How to display an attention alert for non-configured privileged domain users in ADAudit Plus

Objective   

To enable the alert banner in ADAudit Plus that notifies administrators when a configured domain does not have a domain admin or privileged domain account specified. This ensures you are reminded to configure the credentials required for event collection, agent installation, scheduled tasks, and all other application operations.

Prerequisites 

  • You must have administrative access or operator role in ADAudit Plus to update the domain credentials in the ADAudit Plus web console.

 Steps to follow 

  1. Log in to the ADAudit Plus web console.
  2. Go to the Admin tab, and navigate to Configuration in the left navigation pane.
  3. Select Alert/Report Settings.

  4. Enable Show Privileged Domain User Alert.

  5. Click Save Changes to apply the setting.

Note:
Domain credentials are critically important because they are used by ADAudit Plus for collecting event logs, installing agents, running schedules, and performing all core operations of the application.

 Validation and confirmation 

  • If any configured domain does not have a domain admin or privileged domain account set up, a banner notification will prompt you to update the domain credentials.
  • Confirm that the banner appears by reviewing the domain settings for any non-configured credentials. 

 Tips 

  • Always configure a domain admin or a privileged account immediately after adding a new domain to avoid disruptions in data collection and management activities.

  • Periodically review and update domain credentials to ensure they remain valid and have necessary permissions.
