For many organizations, Microsoft Exchange is the most critical application running in their environment. A single hour of e-mail downtime may cost millions of dollars in lost revenue, lost productivity and can even damage the organization's reputation. Auditing changes to configuration settings in an Exchange environment is critical to ensure reliable e-mail operation, security and compliance. Exchange servers, mailboxes, information stores, permissions and all other types of objects must be routinely monitored to detect any changes, both authorized and not, and the full audit trail must be maintained for compliance and security incident investigation purposes.
Netwrix Exchange Change Reporter is a Microsoft Exchange auditing solution that tracks and reports all changes made to all Exchange Server configurations and permissions. The product generates reports that show all created, deleted, and modified objects and settings. Four basic questions are answered: What changed? How was it changed? Who did it? When was it changed? MS Exchange auditing solution from Netwrix also audits who gained access to mailboxes of other users and reports who accessed what mailboxes, what items inside mailboxes and what was done.
