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.
