I'm looking for the report that creates the "Logon Peak Hours Usage" graph on the front page. Does anyone know which report it is? Thanks.
WARNING: ADAudit Plus only audits KERBEROS authentication events. It IGNORES NTLM events!!!
I just recently ran into an issue attempting to diagnose an account lockout for some of my users and I found ADAudit Plus registered no bad passwords for them. When manually scouring the AD security logs with EventCombMT.exe from the MS Account Lockout tools, I did find many events for these failures. The failures were NTLM authentication failures which are tracked in Windows via Event ID 4776. After a support call to ManageEngine, I was informed NTLM based events have been removed from auditing because
Use real SSL certificate for ADAudit website?
I cannot see this in the ADAudit documentation. How can a real SSL certificate be used with ADAudit instead of the self-signed one?
Need to make an alert on anytime "password never expires" is set
Anyone have this alert and can tell me what is needed? Thanks
Just thought I would share. How far back you can see event data.
If anyone is wonderirng ever, to confirm when you started receiving data on your ADAudit server, just navigate to the following path: "Program Files\ManageEngine\ADAudit Plus\logs\wrapper.log" At the top is when the ADAudit service first started. So we
Code Signing Certificate for AuditPlus version 7051

AD Group as technician in ADAudit Plus ?
Hi, ADAudit Plus 4.5.0 (Build No. 4520), AD 2008 native mode. I'm trying to add a group existing in AD as a new Technician but I can only see a list of the AD users, no groups. Does this mean that it isn't possible to add AD group to ADAudit Plus as new technician with specific role assignment (admin or role) ? Thanks, regards. Roberto.
Integrating with SIEM
Has any one integrated ADAudit Plus with SIEM tools like Arcsight ?
Firewall Ports that need to be opened between ADAudit Plus and the Domain Controller.
Hi, I have seen this posted with regards to the ADManager product but I am not sure if the same information applies to ADAudit Plus. In our deployment we have a firewall seperating the ADAudit Plus appliance and the Domain Controller. My question is: which ports need to be opened on the firewall in order for the necessary communication to take place? Thank You, Marek

Default SACL does not track permission changes to files
It seems the default SCAL only tracks permission changes to folders and not to individual files. Was this a design decision?
Do the product team review the Ideas Section?
I have some ideas up there for over 1 year. They don't seem to ever get updated by ManageEngine support or development? Whats the point in an ideas section if we see no updates on the status of ideas?
Notification when Passwords are going to expire soon?
I am currently evaluating ADAuditPlus and was wondering how I can set up a report or an alert to give us a heads up on what users' passwords are going to expire soon. It would be nice to send out an email to that user with a 2 weeks notice and a follow up with a 1 week notice, to give them a heads up to change their password soon. I see this functionality is included in ADSelfService, but there has to be a way to do this in ADAuditPlus since the password policies are all set through the AD, right?
Connect to SIEM or Big Data System?
Hey AD Audit Plus Team, any news on the integration of AD Audit events to log into some kind of SIEM or Big Data System? It was asked for often in the last years and due to higher intrest in centralized security reporting in companys i'ld love to see that feature in future releases. Or is there a timeline yet? Thanks Alex

Hello guys, before evaluating the product, i need your advice on following: i know that there are reports with states(not only changes) for Windows-based file servers, but does the product have state reports for EMC and NetApp file servers? + Does ME support DataOntap with state reports? Thank you in advance, Aleksey.
Printer Audit Reports- Some work, others don't
Good Day All, I'm experiencing an issue with the Printer Audit Reports. In a nutshell, some printers are reporting perfectly while others don't report at all. I'm assuming that ME picks up its logs from Event Viewer, in which I can track down jobs from the non-working printers. Any ideas why this is doing this?

