Group Policy object protection

When configured, Change Auditor prevents all changes to GPOs, regardless of the tool that is used to make the change. Protection includes both portions of the Group Policy data: the Group Policy objects in Active Directory and the actual configuration data stored in the SYSVOL share on domain controllers.

* 
IMPORTANT: A protected Group Policy Object can only be changed by override accounts that are excluded from protection.
* 
NOTE: When an attempt is made to use the Windows Group Policy Editor to change a group policy object (that is protected by Change Auditor), an access-denied error is displayed indicating that the change was not saved. However, when the error is dismissed the unsaved change will still be shown in the Editor as if it had been saved because the Group Policy Editor will not automatically refresh. To show the true (unchanged) state of the group policy object, you must close and reopen the Editor.
Group Policy Protection page

The Group Policy Protection page is displayed when Group Policy is selected from the Protection task list in the navigation pane of the Administration Tasks page, and contains an expandable view of all the Group Policy Protection templates that have been previously defined. From this page, you can open the Group Policy Protection wizard to define critical group policy objects to protect from unauthorized modifications. You can also edit existing templates, disable and enable templates, and remove templates that are no longer being used.

The Group Policy protection templates defined on this page are global settings and apply to all Change Auditor agents.

* 
NOTE: If you are planning to use multiple Group Policy Protection templates, see the Quest Change Auditor Technical Insight Guide for more information about how multiple protection templates are evaluated.

Application

When licensed, Change Auditor for Exchange can provide extra protection over important mailboxes. The Exchange Mailbox protection prevents unwanted access to Exchange mailboxes, making it much more difficult for rogue administrators to access critical mailboxes.

Protection prevents users from accessing a mailbox through Outlook client; it does not prevent accessing a protected mailbox using OWA, ActiveSync, and EWS or changing permission on the mailbox through the Exchange Administration tools

See the Exchange Mailbox protection description for more information.

Exchange Mailbox protection

To enable Exchange Mailbox protection, you must first create one or more Exchange Mailbox Protection templates which specify whose mailboxes to lock down. Once Exchange Mailbox Protection templates are defined, they apply to all Exchange servers that host a Change Auditor agent.

NOTE: If you are planning to use multiple Exchange Mailbox Protection templates, see the Quest Change Auditor Technical Insight Guide for more information about how multiple protection templates are evaluated.
