Introduction

Quest Change Auditor for Active Directory drives the security and control of Microsoft Active Directory by tracking vital 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 system-provided auditing.

In addition, Change Auditor for Active Directory allows you to lock down critical Active Directory, ADAM (AD LDS), and Group Policy Objects, to protect them from unauthorized or accidental modifications or deletions.

You can also track on Azure Active Directory changes. Change Auditor correlates activity across the on-premises and cloud environment making it easy to search all events regardless of where they occurred. For more information, see the Change Auditor for Office 365 and Azure Active Directory Auditing User Guide.

To ensure Active Directory compliance, you can automatically generate intelligent and in-depth reports, protecting you against policy violations and avoiding the risks and errors associated with day-to-day modifications. For fast troubleshooting, you always get the original and current values.

* 
NOTE: Active Directory auditing and protection are only available if you have licensed Change Auditor for Active Directory. If you do not have a valid license you can use the features, however, associated events are not captured. To verify that it is licensed, right-click the coordinator icon in the system tray and select Licensing.
