Change Auditor 7.4 - Quick Start Guide

Audit custom user attributes

Active Directory Attribute auditing allows you to specify individual schema attributes to audit.

To define custom attribute auditing:
1
Open the Administration Tasks tab.
2
Click Auditing.
3
Select Attributes under Active Directory in the Auditing task list to open the Active Directory Attribute Auditing page.
4
Select an object class from the list located across the top of this page. Selecting an entry in this list, will populate the list boxes across the bottom of the dialog with the applicable attributes.
For example, select the group object.
5
In the Unmonitored Attribute list box, located in the lower left pane of this page, select one or more attributes and use the Add button to select them for auditing.
For example, select the description attribute.
6
To change the severity level assigned to an attribute, in the right-hand list box, place your cursor in the Severity cell and use the drop-down arrow to select the severity you want to assign to the selected attribute.
7
To remove an attribute from auditing, select the attribute from the right pane and click Remove to move the selected attribute back into the Unmonitored Attribute list box.
8
Once you have selected at least one attribute for auditing, the associated Monitored Attributes column in the list box across the top of this page will display the number of custom attributes selected for auditing. This value will also be displayed in the Monitor Attributes column back on the Active Directory Auditing page.
* 
NOTE: The default attributes which are automatically being audited for each object are NOT included in the Monitored Attributes counts.
9
To test these events, make a change to the attribute selected for auditing.
For example, launch Active Directory Users and Computers and change the description of a user.
10
Go back to the client and re-run the All Events report.
•
Open the Searches tab.
•
Expand the Shared | Built-In | All Events folder in the left pane.
•
Locate and double-click All Events in the right pane.
•
This will display a new Search Results page displaying the events.

Audit users based on their group membership

The Member of Group auditing feature allows you to audit specific users based on their group membership.

To define a Member of Group Auditing list:
1
Open the Administration Tasks tab.
2
Click Auditing.
3
Select Active Directory under the Auditing task list to display the Active Directory Auditing page.
4
From this page, select the user object class and click the Delete tool bar button. (By default, Change Auditor monitors all users; therefore, to use this feature, you must first delete the user object class.)
5
From the left pane of the Administration Tasks tab, select Member of Group under Active Directory in the Auditing task list to display the Member of Group Auditing page.
6
Click Add to display the Member of Group Auditing wizard.
7
Use the Browse and Search pages to locate and select a group and click Add to add the selected group to the Selected Objects list at the bottom of the wizard.
Repeat this step until you have selected all of the groups you want to add to the Member of Groups Auditing list. Then click Select to save your selections, close the wizard and return to the Member of Group Auditing page, where your selections will now be listed.
8
To test the auditing of users based on their group membership, make one or more changes to a user object that is included in the previously defined Member of Groups Auditing list.
You can also make changes to a user object that is not in the list to verify that no events will be generated for that user.
9
Go back to the Change Auditor client and re-run the All Events report.
•
Open the Searches tab.
•
Expand the Shared | Built-In | All Events folder in the left pane.
•
Locate and double-click All Events in the right pane.
•
This will display a new Search Results page displaying the events.
10
Ensure that the changes you made to the user objects in the list are displayed and that the changes you made to the user objects not in the list are not displayed.
