No Agent installation. Works as a desktop application connecting to your domain controllers. Installation and configuring the tool takes just a few minutes. Track and audit all changes made to Active Directory, across your enterprise. Selectively track changes on specific OUs or containers. Selectively track what changed (the old and the new values) on objects and their properties without using Active Directory’s native auditing capabilities. Helps you track changes with almost no additional load on the domain controllers. Only incremental Change data is collected. Capture Audit records from Event logs by using native Active Directory auditing and combine them with the tool to produce reports on who made the change and when the change occurred. Provides a comprehensive solution for auditing changes to your Active Directory without investing in additional tools. Create and maintain a Change History of all changes in a SQL database and optionally, store them along with Security Event log Audit records. Helps you store several years of Change data for compliance and regulation purposes. Track different types of changes such as newly Created data, Modified data and Deleted data. Track Old and New values for both single and multi-valued attributes. Notify different users of changes. Helps you to be aware of critical changes straight from your mail box. Search your entire Change History for Created, Deleted and Modified data on specific OUs or containers. Search for specific attributes that changed within a time period. Schedule your incremental change data collection to any desired frequency (for example, once every day or once every 8 hours). Schedule your reports for immediate email notification as soon as changes are detected. Create and maintain an Events History of all configured event IDs with Security Event log Audit records in a SQL database. Helps you store several years of events data for compliance and regulation purposes. Search your entire Events History for date range, event IDs and domains. Create and maintain Events History of all the Event ID(s) for AD object changes, User logon/logoff activities, Password changes and Terminal Services activities with Security Event log data in a SQL data base. Helps you to store several year's worth of Events data for compliance and regulation purposes. Generate your Events Reports for the specified date range, domains, change type, category and filter criteria.
Active Directory audit events are stored in Security event logs in domain controllers. The number of events generated generally depends on the number of audited objects and the SACLs set on the objects. Event logs grow in size very quickly over a period of time and require constant cleanup and backup. Event log data is not replicated across domain controllers and hence it is necessary to gather event log data from all the domain controllers in order to get all the audited events archived in one place. Enabling audit always produces some load on the domain controllers and hence auditing must be restricted to the most critical and essential objects in your Active Directory. However, auditing critical objects do give you the benefit of accurate and detailed data in real time (who accessed what and when). If auditing is carefully done on select objects for Access as well as Changes, it can be really useful to track down security issues in your Active Directory. But, gathering this data from all the domain controllers will require additional tools. If you enable audit, you must be clear on what to audit keeping in mind the security needs of your organization. You must not use auditing as a means to track down all accesses and changes to your Active Directory. Otherwise, you will end up with plenty of noise in your Security event logs and the size of your logs grow very quickly. This also places a significant load on your Domain controllers thereby affecting performance. Restricting your log size may help, but will require constant back up of your logs to prevent loss of data. Active Directory Change Tracker tracks all changes to your AD without depending on the native audit capabilities of AD. You will need native auditing only if you need to find out who made the change and the most accurate time the change happened. You can combine native auditing with Active Directory Change Tracker to report this information and keep this archived in the tool’s Change History database. In a nutshell, enable your AD auditing for critical changes in your AD and use Active Directory Change Tracker to scan your security event logs in all your domain controllers to extract detailed information on each changes made, including who made the change along with the most accurate time of change. If you are interested to track only what changed along with the new and old values, then you don’t have to enable AD auditing. You can simply rely on Active Directory Change Tracker to track all your changes.
