AD Audit Plus Crashing
Hi, we've been experiencing a crash in AD Audit Plus following the below error. [com.zoho.cp.Txn]|[SEVERE]|[33]: Exception while aborting connections enlisted in txn| Doing a search online has yielded no troubleshooting avenue. I've checked system and applications logs in addition to the AD Audit Plus logs and I've also checked for scheduled tasks around the same time. But nothing jumps out. Any ideas? Regards, Devin

DataEngine problem after migration to new server.
I recently migrated our AD Audit to a new server. Everything is working fine, except for the DataEngine Xnode Service. I get this message when I try to start the service and it gives me a notification when I am logged into AD Audit.
ADAudit+ issue migrating MySQL to MS SQL
I have seen this topic for other products, but not for ADAudit. Running the command prompt as admin logged into the server with the service account that has the access to the MS SQL Server database. After putting in the host name into the ADAudit Plus - DB Configuration application, I get a "Socket Time out while fetching the database instances from host", error. If I ignore this and test the connection with the database name filled out, the command prompt in the background displays a javascript

Exception while checking server status
Hi. We use ADAudit Plus 6.0.0 Build 6010. It is installed on a server that has multiple IP addresses. ADAudit is binding to a single IP address (param "bindaddress=172.16.0.44" is used in "system_properties.conf" file). Also the same ip address is used in "server.xml" file (<Connector SSLEnabled="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8" acceptCount="100" address="172.16.0.44" name="SSL" port="443" scheme="https" secure="true" .....) Everything works fine, but since I always check log files :), I saw a lot of errors
User Account Moved Alert
Hi, I am trying (unsuccessfully) to set up an alert to notify my Help Desk Manager when a network account gets moved into our Disabled User's OU regardless of any of the sub-OUs that our accounts can exist (we have like 10 User sub-OUs). Has anyone set up an alert like this or have simple steps to follow to get this going? Thanks in advance!
Report Profile
I may just be low on caffeine this morning but, I cannot figure out how to create a NEW "Report Profile" in ADAudit Plus. Instructions say to Click on Configuration Tab--> New Report Profile. However, when I click on the Configuration tab and look at the menu on the left, under Report Profiles, the only thing that exists is "View/Modify Report Profiles". There is no "New Report Profile". The only thing close is "Create Alert Profile", but that's not what I'm looking for. Anyone have any ideas?

ADAudit Plus Last User Logon per Organisational Unit
Hey guys, I wonder why it is not possible to create a last logon report specifically for a certain OU. This seems to be only possible for the Logon Activity report but the problem is, if I want this report beeing made for the last 3 months the report takes forever to create because he collects all the logons and logoffs from all users in the domain. I want a last logon report only for specific ou and I know this was possible with the admanager product. we use ADAudit Professional Build 6010 August
pgsql_old folder taking up space
Good morning, We have a folder under ManageEngine>ADAudit Plus>Patch>ManageEngine_ADAudit_Plus-5.1.0-SP-2.0.0 called pgsql_old. It is taking up a very large amount of space. I suspect this can be deleted, as it seems to be an old instance of pgsql, hence the name. Can this be deleted to clear up space?

AdAuditPlus Service run as service user.
Hi! My question is about AdAudit windows service. Is it true that if i will use service account that i have prepared for AdAuditPlus to be used for fetching logs from DCs, in AdAudit Windows service(Log on as), it will be automatically used in connection to DCs? So i will not be promoted for entering credentials in AD domain configuration section in the web console?

Excluded Accounts for Reports

Use-case 11: How To Monitor Employee Group Membership Management In The Active Directory
Groups are a great way to manage employee privileges and restrictions. Being part of certain groups allow employees to access resources in the Active Directory or deny access to some.

Group management can performed with ease by delegating it to your help desk technicians. These technicians can carry out bulk group management tasks, day-in and day-out through ADManager Plus.

Deleting users with exchange accounts in AD Manager
I have an interesting issue. When I am delete users out of AD Manager that have exchange accounts it is marking the last update in AD for that user as an exchange user. I noticed this when a ran a recently deleted user report out of AD Audit. The accounts I am deleting are showing as an exchange account instead of my username. Is this by design or do I need to not delete the exchange accounts when removing users from AD and manually go to the server to remove them. See attached image. I removed this

Analyzing Logon Failures with missing Client Information
Trying again because my first post with question still sits "Awaiting moderation" after nine days ... Our ADAuditPlus Server reports for one of our users more than 80k logon failures per day with reason "bad password". The failures occur very regularly, twice every two minutes except for a daily gap from 22:45 to 23:00. The user himself is noticing nothing out of the ordinary. All of his accesses work. Also, the account is not being locked even though we have automatic lockout configured after three
