ADAudit Plus

What is ADAudit Plus ?

ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is a Web Based Active Directory Change Auditing and Reporting solution to help audit and track all changes in Windows Active Directory. ADAudit Plus can be configured to report and alert on changes that have happened in the Active Directory and provides detailed information who made the change when and from where. Active Directory changes like creation, deletion, modification on Users, Computers, Groups, Domain Policies are audited and reported.

Every change in Active Directory is continuously logged in the event viewer of the Active Directory Domain Controllers(DCs). The data logged requires expertise to understand, as it involves - understanding specific event numbers and their correlation to a change action. Further it is difficult for any user to use the available data productively, considering the volume of data available. ADAudit Plus extracts the event viewer data and reproduces them in the form of meaningful, filtered and interpretable information , easily understandable to a normal user.

Audit events are automatically archived and stored at user defined locations.
