has been dead quiet today.
Exams at our campus, students need to chill out. Bathrooms are full of puke.
I'm quite sure I don't want to use a translator for "puke"...
Of course you do! Nothing helps a Friday go by faster than learning yet another way to say fun things!
Thanks, I don't know how I could have survived for so long without knowing that word...
ROFL. Nothing like increasing one's knowledge.
