Lot's of login attempts from a single user
Hey all, We just installed AD Audit into our environment and I am loving it. What I'm curious about is why do some users for a single day have 12000+ successful login attempts? Then the next day they have 20? Is it normal for a Domain User to authenticate that many times to our domain controllers? I just find it shocking. What could cause this sort of authentication activity? Any direction or help is much appreciated! Thank you.
Audit/Monitor for Folder/file only

File and Folder Audit Summary Reports
Is there a way to get file and folder audit summary reports that are Per Server and also Per Share. We would like to get a summary of the file and folder activities (create, delete, move, copy, rename, etc.) at the server level and also at the share level. The summary view at the domain level is good but we want to narrow it down a bit so that our data owners and server owners know the activity occurring at the levels they are familiar with. Thank you.

Can you see changes to file in a certain path?

"Make as Default" option on a report does not save the selections
The "Make as Default" option should also save the selections. For example, the "Logon Activity based on DC" report has a selection box to choose the domain controllers. Each time I open this report, it always defaults to only the first DC in alphabetical order, so I have to change it to add all of my DC's. It would be more efficient if it saved my server selection as default (on this and other reports with selections). PS- I like the "Frequently Locked Out Users" cumulative report. Now I can see
Automated Reporting Customization
Hey there, So far, I have enjoyed using ADAudit Plus, however the canned reports are rather limiting. For example, the Recently Modified Users report is displaying a lot of msExchMailboxAuditLastAdminAccess logs. Although this information is helpful to log, I would not want this included in my report nor any false positives, I would prefer to only have any anomalies sent to my e-mail. How are your clients leveraging the reporting? In my case, what options are available for me to customize these reports

Server shares not listing
Hi, We have a server that has a name 15 characters long, when trying to add the server in ADAudit plus only 14 characters are showing, (e.g. "abc-filestore-01" listed as; "abc-filestore-0"), so when we try to list the shares, it comes up with an empty list. Server resolves fine in DNS and the NetBios name shows fine, server has been in service for a few years and all shares are presented to users without any issues. Anyone happen to know how we can get this working?

After server move, Java is crashing
I recently moved my ADAudit install from Server 2003 device to a Server 2012 R2 device. I installed the same version of ADAudit on the new server, then copied over the entire ADAudit folder from old to new server. Now ADAudit will start but Java soon crashes after only about 30 seconds. Below is the point in the logs that Java appears to crash: Server started in :: [97125 ms] INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/08/20 10:14:42 | INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/08/20 10:14:42 | Connect to: [ http://localhost:5020
Login failures in the thousands
We have disabled an admin account and now when I look at the reports I am getting user logon failures 60k plus. I have been through event logs and searched through everything I can think of that would show me where this user is trying to logon. I guess what im trying to ask is how do I get these failures to stop.
Problem when removing a technician
If I add an AD user directly as a technician (let's say admin role), and I then later remove that user and add either an OU or a security group WITH that user within it, I can't log on with this user. The system says it doesn't exist. The only way to be able to log in again with that user, is to re-create the user. At least, this happens in our system.
