Netwrix Auditor for Windows Server
A software application for auditing Windows-based server environments, monitoring user activity and enforcing your known good baseline. It is a part of the unified Netwrix Auditor visibility platform for user behavior analysis and risk mitigation in hybrid IT environments.
Maintain full control over changes to Windows Servers
"Netwrix Auditor for Windows Server is the top-notch application among Windows Server monitoring
tools out there. It allows us to track down changes and gives us peace of mind. If more companies
were auditing their IT infrastructures, they would be able to have a bird’s-eye view from a
centralized place, allowing complete oversight of any change made."

AVP, IT Manager,

Stay alerted on threat patterns
Spot threats in progress so you can respond promptly. You can set up custom alerts about any suspicious
action, such as on a change to your registry startup keys, which could indicate a ransomware
attack in action.
Keep your Windows Server configurations in check
Keep an eye on the operating system versions, antivirus status, installed programs, and file shares on
your Windows servers. Compare a server’s current state to your known good baseline and quickly bring
inappropriate configurations in line with your security policy.
Control who has access to your critical servers
Regularly review who has access to your most valuable servers through membership in local users and
groups. Pay special attention to the Local Administrators group and verify that only eligible users
are included.
Support your security investigations
Suppose a report or alert reveals that new software was installed on your Windows Server. How did it
happen, and will it negatively affect the uptime of your critical services? With the
Interactive Search
feature, you can quickly investigate how someone obtained an authority to install the software, or what
other programs were installed in the same time period.
Establish accountability of users with elevated permissions
Keep privileged users accountable by auditing their activity related to critical systems and
applications, even if they do not produce logs. Simplify your privileged user management using video
recording with integrated search and replay technology. You can also audit remote access by recording
remote desktop, Radmin and Citrix sessions, ensuring oversight of user activity
during remote connections.
Prepare Windows Server compliance reports faster
Do you have to prove to compliance auditors that specific processes and controls are (and always have
been) in place? Get access to out-of-the-box Windows Server compliance reports grouped by compliance
standard and spend less time preparing for PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX, GLBA, FISMA/NIST, CJIS, GDPR
and other audits.
Keep a complete audit trail for later review and analysis
Keep Windows Server audit data archived for more than 10 years using two-tiered (file-based + SQL
database) AuditArchive™ storage. This cost-effective storage enables easy access for security
investigations and periodic checks by auditors.
Granularly segregate access to security intelligence
Establish control over who has access to which configuration settings and who can view Netwrix Auditor’s
reports by assigning roles to individuals in accordance with their job duties. You can also simply
subscribe users to the reports they need. With role-based access control, you can ensure that only
authorized admins can perform certain auditing tasks and protect both your monitoring
processes and data.
"Our environment is very dynamic and all the changes in the systems can become confusing. Netwrix
Auditor brings order to the confusion. It helps us to uncover internal policy violations and
workflow disruptions. You can easily figure out what changes are taking place and get alerts on the
most critical ones."
