A tool for an in-depth auditing of Active Directory
ADAudit Plus is a valuable security tool that will help you be compliant with all the IT regulatory acts. With this tool, you can monitor user activity such as logon, file access, etc. A configurable alert system warns you of potential threats.
Anyone used ADAudit plus? We use the freeware version of netwrix ad change reporter, and it’s a very good tool that sends alerts and reports on all changes (users, groups, OU’s, etc.) I can recommend it.
XIA Configuration is a network tool which can audit Active Directory. It supports multiple domains, trusts, group policy settings and functional levels. Find out more by visiting the link.
Just finished evaluating both ADAudit Plus and NetWrix AD Change Reporter—the freeware version of the netwrix tool is pretty solid (but doesn’t provide the “who” information that we need to know about each change). Having said that, the enterprise version of the netwrix product is excellent and we just purchased it—I recommend it very highly.
