Netwrix Auditor for Exchange
Free Exchange reporting tool that keeps you aware of Microsoft Exchange Server changes and non-owner
mailbox access events

Technical Services Manager, Eclipse Group Solutions Ltd.
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.
Awareness versus Complete Visibility
Once you start using Netwrix Auditor for Exchange, you will get full functionality for free for 20 days.
After that, you can either activate the Free Community Edition or apply a commercial license. The table
below highlights the differences between the Netwrix Auditor Community Edition free Exchange reporting tool
and the commercial version of the product.
