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?
ADAudit Service Pack
Hi, i had an issue when i tired to migrate ADAudit Plus from build number 4693 to build number 5000. in fact, after the installation of the service Pack, the ADAudit Server does not start and the problem is that "ADAudit Plus\jre" folder did not be replaced but it was keeped and a new folder is copied "ADAudit\jre_new". in my case the problem was resolved by only renaming the two folders: jre-->jre_old, and jre_new-->jre. i want to know if the Service Pack was applied in a production enviroment that

PGSQL file sizes
We've had AD Audit running for some time now and it seems to be using a lot of disk space. Was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? Archiving is turned on (190 days) and every option is checked. I can see a zip file named "AUDFileAuditInfo_1455258195464.zip" dated 02:00 this morning (17Mb) so this would appear to be working. Folder C:\Program Files (x86)\ManageEngine\ADAudit Plus\pgsql\data\base\ is 40GB in size with files from today all the way back to Sept 2014 The majority of

Group Modification Report Profiles
Can someone tell me if there is a maximum number of groups that can be added to a group modification Report profile. What I am wanting to do is monitor all groups that are managed by a particular system. I have the alerting and everything else set up and verified it is working. But don't want to get deep in the configuration then find out I cannot add all of the groups. I have roughly 1500 groups that I want to monitor.
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?
File Server Audit not excluding ~*
I recently installed the File Server Audit add-on....and even though the default exclusion include files with ~*, I'm still getting large numbers of files showing up in the change or deleted reports that start with ~*.

Customizing Report Data - Adding additional attributes First Name Last Name to reports
#ADAudit Plus #CustomReports I am a relatively new user to ADAudit Plus. We have a rather large AD environment. Our usernames do not have a relationship to actual people names. We would like our logon failure reports to include actual people names with the username and IP address. The attributes are in the data as they are used in other queries. Can you share the steps to add the attributes to the reports? Thanks, Rich

We have 8 domain controllers and starting on Monday they won't connect to the DC's and pull any data. is there specific ports that ADAduit Plus relies on.

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?

Use-case 31: How To Monitor Local User Management In Your Active Directory
Did you know? A domain user can bring down your network, if he/she has appropriate local user privileges on an important server or machine in your network. Local users and groups are entities that have privileges/restrictions that are limited to the local computer. When a local user logs in to his computer, the computer checks its list of users, their passwords and authenticates the user, unlike domain users. Also, their entire scope of operation is limited to that computer and not to any resources
NetApp Audit
Hi, We installed ADAudit last week, and i have some questions. Everything is OK for the Active Directory audit but for the NetApp audit we encountered some problems. Firstly, i cannot access to the information in the "New version" interface. It's not really annoying, but i don't know if it's a bug or if it is related to our implementation. Secondly, queries are very long even when we choose a shorter period. Is there a maximum volume that can handle the product? Indeed the NetApp audit generates

Creation, modification and deletion of files and folders is just a day to day chore. But, let's presume a rogue employee who has access to the server, is on file deletion spree.

inconsistencies setting up FIM on member servers
Hi we have a group of 60+ member servers behind a firewall that I am setting up for FIM and for the most part it appears to work fine but I have some issues. I set up a test where I create a fake dll file on the server then delete it and then see if the data get into ADAudit. I would say this seems to work about 70% of the time. Every time I go to the server make sure "Force audit policy subcategory" is enabled, check SACL on desired folders to be monitored is applied, verify all desired advanced

Use-case 22: How To Monitor Administrative Group Modifications In Your
A crucial aspect of IT auditing is knowing which users have administrative privileges and manage them accordingly. Users who are a part of the Domain Admin group have UNRESTRICTED access to the entire Active Directory and its resources. If this access could fall into wrong hands, the user can ram other admin users, man-handle critical resources and bring the whole domain down.

Use-case 20: How To Report On All Interactive Logons In A Workstation In Your Active Directory
Imagine a Business Process Outsourcing Unit, that has users working in shifts. All workstations are being used day in and day out by these users and no user has a definite workstation. They log on to random workstations based on availability. The interactive logon would fetch the user's profile information irrespective of the machine and loads their settings. In such scenarios, tracking user logon activity would be strenuous. An easy way to audit logon would be based on workstations. Through this,
Use-case 19: Do You Monitor Your Service Accounts In Your Active Directory
Service accounts are dedicated Active Directory accounts used to manage Windows Services. Based on the service account, the service has privileges over applications, resources and network access. A service account is created and added to a few administrative groups, following the principles of least privilege. (least privilege means giving the minimum or least of permission to the account. For example, an service that performs replication would not require access for installing softwares). A few
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
