alert on admin logon
I want to monitor when someone logs on as a domain admin but not if they login on from certain IP address. Is there a way to restrict that? Thanks.
Technician no longer
I have two technicians that are no longer visible in the Technician list after I deleted a Role that they were a member of. If I attempt to add the accounts back I receive a message that the user account already exists. I need to figure out how to get the user accounts back in the list so I can add them to a different role. Thank you.

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... ???
Missing Event ID 4625
We've found we haven't been logging Event ID 4625 so we had some assistance from support to remove that event from the 'audexcluderules' table in the database but I am no longer seeing filters for those events in Configuration | Advanced Configurations | Logon Failure Events. I am pretty certain those used to be there but aren't any more. Could someone provide the default values for the various filters necessary to properly log 4625?
Alert Profiles and %FORMAT_MESSAGE%
Can anyone explain exactly what the %FORMAT_MESSAGE% variable means in an alert profile? I can't see any mention of this in the documentation or any guide on customizing e-mail alert messages.

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
No "accessed by" or "created by" details on some (not all) files
I am running a report on a test folder with some test .txt documents and i am getting no user information next to some actions. Example... A file "document.txt" was moved from the folder i am reporting on to a sub folder. In the report next to this message i see "File '\\SHARE\FOLDER\document.txt' was created by '-'." The "accessed by" column is also blank. Some new documents created also show the message was created by '-' and no "accessed by" details also. Is this normal behavior? All other file/folder
Alert Profile Thresholds - Specific Users
Hello, Is there a way to setup an alert threshold for failed logins based on a unique user's consecutive failed logins? Right now I can only set it up based on all failed logins. I would like it to trigger only if a unique user ID failed to login X times. Thanks,
Custom Alert Messages: Duplicate Options for Selection
When customizing the alert message for an alert to include fields from the alert itself, certain options are duplicated. For example: See for example, user name is duplicated. Selecting one or the 'username' options results in the alert message not containing the user name whilst selecting another one result sin it being included! Very frustrating!
Report question - no data in custom report
Hello - may I ask hot it is possible that my custom report about files being created shows no data, while the one from the file audit reports (either files created or all file or folder changes) is showing some data. In custom I am trying to choose the same date like in file audit reports but still no luck...
Where is ADAUDIT main database located ?
Where is the ADAUDIT database (with all the fetched report) located and what kind of db it is? I assume it is running in the background, how can I connect to it to extract data without using web interface (lets say I want to connect to it through some script and fetch the data, the list of all tables etc - maybe schema is available that is used by ADAUDIT?).

Copying Report Profiles
I have 100 admin accounts that I need to create an alert on. I basically need to create an e-mail alert to send the user an e-mail when more that 10 failed logons for their admin account occurs in 30 mins. Each user has a normal account and an admin privileged account. The only way I can see to do this is to create a report profile for each user that contains all failed logon events filtered for that user. I can then create an alert profile based on that. Essentially the report profile is the same
Archiving and Restore - Effect on DB
I archive out all data after 7 days. This gets written to .csv file locally. When I wish to report on a period longer than the last 7 days I have to restore archives (which is a pain hence my request for a data warehouse for archiving). My question though is how does this affect the DB? Are the following true: When the daily arching task runs at 02:00, is all data older than 7 days removed from the DB and placed in .csv files? If so, when i do a restore and this data is added back into the DB, how
Temp Sublfolder growing
under the Auditplus installation directory there is a folder called Temp. Therein seems to lie over 200,000 logs files. Can someone answer: What are the purpose of these files? Why does the application keep them indefinitely? Can they be cleared down?
Archiving with a MS SQL Server DB
We have a large amount of audit data (1 week might result in 100 GB of live SQL data). We archive everything every 7 days. However, this seems to archive everything out to .zip files and remove it form the DB. Our IT security team regularly run reports over periods of weeks. The UI allows you to select any period back in time even if it goes past your archiving cut off of 7 days. this leads to misleading reports as the security team think there were no events for a particular user due to the report
Folder Deletion on NetApp CIFS Share Report
Is it possible to create a report showing all folders deleted on a NetApp CIFS share?
TLS Issue collecting from NetApp Filer
All of a sudden, even though the collections against my NetApp filers seems to be working and showing as 'Success' in the UI, I notice the raw event data is not present. Looking int the logs i see this message: retHash for FILER is{ERROR_CODE=12, ERROR_MESSAGE=Error while generating evt file :Connection has been shutdown: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Server chose unsupported or disabled protocol: SSLv3, ReadEvtFileTime=0, RecordNumber=475, My AuditPlus web site is using an internal CA signed
Auditing Read/Write of Large Files
Is there any way to have ADAudit send alerts out if a large file (eg >500MB) is read or written? I have a situation where people are dropping full uncompressed dvd files to our shared drives and then wonder why they won't stream over an adsl line, so I'd like an alert when a file gets written and I can go discuss alternate ways to distribute the videos. My shared drives are all on NetApp CIFS, and ADAudit works well for other monitoring like mass deletions/etc.
View SQL or arbitary Reports
I would like to be able to view the underlying SQL of an arbitrary report. Would make it easier to create custom SQL queries and understand the schema.
Moved and deleted reports
Hi all, Apologies if this seems obvious but I am relatively new to AD Audit plus. I am trying to track down what happened to a lot of files that have disappeared. When running a server based report for both files deleted and files moved I get the same results. Does this mean they have simply been deleted? The moved files report is simply because they have been moved but never actually placed elsewhere? I haven't found any records to say the files have been created elsewhere. Thanks for any help.
ADAudit plus in Real Time?

How to create custom report for specific security events related to logons
I am new to the product and have not found what I'm looking for as a predefined report. I'm looking to report on successful non-interactive logons. Event 4624 with logon type not equal to 2. Also looking for events 4648 (attempt to logon with explicit creds), 4775 (account not mapped), and 4777 (DC failed to validate creds) I have attempted to define custom reports but they all turn out empty. Can someone point me in a good direction?
ADAudit Plus monitor iSCSI on File Server
Morning I am trying to setup the File Servers in our ADAudit Plus and when I go to the server it cannot see the share. We think this is because the data share is in fact a presented iSCSI volume. Do this mean that we need to create a share on the told level of the presented drive on the file server in order to allow the software to audit it? Wayne

Reminder email after user changes password
Good afternoon, when a user in our environment changes their password, they have to log-off/on to their computer in order for all their passwords to synchronize. Many users forget to do this and it generates many Helpdesk calls. I would like to set up an email notification to be sent to a user after they change their password that they must log off/on. The notification would need to be sent to the email associated with the userid that was changed, which comes to my next question, is there a way
