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

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?

Issue with Filter comparisons in Custom reports
Just highlighting what we see as a major problem with the filtering logic in custom reports. Consider the following filters: or You would expect these filters to return the same data. In fact, the first filter will return no data. The reason is that if using MSSQL DB, the code does not handle the 'Equals' operator correctly resulting in a SQL query that returns no data. Again, this really should be caught during testing phases and appears to be in the product for some time resulting in hundreds of
Export list of workstations
Is there a way to export out a list of the workstations that I am currently monitoring? Either through the gui somehow or possibly in the database? I want to be able to compare what I have in the application to active computer accounts in AD.
Auditing Folder Renames on NetApp File Servers
I have been testing what activities are collected against NetApp filers. It appears that folder renames are not collected out of the box. File renames are by the file audit action 'File Move (or) Rename - NetApp'. Is this by design?
Folder Permissions reports Permissions Columns Emtpy
If I run the report 'Folder Permission Changes' it lists folders that apparently have had their permissions changed on my NetApp filers. However, the columns New Permission Original Permission Permission Modified Are all empty or display '-'. What use is this?

Windows Member Server Auditing - Web Files Monitoring on D: Drive
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
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.
Archiving
Hi, The archiving doesn’t work. I have two server, one for ADAudit Plus and one for MS SQL. The Archive Folder path (D:\Archive\ADAudit Plus) is on ADAudit Plus Server. When I save the configuration, ADAudit Plus say “Successfully Saved Settings”. When I start with “Run now”, I become the message “Archiving processed data is started”. But the Archive Folder remains empty. How I must configure the Archive Events? Thanks

All changes made by a particular user
Hi, Is there a way to create a report that lists all changes/access by a particular user? I want to see all AD user/group/gpo etc as well as file access and process creation/termination. Basically a search across all logs gathered from the entire organisation that has this particular user name present. Is it doable?
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!
removing workstations and member servers
Dumb question, I know. If we remove workstations and members servers from ADaudit plus, does it just remove it from ADaudit plus and not Active Directory? I have some reservations about selecting delete when dealing with software tied to active directory.
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.
Password Reset Notification
Does AD Audit allow the configuration of AD account password reset notifications? Seems like it would definitely do this, however I cannot seem to find it. Can this be accomplished with this product?
Report - Files that HAVE NOT BEEN read within a certain period of time
Is there a report where I can specify files that have not been read within 6 months? I found the "Successful File Read Access" report but I'm looking for the opposite. We are trying to keep our department shares cleaned up so this report would be helpful.
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

Charts within custom reports

Enabled/created user report
If I make a custom report with created and enabled users, it shows that the user is both created and enabled at the same time. I know that creating a user should make them enabled, but it is unnecessary to show in the report. Is there a way to show created and enabled users but only when they are enabled by a manager? Thanks, Jim
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?
