    • Log in to the ADAudit Plus web console.

    • Navigate to Admin > Configuration > Alert/Report Settings.

    • Enable the Show detailed permission changes for NAS devices check box .

    • Save the settings and check the report again for updated events.

  1. Ensure user has sufficient access in EMC Isilon

    • Log in to the Isilon Cluster UI (OneFS console).

    • Go to Protocols > SMB Shares.

    • Edit the configured SMB share used for auditing.

    • Under the Members tab:

      • Add the domain user configured in ADAudit Plus > Domain Settings.
