What is Active Directory reporting?

Active Directory reporting refers to the process of generating detailed insights into the objects and activities within your Active Directory environment, such as users, groups, computers, GPOs, logon patterns, permissions, and more. With the right AD reporting tool like ADManager Plus, IT administrators can track changes and user activity, ensure compliance, and maintain the overall health and security of the directory, without writing complex PowerShell scripts.

How do I schedule automated Active Directory report delivery?

ADManager Plus includes built-in scheduling capabilities. You can set up automated report generation on daily, weekly, monthly, or custom schedules. Reports can be automatically emailed to stakeholders in desired formats.

Can I customize my Active Directory reports?

Yes, ADManager Plus allows complete customization of reports. You can modify existing reports, create custom reports from scratch, set filtering criteria, and more.

Can ADManager Plus help with Active Directory health checks?

Yes, ADManager Plus provides several reports crucial for Active Directory health checks. These include reports on domain controller replication status, GPO changes, and more. By regularly reviewing these reports, admins can proactively identify potential issues, ensure optimal Active Directory performance, and maintain a clean and efficient environment.

Windows Active Directory reporting tool

The ADManager Plus Active Directory (AD) reporting tool offers administrators all the essential information they need about their AD infrastructure and objects.

This web-based AD reporting tool's report library contains over 200 out-of-the-box Active Directory reports. These reports fetch vital data such as users' real last logon times, inactive AD users, group members, including nested group members, NTFS permissions, recently created, modified, or deleted user accounts, distribution lists, security groups and their members, and GPOs.

Unlike conventional Microsoft tools and complicated PowerShell scripts, ADManager Plus enables you to easily generate AD reports for users, distribution lists, security groups, computers, and contacts, with no programming necessary.

FAQs

Active Directory stores information about the entities in your network and is quite sensitive to changes. It's important to keep an eye on your Active Directory at all times to ensure that it is up to date with information and there are no potential loopholes in it. Active Directory reporting helps you gain visibility into your AD structure, configured permissions, group memberships, group policies, and more.

With the right AD reporting tool like ADManager Plus, IT administrators can track changes and user activity, ensure compliance, and maintain the overall health and security of the directory, without writing complex PowerShell scripts.

ADManager Plus comes with built-in reports that can be generated at the click of a button. These reports are comprehensive and help administrators understand what's happening in their Active Directory. They can be generated and exported in formats like CSV, PDF, and more, and can be scheduled and emailed to stakeholders.

ADManager Plus' dashboard provides a holistic view of your Active Directory health and can be customised with widgets and reports of your choice. Apart from the over 200 reports, you can also customise and build reports to suit your organisation's policies.

Your Active Directory health has to be regularly checked to prevent downtime and to optimise performance. The most popular way of checking your Active Directory health, involves a PowerShell command called DCDiag, which screens your domain controllers (DCs) for problems, since DCs are the backbone of your AD network. It screens your DCs for replication issues, connectivity issues, and more and provides an overview of the health of your DCs.

AD health can also be checked using the various reports in ADManager Plus. One such report is the DC Replication Status report, which displays the replication status of all your DCs, troubleshoots replication errors, and provides remediation measures. In addition to this, replication can be forced directly from these reports at the click of a button. Learn more about this report.
