Installing audit agents

To collect data on a computer, you must install and activate the audit agent.

To install an audit agent
1
Select Auditing & Alerting | Agents.
2
Click Install.

The Welcome page reminds you to enable auditing in Active Directory®. See Setting up auditing on domain controllers.

3
Click Next.
4
In the Domain box, type the domain name; or browse to locate a domain.
5
If necessary, click Find Domain Controllers.
7
Click Next.

You can install the audit agent on the selected domain controllers themselves or on another computer in the current domain. A single audit agent should be able to monitor activity on up to five domain controllers, depending on the type and frequency of activities being audited.

Table 66. Options for the install process

Description

Install on target Domain Controller(s)

By default, the audit agent is installed on the domain controllers you selected on the previous page.

Audit from an agent on the following computer

Select to install the audit agent on a computer in the domain. Type a computer's fully qualified domain name in the box, or browse to locate a computer.

Start collecting events immediately after installation of the agent

By default, the audit agent is activated and collection begins immediately upon completion of the installation process. Clear the check box if you want to activate the audit agents manually.

Click Next.

In the Run as box, type an account with domain administrative rights, or click to locate an account, and then enter the password.
NOTE: The Active Administrator Agent service can also run under a domain user account provided it is a local administrative account, which gives it the rights to log on as a service, log on locally, and manage auditing and security log, or these privileges can be granted individually. This user or service account should also be a member of the AA_Admin group, which by default is located in the Local groups of the server where the ActiveAdministrator database is located. If the group is not found in this location, the settings during the initial database creation were modified and it can be found under the Users container object of Active Directory.
11
To verify the account, click Test Audit Agent Account.
12
Click Next.
14
Click Next.
15
Click Finish.

The Audit Agent page lists the domain controllers you selected, the time and date of the last event collected, the status of the audit agent and the advanced audit agent, the name of server on which Active Administrator is installed, and the version number of the audit agent installed on the domain controller.

You can view details about the install in the AuditAgentInstall*.log file, which is located in C:\ProgramData\Quest\Active Administrator\Logs.

If the group is not found in this location, the settings during the initially database creation were modified and the group can be found under the Users container object of Active Directory®.
