Objective   

To configure or update the domain credentials in ADAudit Plus so the application can use the specified account for event collection, agent installation, scheduled tasks, and all other operational activities.

 Prerequisites 

• You must have administrative access to the ADAudit Plus web console.

• You must have a valid Domain Admin or service account with sufficient privileges.

 Steps to follow 

1. Log in to the ADAudit Plus web console.
   
2. In the top right corner of the console, click Domain Settings.

3. Find the domain for which you want to configure the Domain Admin or service account.

4. Click the Domain name, then choose Modify Credentials from the drop-down menu.

5. In the pop-up window, enter the Domain User Name and Password.

6. Click Ok to save the credentials.
   

Once the account is updated, ADAudit Plus will immediately begin using the new credentials for event collection, agent deployment, scheduled operations, and all other application activities.

 Validation and confirmation 

• Verify that no credential errors appear in the domain settings after updating.
  
• Check the event collection status to ensure logs are being collected without interruption.

• Confirm that new agents and scheduled tasks operate as expected.
  

 Tips 

• Always use a dedicated service account with the minimum required permissions instead of a personal admin account.

• Update credentials promptly if the password changes or the account expires to avoid data collection issues.

• Document account details securely for future reference and auditing purposes.
