Dear Experts,
Please help if i am missing something here?

System setup:
Oracle Database version 10.2.0.4
Platform: Windows XP
Problem: DB audit records are not getting generated in the form of OS audit files in AUDIT_FILE_DEST directory on Windows even after the AUDIT_TRAIL parameter is set to OS.

Steps followed:

1. modified the values of AUDIT_TRAIL, AUDIT_SYS_OPERATIONS and AUDIT_FILE_DEST parameters by using ALTER system command.
2. restarted the  instance for these parameters to take effect.
3. verified the changes from show parameter AUDIT command.
4. Connected as sys from a different session and enabled AUDIT for ALTER USER.

Howdy, Stranger!
