How much time do you spend trying to determine what happened on your Exchange Server?

The free edition of Netwrix Auditor for Exchange delivers visibility into what’s happening in your Exchange environment. This free Exchange reporting tool monitors changes to mailboxes, role groups, mailbox databases and Exchange Server configuration. It also keeps you updated on all non-owner mailbox access events. Daily email reports detail every activity within the last 24 hours, including the before and after values for each modification.

See what changed
Indicates which Exchange Server objects and settings were added, modified or removed, with the current and past values for all modifications.
Monitor non-owner mailbox access
Reports about non-owner access to specified mailboxes. You can see what mailbox was accessed, when and from which workstation the access occurred, and what items the user viewed, edited or deleted.
Automate auditing
Collects and consolidates data about user activity from multiple sources and automatically reports on it by email on a daily basis.
Increase efficiency
Eliminates the need to analyze mountains of native logs by providing information about every activity in a human-readable format.
Save your IT budget
This freeware for Exchange Server relieves you from extra expenses or painful budget approvals. And it will never expire or stop working when you need it.

Without regular monitoring of what’s going on in your Exchange environment, you can’t be sure that user activity is in line with established processes and controls. Reviewing native logs for this information is anything but efficient — and now you have an alternative. This freeware for Exchange Server delivers accurate and meaningful data about every change and non-owner mailbox access event automatically, eliminating the major blind zones of Exchange.

Any inappropriate change on Exchange Server in system downtime could interrupt your business. And any non-owner mailbox access could lead to sensitive corporate data being stolen. Our Exchange Server reporting tool enables IT admins to review activity in the Exchange environment so they can identify and remediate inappropriate or malicious actions that put data security at risk.
