NetWrix Active Directory Change Reporter

Active Directory administrators must be especially vigilant to changes to critical objects. Damaging changes made to Active Directory often results in hours of frantic effort and administrator heroics. To understand and undo the damage requires multiple tools and resources to expand visibility into who made the changes, what changes were made and prior and current values. In the time of crisis, this is not enough or worse, the information is simply inaccessible or hidden in pages of cryptic event log data.

Monitoring of changes and rapid restoration of key services provided by the Active Directory is pivotal in both minimizing and preventing end user disruption. Effective Active Directory change control will also avoid both numerous emails from unhappy users and the undoing of valid changes as administrators scramble to fix the problem.

Having an efficient Active Directory auditing tool to quickly and easily reverse unwanted or unauthorized modifications helps save time and improves overall security while avoiding unnecessary system downtime and lost productivity. Active Directory Change Reporter includes a change rollback capability called the Active Directory Object Restore Wizard that facilitates quick and streamlined change control over objects and all object attributes in Active Directory.

The Active Directory Object Restore Wizard delivers all the functionality needed to quickly recover from malicious or ill-advised changes and does not have the limitations of the native Active Directory Recycle Bin (on Windows Server 2008) and Active Directory tombstone (on previous versions of Windows).

The accidental deletion of an Organizational Units (OU) or poor modification of security group membership can wreak serious havoc in any organization. Since everything is tied to Active Directory, protecting it with an effective object restore feature will prove invaluable the first time it is used. Proactive change rollback prevents unplanned outages and reduces security risks making the Active Directory Object Restore Wizard a key benefit to the Active Directory Change Reporter.
