In Active Directory Users and Computers right click the folder that holds that computer (by default the computers folder, but you can't apply a group policy to the computers folder without some playing with ADSIEdit, however you can move the said computer to a differnt OU, or you could just change the domains policy), choose properties and then the Group Policy tab, click Edit, Add, or New and then configure the Computer Configurations > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Audit Policy. After this has propegated to the Workstation (which you can force by doing SECEDIT /REFRESHPOLICY MACHINE_POLICY /ENFORCE from a command line on win2k machine or gpupdate on a windows 2003 server) you can right click the folders you want to audit and choose Secuirty > Advanced > Auditing to audit.
