Unable to use the free evaluation for 25 workstations
I want to test a workstation, but my evaluation has long expired (years ago). Currently it says "After the Evaluation period, you need to purchase the 'Workstation' add-on license. Free 25 workstations audit in the Free Edition." However, when I try to enable 1 workstation, I get this message: "The evaluation period for this feature has ended, please contact "support@adauditplus.com" for extension or more details." Can someone clarify whether I can use the 25 workstations after the eval? Thanks
Feature request: Alert for a same source user
Currently, when we configure an alert in ADAP, we have the option to configure 'Threshold based alerts'. That way we can set a number of events within a given time period so that the alert is triggered. It would be useful if you had the option 'from the same source user'. In this way, we could generate an alert if the same user made changes to several files in a short period of time, for example (in this way we would even know if it was a ransomware attack).

Lockout Analyzer - OWA and ActiveSync Tab

Scheduled fetch interval
I recently added a number of additional domains to my AD Audit installation bringing my total to 6. Most are working fine, however on 2 domains I am getting RPC 6ba failures on some DC's. Both of the affected domains are root domains with very little activity on them, as such I have 1 DC set to real-time collection and the remaining DC's set to scheduled fetch every 2 hours. The DC's set to scheduled fetch are constantly reporting RPC 6ba errors. If I set the failing DC's to real-time collection

Two alerts for user deletion - a bug?
Hi. The Deleted Users alert records every deletion twice - once as deletion, once as modification. Enabling email notification for this alert sends 2 emails each time a user is deleted, one for each record, which is quite annoying. See below: Any way of preventing it from alerting twice? Thanks in advance

Let us celebrate our everyday heroes!
July 28, 2017, is the SysAdmin appreciation day. Let us recognize and thank our IT warriors for their hard work and dedication. Let’s face it. If not for our SysAdmins we wouldn't be able to get through a single business day with zero hiccups. Most of the times, we hardly spare a minute to say thanks for all that we get done by our SysAdmins. Now is our chance to thank them for the year round work they do. To all the SysAdmins out there, we, at ManageEngine, would like to truly thank you for
Multiple AD accounts showing when adding
We run in a VMware virtual environment. When I go into ADaudit to add newly created VMs, there are often 5-15 with the exact same name, and I end up having to add all of them, which goes over our license. So then I have to wait until the first successful poll, and go back in and delete the ones that failed. There has to be a better way to do this.

AD Audit Port Conflict
Can I change the port that AD Audit is running on as McAfee was installed on the WIndows server and is conflicting with 8081. Starting ADAudit Plus Client Open a Javascript enabled Web Browser.

How do I use "advanced correlations"
I want to set up a custom alert for 3 events, is that possible with the advanced correlation feature? For example I currently have email alerts for: User account created User account modified User account enabled When I create a new account, I get all three alerts. However, I only want to get one alert. So I created an advanced configuration that has all three event IDs for the previously mentioned alerts. Then under advanced correlations, I set to 10 seconds and matching the same domain. I created

HTTP Security Header Not Detected Security Vulnerability
Greetings, We have an in-house scanner that came back with "HTTP Security Header Not Detected" vulnerability on our ADAudit server. I need to set the necessary headers on the httpd.conf file (see here for examples https://geekflare.com/http-header-implementation/) but can't seem to find it. Is it renamed to something different? Is there any issue with making changes to this file (will it cause any issues with the ADAudit product)? Thanks, Thomas

Is ADAudit able to gather logs from Macs managed through Centrify
Does anyone know or have any experience using Centrify for Mac management. It allows Macs to be managed by Active Directory. They get computer objects in AD, have their own group policies, and have Kerberos ticketing capabilities. Would ADAudit be able to add these devices and pull logs from them (assuming that you can enable auditing and get the event IDs to match)?

Firewall Ports that need to be opened between ADAudit Plus and the Domain Controller.
Hi, I have seen this posted with regards to the ADManager product but I am not sure if the same information applies to ADAudit Plus. In our deployment we have a firewall seperating the ADAudit Plus appliance and the Domain Controller. My question is: which ports need to be opened on the firewall in order for the necessary communication to take place? Thank You, Marek
Report showing User vs Screensaver Initiated Lockouts
I work in medical, so our staff should always be locking their machines. Is there a way to have a report show when user has left the machine unattended and the screensaver has locked the computer? The User Idle Time under Local Logon/Logoff reports seems to come close but appears to show some confusing information, see attached. Are all Security Event 4800 listed as [LOCK] including the screensaver initiated events and then paired with the following [UNLOCK] event? And then all [SCREENSAVER] events
Gateway server
Hi. I want to implement ADAudit Plus in a multiple forest environment. The forests are separated by firewalls, and opening the required ports between the DCs of every forest to a single server is not possible. Is there a way to implement a gateway per forest/vlan to collect the data and pass it through (point-to-point) to a central ADAudit server? Thanks in advance
