ManageEngine ADAudit Plus
ADAudit Plus offers comprehensive insights into all activities within your Windows Server environment, ensuring both safety and compliance. This tool provides an organized perspective on modifications made to your Active Directory (AD) resources, encompassing AD objects, their attributes, group policies, and much more. By implementing AD auditing, you can identify and address insider threats, misuse of privileges, or other potential security breaches. It grants a thorough overview of all elements in AD, including users, computers, groups, organizational units, and group policy objects. You can monitor user management actions such as deletions, password resets, and changes in permissions, along with information detailing who performed these actions, what was done, when it happened, and where. To maintain a principle of least privilege, it's essential to track additions and removals from both security and distribution groups, enabling better oversight of user access rights. This ongoing vigilance not only helps in compliance but also fortifies the overall security posture of your server environment.

Active Directory Explorer (AD Explorer)
Active Directory Explorer (AD Explorer) is an essential tool that empowers users to view and modify Active Directory (AD) databases. This application facilitates effortless navigation through an AD database, allows users to bookmark favorite locations, and enables inspection of object properties and attributes without needing to open a multitude of dialog boxes. Moreover, it provides the capability to change permissions, investigate an object's schema, and execute intricate searches that can be saved for later use. A standout feature of AD Explorer is its ability to save snapshots of an AD database for offline access, which simplifies comparison tasks. When users delve into a saved snapshot, they can interact with it as if it were a live database, ensuring a consistent experience. Additionally, if users have two separate snapshots of an AD database, the comparison functionality of AD Explorer can reveal differences in objects, attributes, and security permissions, making it a crucial resource for monitoring changes over time. This feature not only supports the tracking of modifications but also significantly improves the efficiency of managing Active Directory environments, ultimately leading to better organizational oversight and control. Thus, AD Explorer proves to be an invaluable asset for administrators seeking to maintain an organized and secure Active Directory infrastructure.
