Agent Comparison

There are a few client features that are not available for workstation agents. The following table displays the agent-related features that are available for server and workstation agents.

Deployment Page

The Deployment page does not display non-member objects, such as ADAM workgroup servers or non-Active Directory workstations, because agents cannot be deployed to non-member objects using the Deployment tab.

NOTE: For workstation log management (such as Get Logs and View Agent Logs), the following must be enabled on the workstation:
•
Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) in the firewall rule set (usually domain) on the workstation
•
Network Discovery and File Sharing
•
Remote Registry Service set to ‘Start Automatically’. By default, this service is stopped and set to ‘Manual’ for Windows 8.1 and 10.

Install an agent to audit ADAM (AD LDS) on workgroup servers

Change Auditor audits Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) or Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) events. This section provides information regarding the agent installation necessary for auditing ADAM (AD LDS) instances on workgroup servers.

Agent installation
* 
NOTE: An agent must be installed on the server where the ADAM (AD LDS) instance to audit resides.
To install agents to audit ADAM (AD LDS) on workgroup servers:
* 
NOTE: A workgroup agent requires NetBIOS over TCP enabled and access to the following ports inbound to the domain controllers:
•
UDP port 137 (name services)
•
UDP port 138 (datagram services)
•
TCP port 139 (session services)
1
Copy the appropriate agent installer package from the Change Auditor service installation directory to the workgroup server to monitor. The default directory is %ProgramFiles%\Quest\ChangeAuditor\Service\ Change Auditor Agent (x64).msi.
2
Run the installer file on the workgroup server to open the Change Auditor Agent wizard which steps you through the installation.
3
Review the following table for additional requested information in this wizard. This table only covers unfamiliar information. It does not include all the wizard screens or field descriptions.
Table 7. Change Auditor Agent wizard
Active Directory Information screen

On the Active Directory Information screen, enter the Active Directory information required for the agent to establish a coordinator connection.

Name of Active Directory Root Domain
(domain.com)

Enter the DNS name (domain.com) of the root domain of Active Directory.

Account Name (domain\user)

Enter the name of the user (domain\user) that can find and connect to a Change Auditor coordinator in the Active Directory forest.

Account Password

Enter the password associated with the previously entered user account.

Installation Name screen

The Installation Name screen prompts you to enter the installation name to identify the database to which the coordinator is to be connected. A workgroup agent must join an existing Change Auditor installation.

ChangeAuditor Installation Name

Enter an existing Change Auditor installation or click Browse to select from a list of existing installations.

Active Roles Integration

Active Roles uses a proxy account (service account) to connect and change Active Directory objects and group policies. Change Auditor can deploy to an Active Roles server which signals it to retrieve and send the name of the user that was logged in to the Active Roles console to Change Auditor. This additional information is then displayed in the Change Auditor client for events initiated using Active Roles.

* 
NOTE: Change Auditor audits changes made through Active Roles workflow that are initiated by the Active Roles service account.
* 
NOTE: As of Active Roles version 7.3.3, you can monitor a single server from multiple installations of Change Auditor. To ensure that the Active Roles server EventSource is created and registered in the Change Auditor database, you need to deploy the Active Roles integration script from each Change Auditor installation. See Deploying Change Auditor/Active Roles integration scripts.

This section covers the following topics for Active Roles integrations:

•
Requirements
•
Deploying Change Auditor/Active Roles integration scripts
•
Client components added to Change Auditor
•

•
Troubleshooting Tips

Requirements

Active Roles
•
Active Roles 6.9 through 7.4.2
* 
NOTE: To capture the additional events and initiator account information available with the latest integration scripts, you must be running Active Roles 6.9 (or higher) with Change Auditor for Active Directory 6.0 (or higher).
* 
NOTE: To work with Active Roles 7.0, you must have installed: hotfix 7.0.2 SOL188024 for Active Roles and at a minimum Change Auditor 6.7.1539, Change Auditor 6.8.1474, or Change Auditor 6.9.
NOTE: If both Active Roles versions 6.x and 7.0.2 SOL188024 are installed on the same server as a side-by-side deployment, Change Auditor installs integration scripts to both.
•
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 (or higher) must be installed and enabled on the target Active Roles server
•
PowerShell 2.0 must be installed on the target Active Roles server
•
PowerShell Execution policy must be set to ‘AllSigned’, ‘RemoteSigned’ or ‘Unrestricted’ on the target Active Roles server. (For more information, see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee176961.aspx.)
•
Active Roles administrator right is required to deploy the integration scripts.
•
The Active Roles service account (or the override account) must be authorized to access the Change Auditor SDK. That is, add the Active Roles server service account to the ChangeAuditor Administrators security group.
* 
NOTE: If you use a role with the minimum permissions, use the Application User Interface page on the Administration Tasks tab to define a role that contains the ‘Add Sdk’ and ‘View Sdk’ operations. For more information about using the Application User Interface page to define a new role, see the Change Auditor User Guide.
Change Auditor for Active Directory
•
Change Auditor for Active Directory 5.6 (or higher)
* 
NOTE: To capture the additional events and initiator account information available with the latest integration scripts, you must be running Active Roles 6.9 (or higher) with Change Auditor for Active Directory 6.0 (or higher). To deploy Active Roles 7.0, you must have installed at a minimum, Change Auditor 6.7.1539, Change Auditor 6.8.1474, or Change Auditor 6.9.
•
The integration scripts must be deployed to a server running Active Roles.
* 
NOTE: If Active Roles replication is configured correctly, you only need to deploy the integration script to one Active Roles server.
•
The Change Auditor agents must be installed on all domain controllers in the environment to ensure that the Active Directory changes are picked up.
