When configured, Change Auditor prevents changes from occurring to a protected object regardless of who attempts to change the object and the tool or method used. Attempts to change or delete a protected object fail and an event is generated. These ‘failed’ events are identified in the client by displaying ‘Protected’ in the Result column on the Search Results page and Result field in an event’s detail pane.
See the Change Auditor User Guide for more information about defining the events to be captured based on result. |

The Active Directory protection page contains an expandable view of all previously defined Active Directory protection templates. To add new template, use the Add button. Once added, the following information is provided for each template:
