Registry Auditing

Introduction

The ability to audit registry settings improves operational efficiency dramatically. For example, some applications, such as virus scanning software, modify registry keys when an update is installed. By capturing these change events proactively, administrators can determine whether or not specific machines received an update.

Furthermore, other applications may warrant the tracking of modifications to certain registry settings to ensure that they have not been tampered with. Change Auditor’s registry auditing feature allows you to audit changes to a specific key or to a folder and its sub folders.

To capture registry events, you must define the registry keys to be audited and the events to be captured:

Registry Auditing page

The Registry Auditing page is displayed when Registry is selected from the Auditing task list in the navigation pane of the Administration Tasks page. From this page you can launch the Registry Auditing wizard to specify a registry key to be audited. You can also edit existing templates, disable/enable templates and remove templates that are no longer being used.

The Registry Auditing page contains an expandable view of all the Registry Auditing templates that have been previously defined. To add a new template to the list, use the Add tool bar button. Once added, the following information is provided for the template:

Indicates whether the template is enabled or disabled. To enable/disable the template, place your cursor in this Status cell, click the arrow control and select the appropriate option from the drop-down menu.

Click the expansion box to the left of the Template name to expand this view and display additional details about an auditing template.
