QUESTION POSED ON: 27 March 2006
Two computers' files were deleted remotely by another computer. How can we track down the source computer that logged into these two computer and deleted the files?

>
I'm not sure which version(s) of Windows you're running, but if you have security and system event logging enabled to track logins, network connections, etc. that may be your only source to track things down. See this Microsoft article for details on event logging. Also, consider any VPN, firewall, and router logs that may have recorded such events. Good luck in finding the perpetrator!
