Windows Member Server Auditing - File Integrity Monitoring Question
Hi, Question on ADAudit Plus -> Windows Member Server Auditing -> File Integrity Monitoring.

Yet to fetch event data
Hi, I've added two W2012R2 servers to my trial version as file servers. Yet to fetch event data is permanetly displayed. When I select Run now, I'm prompted to refresh the screen to see the status but the data is never fetched. Steps to troubleshoot this: Added a different file server on WS2012R2 - that fetches data immediately. Added all the shares to auditing Set the SACL via GPO Set Object Access policy via GPO Ran auditpol.exe /get /category:* to confirm I've narrowed it down to Windows Firewall
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

Suppressing Event Details From Alert
I have been customizing the body of an alert for locked out users. The contents of the alert are: Modified Time: %TIME_GENERATED% User Name: %ACCOUNT_NAME% SID: %ACCOUNT_SID% Machine Name: %CALLER_MACHINE_NAME% User Domain: %CALLER_USER_DOMAIN% Domain Controller: %SOURCE% Event Number: %EVENT_NUMBER% Yet, for some reason, when the email is sent, it is appended with "Event Details", 34 additional lines of data that I do not want in my alert email. How do I prevent this from happening?
Folder logging test
Hi All, We're finding our Folder renames and Folder deletions are not getting logged via the File Audit portion of ADAudit Plus. We're on a Windows 2008 R2 platform. Could folks create a folder, rename a folder, delete a folder then see if all these actions are logged? If you could kindly post what server OS you're running and what results you're seeing? Thanks, Brian
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?

Ability to Copy Rule Groups in Custom Audit Actions
Recently doing a lot of work with custom audit actions. Would be nice if one could copy and existing rule group and past within the same audit action. For example, On one custom audit actions i needed to it take into account the file name involved. That meant re-creating the same rule group 25 times within the same audit action and then adding an additional filter in each rule group for the file name. very tedious. Of course, if the rulr group logic could simply have been changed to AND ..... :)
Ability to change rule group Logic to AND in Custom Audit Actions
For example, on one custom audit action I needed to it take into account the file name involved. That meant re-creating the same rule group 25 times within the same audit action and then adding an additional filter in each rule group for the file name. this is because in the absence of advanced correlations, the rule group logic is always OR . Very tedious. Of course, if the rule group logic could simply have been changed to AND I could have simply created 1 additional rule group, set the rule groups

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?

I am using AD Audit Plus version 4.6.0 and build 4685 and have tried and tried and looked for a way to save an N time as a custom period. There are a ton of options in the standard dropdown, and you can save a date to date custom period. However I dont want to save Nov 25 to Dec 11 as a custom period.

Major Service Interruption
It is unfortunate that we were taken down by an unprecedented storm today and the locality of our offices are flooded, and without basic services including internet connection. Most of our staff could not resume work today. However we will look into request with the highest priority at the earliest we can and help you get you going. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for understanding.
Filters Based on Account Exclusion rather Than Inclusion
All the filters on report/alert profiles for file auditing (and other actions) are based on the inclusion of user names i.e. if username X accesses this file alert me. You can also include groups. However, often, especially with file auditing we wish to alert if any user except X access a file. Currently, do to this one must duplicate all file auditing actions and filter against the username you wish to exclude which is very cumbersome.
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.
Print server: The RPC server is unavailable - Error Code:6ba
Hi, We've set up ADAudit Plus and are trying to get a feeling for the product as a whole. AD and file server auditing seems to work fine, but when I try and add our print server (Server 2012, just like the DCs and File servers), I get the dreaded "The RPC server is unavailable - Error Code:6ba " error. Wbemtest runs fine (as found in another thread), DNS works fine, I can open the remote eventlog from the monitoring server. I've added a firewall rule to just allow all traffic from our monitoring
GPOdetails eating up disk space
We have our database on an MS SQL server, however there is almost 20 GB of the local C: on the ADaudit server being eaten up in C:\Program Files(x86)\ManageEngine\AdAudit Plus\webapps\adap\GPODetails . Can this be moved or cleaned? We do not allocate large C: drives on our servers as the databases reside elsewhere.
AD reports
We have a issue with our scheduled reports not wrapping each column, it used to do this and present the PDF in portrait mode, now it is stretching the columns and forcing to landscape. Is there a way to modify the layour for schedule reports?
Custom reports with Filter
The Custom Reports are a small step in the right direction, but we need a way to filter the results. For example, if we want a logon report for users, we can create a report that uses the Local Logon check boxes, but doesn't appear to be a way to filter this to specific users. So we end up with pages and pages and pages of logons, when some if not all of them may not even be what we want. When will this functionality be included?
