File Server Auditing

Hello. We use Windows 2003 Server Std Ed. as a file server and it keeps running out of space. Like the other day, the free space on the server is 50+GB, then just before I pack up and go home, our monitoring software alerted me about the disk space for that file server is almost full. I checked it and sure enough, the free space has gone down to 2.3GB! I need some way to know who's dumping massive amounts of data into my file server. Is there a tool you can recommend to do this? I also need something that will tell me who's deleting file/s/folder/s from the file server. Thanks in advanced!

If it is THAT much it should be pretty easy to find out what dir is that large. Then just check the attruibutes

The fileserver has 98 shared folders. I could do it manually but it would be a big waste of time. I already tried it on the first 20 folders but it's too time consuming. And what if it's not located in just 1 folder?
But anyway, the person/s who put it there deleted it already because the free space is back to normal. I just need a tool to audit the server space so that I'll know who is doing it.
