Audit and protection configuration flow

Audit and protection configurations are maintained using the client that is installed on either workstations or member servers. Configuration changes are stored in the SQL database by the coordinator service.

The following configurations can be shared across forests regardless of the forest trust level:

•
Active Directory Auditing — Object Class\Attributes
•
ADAM\AD (LDS) Auditing — Object Class\Attributes
•
Excluded Accounts templates
•
File System Auditing templates
•
Registry Auditing templates
•
Service Auditing templates
•
SQL Auditing templates
•
Audit Event configurations (for example, enabled or disabled, severity level)

The following configurations can be shared when a two-way trust exists:

•
Active Directory Protection templates
•
ADAM\AD (LDS) Protection templates
•
Exchange Protection templates
•
File System Protection templates
•
Group Policy Protection templates
* 
NOTE: A trust is required to view the Active Directory accounts in the other forest for protection account exclusions.

Event flow

Recorded audit events are first queued in a local database on each agent computer. Events are then batched and forwarded to a coordinator. The coordinator checks for new events every 10 seconds and does a bulk insert of the event details to the SQL database.

Reports and queries from the client

Change Auditor clients do not connect directly to the SQL database. Instead, the coordinator to which the client is connected processes search results and change requests. Clients can connect to any coordinator if the logged on user is a member of either the ChangeAuditor Administrators — <InstallationName> or the ChangeAuditor Operators — <InstallationName> group in the respective forest.

By default, user-configured alerts (SMTP, SNMP, and WMI) are generated and sent from the first installed coordinator in the Change Auditor installation.
