The following table provides a description of the available fields and controls:

ADAM (AD LDS) event logging

In addition to real-time event auditing, you can enable event logging to capture ADAM (AD LDS) events locally in a Windows event log. This event log can then be collected using InTrust to satisfy long-term storage requirements.

For ADAM (AD LDS) events, event logging is disabled by default. When enabled, all ADAM activity is sent to the InTrust for ADAM event log. See the Change Auditor for Active Directory Event Reference Guide for a list of the events that can be sent to this event log.
