Active Directory audit and report software features

Active Directory configuration report

Configure domain controller connections, SQL server settings, data collection settings, and email notification settings using a wizard.

Active Directory change report by date and time

Reports display the list of available timestamps from the change history, starting with the most recent timestamp. Timestamps are organized neatly into the day, month, and year categories. Report on the most recent changes or changes that occurred between two time periods (for example, all changes that occurred last month).

Active Directory Event Report

Event reporting is a powerful feature that allows the user to report event data for changes to AD objects (created, modified, and deleted objects), user logon/logoff activities, password changes, and terminal services activities (user disconnected and reconnected to the session). This feature is developed by the ADCT Listener Service application.

A powerful free text search filter lets you generate keyword-based event reports.

Alerts changes AD in real time

Real-time email alerts powered by the Multitasking Background Listener (ADCT Listener Service). Enables notification of a change event in the domain controller's security event log in real time.

Quick data collection and storage of change events using asynchronous and multithreaded data collection from multiple domain controllers.

Search for ad changes using filters

The powerful search tool allows you to select the time period, the type of change (Created, Deleted, and Modified). A powerful free text search filter allows you to extract changes based on keywords. For example, extract all changes made to a particular user in The Month of January.

Search for AD events based on event ID

The powerful search tool allows you to select event IDs for the range of dates and selected domains. For example, extract all '4662' event IDs from the event history database that occurred in March.

Get specific changes to AD using quick filter

Filter data quickly based on search strings and dates. Wildcard characters can be applied. For example, all rows of change data belonging to "Administrators" can be filtered by a simple string filter "*admin*" in all fields or in a single field. A simple string filter using "Full Control" as a search string will display all objects that have had any changes related to the "Full Control" permission.

Filter AD reports using complex filter conditions

The Advanced Filter tool in Event Reports lets you filter the report based on complex filter conditions. Advanced Filter allows the user to perform advanced query-based filtering using field names and their values and save the filter configuration for future use. Selecting and applying a saved filter will apply the filter and directly produce the subset of data you want.

For example, all rows of user change data belonging to the 'Property name' field can be filtered by composite filter (([Property name] = 'Phone number') or ([Property name] = 'city')).

Find all string occurrences in AD reports

A simple string-based find operation highlights all cells that contain the string. Especially useful in determining occurrences of strings and their frequencies in a large set of displayed data.

Flexible export feature to export change reports to HTML/CSV/XLSX file formats instantly or in a scheduled manner.

Instant email notification of changes in AD

Instantly notify changes to different user groups as soon as the changes are detected.
