Help Desk Technician Audit Log

The Help Desk Technician Audit Log is an accessibility feature designed for auditors/administrators to take a detailed look at what occurred in the ADManager Plus system.

An Audit Log is a file/document which maintains the details of all AD Management activities like Password reset, User deletion, Creation/Modification of User accounts, etc., performed using ADManager Plus.

Audit Logs are quite handy in the sense, you can actually trace down to who did what and when and aslo detect problems / errors associated with the failed jobs. The logs are maintained in separate folders relating to the appropriate user who has performed the job. A chronological review of the AD Management activity is also made simple and feasible by this easy to use feature of ADManager Plus.

Who of the Task

The details of the person who had performed an AD Management task is also tracked in the Audit Log file. If the task was performed by the Administrator, the log gets stored in admin under technician folder. For a Help Desk Technician, the logs get stored in a folder named after the Technician and his associated domain. For example, John-ADMP means that this folder contains the logs which got generated while the Help Desk Technician, John initiated AD Management Tasks in the ADMP domain.

When of the Task
