Change Auditor for Active Directory 7.1.1 - Event Reference Guide

Introduction

Change Auditor for Active Directory drives the security and control of Microsoft Active Directory by proactively tracking vital Active Directory configuration changes in real time. From GPO and Schema to critical group and operational changes, Change Auditor for Active Directory tracks, audits, reports, and alerts on changes that impact your directory — without the overhead costs of native auditing.

You can also track, audit, and report on Azure Active Directory changes. For more information, see the Change Auditor for Office 365 and Azure Active Directory Auditing User Guide.

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

* 
NOTE: Active Directory and ADAM (AD LDS) auditing and event logging are only available when you have licensed Change Auditor for Active Directory. Contact your Sales Representative for more information about obtaining Change Auditor for Active Directory.

This guide lists the events that can be captured by Change Auditor for Active Directory. Separate event reference guides are provided that list the core Change Auditor events (when any Change Auditor license is applied) and the events captured when the different auditing modules are licensed.
