Audit event 560 unexpectedly uses the 8.3 file name format to display the name of a deleted file in Windows 2000 (839094)

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. You configure a Microsoft Windows 2000-based computer to audit files and folders. Then, at a command prompt, you delete a file that has a long file name. However, when you open audit event 560 in Event Viewer, you notice that the Object Name field unexpectedly uses the 8.3 file name format to display the name of the deleted file.

For example, audit event 560 may resemble the following in Event Viewer:

Event Type: Success Audit
Event Source: Security
Event Category: Object Access
Event ID: 560
Date: Date
Time: Time
User: UserName
Computer: ComputerName
Description:
Object Open:
	Object Server: Security
	Object Type: File
	Object Name: Drive:\Path\Sample~1.EXE
	New Handle ID: 92
	Operation ID: {0,16979818}
	Process ID: 1960
	Primary User Name: administrator
	Primary Domain: DomanName
	Primary Logon ID: (0x0,0x19116)
	Client User Name: -
	Client Domain: -
	Client Logon ID: -
	Accesses DELETE
		ReadAttributes
	Privileges -

Note When you use Windows Explorer to delete a file that has a long file name, the Object Name field in audit event 560 displays the complete file name.