Windows File Cluster - Exlude Share Sub-Folders
Hello: ADAudit Plus Build 4692 Feature: File Audit -> Windows File Cluster I can successfully use the Windows File Cluster wizard to add our cluster and shares. During Step 4 of the Wizard, it asks to select the Share to be included in auditing. For example, I want to include \Share1$ which I see and I can select, but I want to exclude certain sub folders. Is there any way to exclude certain sub folders, or manually type in a share name? I only see a checkbox list of share names I can select. I
Auditing Folder Creation on NetApp File Servers
I have been testing what activities are collected against NetApp filers. It appears that folder creation is not collected out of the box. Is this by design? Seems like the NetApp side is fine as there is an event 560 logged when a folder is created.
Migrated ADAudit to new server
What are the steps for migrating ADAudit to a new server? Some of the manuals for the other ManageEngine products provide these steps, but I haven't found the steps for this product.
Historical Reporting from archived data
Good Afternoon, I need to run user login reports beyond our configured Archive Event setting (we've set it to 60 Days). Can you send me any instructions, info, guidance on how to run historical reports from archived data? Thanks!
Failed Attempt To Read File / False Positive
We have a large common file share between all of our departments, and many of the folders are locked down to specific users. What I have noticed is when a user runs a search for a file/folder on that share, it generates many false positives of "Failed attempts to read files", when in reality, it was the search query attempting to read the file, and not the user themselves. Is there a mechanism inside ADAP to remedy this? I do understand why it is occurring, but it makes it look like the user
Netapp Filer Auditing
Hi guys, I have a consult about the auditing of Netapp Filers. I have a customer who have configured an ADAudit on his environment auditing a NetApp Filer, the problem is that a few days ago a folder disappeared, when we go to see what was happened on the ADAudit we don't found any alarm or any registry about what happened to that folder. We did some test, creating, modifying and deleting folders and the test was successful for this types of events. But when we did a test moving a folder to an subfolder,
Real World Audit Examples: Product Weaknesses
Having just gone through a real world audit last year and trying to use this product to produce the reports the auditors required we found it severely lacking in several areas. See below for the main issues we faced: NTLM events were not even collected by the product until the last release of 2015. This was not documented anywhere and meant that reports were effectively useless for audit as you might be missing huge amounts of logon data. In response to community outcries this was eventually added.
Where is the event cleanup option?
We recently brought up the ADAudit Plus, and was wondering the retention of the events collected on the server? Can this be modified? The instruction indicated an "event cleanup" option, but there is no where to be found. We only see an option for "Archive Events". The version and build we deployed is: Version 4.6.0 Build 4691
Windows Member Server Auditing - File Integrity Monitoring Question
Hi, Question on ADAudit Plus -> Windows Member Server Auditing -> File Integrity Monitoring. I see it monitors system files for example under System32, Program Files, etc. On the product website "https://www.manageengine.com/products/active-directory-audit/member-server-audit.html", I see it has a bullet point that states "Restricted data monitored for change: Personal Information | Financial Statements | Card Transaction Files" What does that bullet point mean exactly? Can I audit any folder on

Log User Unlocks as well as logins
Trying out ADAudit Plus and cannot seem to find a way to find user logons that include unlocking of the workstation. Our workstations lock after a period of time and we need to be able to log/track/report when this happens as well as when a user unlocks the workstation. This is especially and issue right now if someone just leaves their workstation locked overnight and only unlocks it in the morning v a full log on. Is this possible?
Configure permissions for non-domain administrator
We use ADAP Pro. ADAP account саn't have domain administrator rights. We configured permissions according to http://www.manageengine.com/products/active-directory-audit/help/index.html and http://www.manageengine.com/products/active-directory-audit/help/admin/domain-settings/authentication-for-collecting-audit-data.html But some reports don't provide information. For example, "GPO Link Changes". What additional settings need to be configured in the domain?

Inactive Users Report?
I know there is an inactive users report available through ADManagerPlus, but is there a similar report available through ADAuditPlus? We use ADAudit Plus for our scheduled reports and that would be a useful one to include. Also, is there any way to combine scheduled reports into one file?
Dozens of iexplore.exe processes running
Last night we had an issue with our SQL server cluster and I had to restart the ADaudit service this morning. When I logged into the server, I see dozens of iexplore.exe processes running. Some are x86, some are x64 (determined by the path of the executable running) and each is taking up close to 4MB of space. None appear to have a network connection active. Why is this happening and how can we stop it? I've seen this before so it seems to be some kind of bug.
Release notes?
The Release Notes for new versions used to be under the "What's new in ADaudit Plus?" link. That presented a nice, ordered list of what changed in each version. Now it leads to the forums... ???
Alert profiles - Include Link to Report Profile
Is it possible to include a hyperlink to a report profile in an email alert? The reason I ask is we have configured many alerts to go to admin users when their accounts have a high rate of failed logons against them (i.e. if they have left themselves logged on onto servers and their passwords expire). We can easily fire them an alert indicating that there had been a high password failure against their accounts. However, I would also like to include a link to the report profile so they could see where
