Netwrix Auditor: Active Directory Quick-Start Guide2. PRODUCT OVERVIEWMicrosoft Active Directory change auditing has become a mission-critical activity in businessnetworks. Unauthorized changes and errors in Active Directory configuration can put yourorganization at risk introducing security breaches and compliance issues. Native ActiveDirectory auditing is often inadequate when it comes to supporting such business needs astroubleshooting, security auditing, change monitoring, and reporting, many of which aredriven by the necessity for organizations to comply with external industry and legislativerequirements.Netwrix Auditor fills this functional gap by tracking all additions, deletions, and modificationsmade to Active Directory users, groups, computers, OUs, group memberships, permissions,domain trusts, AD sites, FSMO roles, AD schema, Group Policy and Exchange objects, settingsand permissions.The product collects data on changes made to the monitored Active Directory domain andgenerates audit reports showing the before and after values for WHO changed WHAT, WHENand WHERE in a human-readable format without the overhead of resolving complicated nativeidentifiers.Netwrix offers long-term data archiving that uses a two-tiered system: Audit Archive, a local file-based storage SQL Server databaseNetwrix offers both agent-based and agentless data collection methods. The use of agents isrecommended for distributed deployments or multi-site networks due to their ability tocompress network traffic.Netwrix Auditor employs AuditAssurance , a patent-pending technology that does not havethe disadvantages of native auditing or SIEM (Security Information and Event Management)solutions that rely on a single source of audit data. The AuditAssurance technologyconsolidates audit data from multiple independent sources (event logs, configurationsnapshots, change history records, etc.), and, therefore, can detect a change even if one orseveral sources of information do not contain all of the required data (e.g. because it wasdeleted, overwritten, etc.). The AuditAssurance technology always ensures you get acomplete and concise picture of what changes take place in your monitored environment.The Netwrix Auditor: Active Directory allows to monitor and audit the following targetsystems: Active Directory Group Policy (during 20-days trial period) Exchange Servers (during 20-days trial period)This guide only covers the configuration and usage of the Netwrix Auditor for ActiveDirectory. For information on how to audit Group Policy and Exchange Server, refer toNetwrix Aditor: Group Policy Quick-Start Guide and Netwrix Auditor: Exchange Server QuickStart Guide respectively.2.1. Key Features and BenefitsNetwrix Auditor: Active Directory is a tool for automated auditing and reporting on changes tothe monitored Active Directory environment. It allows you to do the following: Monitor day-to-day administrative activities: the product captures detailedinformation on all changes made to the monitored Active Directory environment,including the information on WHO changed WHAT, WHEN and WHERE. Auditreports and real-time email notifications facilitate review of daily activities.Copyright 2013 Netwrix Corporation.

Report subscriptions allow for scheduled report generation and delivery to thespecified recipients. You can apply different report filters and select report outputformat. Snapshot reports: reports on the current or historical configuration state of yourActive Directory environment. Rollback of changes: the product supports rollback of unwanted changes, down toindividual attribute-level changes. Long-term data storage: allows for recreating the full audit trail of changes madeto the monitored Active Directory environment and provides historical reportingfor any specified period of time. Organizations can analyze any policy violationswhich occurred in the past, and maintain ongoing compliance with internal andexternal regulations.

Netwrix Auditor uses thisinformation as a benchmark to generate change reports.After you have configured a Managed Object, you can either wait for the system to run datacollection automatically, or launch it manually from Netwrix Auditor console.Procedure 3. To launch a data collection task1.In Netwrix Auditor console, expand the Managed Objects node, and select yourManaged Object.2.In the details pane, click Run.Note:Depending on the size of your monitored AD environement, creation of aninitial snapshot may take quite long.After the initial data collection task has completed, an email notification is sent to thespecified recipient(s) like in the example below:Figure 16:Initial Analysis NotificationCopyright 2013 Netwrix Corporation.
