Change Auditor for Active Directory Queries Overview
Introduction
Many applications use Active Directory as an LDAP directory to provide user credentials, group membership information, and other application data. During a directory migration or restructuring project, such as a corporate acquisition, it is important to understand the ways that applications use the directory before migrating the directory structure, to avoid unnecessary application downtime. Obtaining this information from Windows audit logs is extremely difficult, as it requires setting SACLs and aggregating security audit logs from all domain controllers in the environment.
