Objective  

This article explains how to create a summary-based custom report to view the total number of lockouts per user and clarifies the limitations of this report.

Prerequisites  

  • You must have access to the ADAudit Plus web console with permissions to create and manage custom reports.

  • Your domain controllers must be configured in ADAudit Plus, and logon event data must be collecting successfully.

Steps to follow  

  1. Navigate to the Analytics tab > Report Configuration (on the left pane) > Custom Reports, and click Create Custom Report.

  2. Provide a suitable report name and description.

  3. Set the Report Type to Summary View.

  4. Under Report Category, select AD Objects, expand User Management, and choose the Locked Out Users sub-module.

  5. Click Next.

  6. On the next screen, under Summarize information by, select the Username column.

  7. For the Summary column, select Count, and then click Save.


Validation and confirmation  

  • After saving, the report will display the total count of lockouts for each user.

  • You can use the Custom Range or Period option to filter the data for a specific time window, such as the last 24 hours.

Tips  

  • It is not currently possible to group the user lockout report by parts of a date, such as by the hour. The product's reporting feature groups by the exact timestamp down to the second, not by aggregated time intervals.

  • This functionality has been submitted to the product team as a feature request for future evaluation.
