The following link has the details as to how the auditing for files/folders/printers can be done:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310399

The link has instructions for Win XP professional edition, but the instructions are same for win 2003 server.
You need to remember three things:

1. The audit log appears in the 'Security Log' of the event viewer
2. Local Policies need to be modified for the same
3. Files/folders need to be enabled for auditing by changing their security settings.

Kindly revert for further queries.
