Active Directory Auditing Software

Without proper Group Policy auditing, business-critical procedures become prone to risk. Unauthorized, accidental or malicious changes to Group Policy settings can jeopardize the security of sensitive resources, interrupt processes and services as well as lead to failed compliance audits.
Built-in Group Policy auditing tools provide very limited capabilities to track Group Policy changes and Windows auditing can only report that a Group Policy was changed. Netwrix Auditor for Active Directory allows to audit all Group Policy changes and provide detailed reports about who changed what, when and where with Before and After values for modified settings.

Unauthorized changes in Active Directory can become a headache for IT administrators managing the AD. Anytime those changes occur they have to quickly find a way to recover Active Directory configurations to the previous state without influencing user productivity or causing any major downtime.
Active Directory recovery is one of the features of Netwrix Auditor for Active Directory. The application allows restoring Active Directory configurations to the previous state without any downtime or having to restore from backup.

Ongoing review of changes made by privileged users in Active Directory helps detect insider threats, investigate security incidents and prove to the auditors that security policies are being followed.
Unlike standalone Active Directory auditing tools, Netwrix Auditor is a unified IT auditing platform that allows to audit the broadest variety of IT systems including Active Directory, Exchange, File Servers, SharePoint and other systems – all from a single console. The platform helps to perform Active Directory security audit, analyze current and past configurations and restore unwanted changes.

Reporting Active Directory changes on a regular basis with Windows native auditing is a time-consuming process. IT administrators have to manually crawl through massive amounts of log data and prepare the spreadsheets that contain change details for their managers, security teams, internal or external auditors.
Netwrix Active Directory auditing and reporting software keeps track of changes to AD configuration settings and provides reporting capabilities to significantly speed up the process of audit data collection, aggregation and delivery.

Windows Active Directory is used by organizations of all sizes and in all industries to store user identity information, secure access to company's resources, and define administrative and security policies. IT departments need to track Active Directory changes to be able to proactively detect unauthorized changes that can be the root cause of a downtime or security breach.
Active Directory change audit software from Netwrix provides an easy and straightforward way to audit Active Directory changes. It sends daily reports detailing every single change made to AD configurations. The reports list changes to AD objects, newly created and deleted GPOs, GPO link changes, changes made to audit policy, password policy, software deployment, user desktops, and all Active Directory and Group Policy settings. The data includes Who, What, and When information for all changes with previous and current values for all modified settings.
