Change Auditor 7.2 - Quick Start Guide

Step 3: Add user accounts to Change Auditor security groups

During the coordinator installation process, you were presented with the option to add the current user to the ChangeAuditor Administrators security group in the specified Change Auditor installation. If you elected not to add the current user during the installation process or wish to add additional user accounts, please use the following procedure; otherwise skip to Step 4: Start the client.

1
Once the coordinator and client are installed, you must add all of the user accounts who will be running the client to one of the following security groups:
•
ChangeAuditor Administrators - <InstallationName> Group - provides access to all aspects of Change Auditor and to roll out Change Auditor agents
•
ChangeAuditor Operators - <InstallationName> Group - provides access to Change Auditor with the exception of making configuration changes
2
In addition, all users responsible for deploying agents must also be a member of the ChangeAuditor Administrators group in the specified Change Auditor installation.
3
Use one of the following applications to add the appropriate user accounts to the Change Auditor security groups:
•
Domain in Native Mode: Use the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in.
•
Domain in Mixed Mode: Use the Microsoft Computer Management system provided tool.
* 
NOTE: For more detailed instructions on adding user accounts to security groups, refer to the Change Auditor Installation Guide.
4
To apply the change, logout and back in.
5
All users running a Change Auditor client must have also the proper SQL credentials for accessing the Change Auditor database.
6
One way of accomplishing this would be to add the ChangeAuditor Administrators and ChangeAuditor Operators groups to the appropriate SQL database roles which were also created during the coordinator installation:
•
ChangeAuditor_Administrators
•
ChangeAuditor_Operators
7
Open the Microsoft SQL Management Studio and connect to the SQL database server.
8
Create a SQL login for the ChangeAuditor Administrators group and assign this login to the ChangeAuditor_Administrators role for the Change Auditor database.
9
Create a SQL Login for the ChangeAuditor Operators group and assign this login to the ChangeAuditor_Operators role for the Change Auditor database.
* 
NOTE: For more detailed instructions on adding groups to SQL database roles, see the Change Auditor Installation Guide.

Step 4: Start the client

After completing the installation (which includes installing a coordinator and at least one client), the next step is to ensure that you can connect to the coordinator.

1
Select Start | All Programs | Quest | Change Auditor | Change Auditor Client.
The Connection screen opens where you can connect to the ‘default connection’ profile or define or specify a different connection profile.
A connection profile defines the connection method used to connect to a coordinator in trusted or untrusted forests, or to the database directly without connecting with the coordinator. See Manage Connection Profiles in the Change Auditor User Guide for more information about defining connection profiles.
2
Initially, select Connect to use the default connection profile.
After you have defined alternate connection profiles, select the appropriate profile from the drop-down list and click Connect.
* 
TIP: If you cannot connect, ensure that the Quest Change Auditor Coordinator service is running and that you are a member of either the ChangeAuditor Administrators or ChangeAuditor Operators security group.
3
If you do not have the proper credentials required for access, the appropriate credentials dialogs will be displayed allowing you to enter the required credentials.
4
Once connected, you will be presented with the Start page. Select the Deployment tab to select the servers to which agents are to be deployed.

Step 5: Deploy agents

To deploy agents:
1
Verify that the user account you are using to deploy agents is at least a Domain Admin in every domain that contains servers or workstations where agents will be deployed.
2
Verify that the user account is a member of the ChangeAuditor Administrators group in the specified Change Auditor installation.
3
Open the client. If agents have not yet been deployed, select the Deployment tab. Otherwise, use View | Deployment.
The Deployment page is populated with the servers (domain controllers and member servers) and workstations in your Active Directory environment.
* 
NOTE: The Deployment page may initially be empty until the current forest’s server topology has been initially harvested. Topology scan takes a long time when the environment contains many workstations. This page is automatically refreshed after this task has completed.
4
From this list, select an entry and use the Credentials | Set tool bar button or right-click command to enter the proper user credentials for installing agents on the selected domain.
On the Domain Credentials dialog, select the domain from the list and click Set. On the Logon Credentials dialog, enter the credentials of a user with administrator rights on the selected domain.
5
After entering the proper credentials, select the entry back on the Deployment page and select Credentials | Test. If you get a Valid Creds status in the Deployment Result column, you can start deploying agents to that domain.
If you get a Logon Failure status in the Deployment Result column, use the Credentials | Set command to enter the proper credentials for installing agents.
6
By default, the Change Auditor agent folders (Agent, Systray) are installed to %ProgramFiles%\Quest\ChangeAuditor\. You can, however, change the location of the installation folder by clicking Advanced Options.
7
Select one or more servers or workstations on the Deployment page and click Install or Upgrade.
8
On the Install or Upgrade dialog select one of the following options to schedule the deployment task:
•
Now (default)
•
When
If you select the When option, enter the date and time when you want the deployment task to initiate. Click OK to initiate or schedule the deployment task.
Back on the Deployment page, the Agent Status column displays ‘Pending’ and the When column displays the date and time specified.
* 
NOTE: To cancel a pending deployment task, select the server or workstation and then click Install or Upgrade. On the Install or Upgrade dialog, click Clear Pending.
9
As agents are successfully connected to the coordinator, the corresponding Deployment Result cell displays ‘Success’, the Agent Status cell displays ‘Active’ and a desktop notification displays in the lower right-hand corner of your screen.
* 
NOTE: To deactivate these desktop notifications, select Action | Agent Notifications.
Once agents are deployed and you open the client, the Overview page opens and provides a real-time stream of events based on a ‘favorite’ search definition and other summary information.
* 
NOTE: After the deployment, the Version cell might display a previous version of an agent if you installed the agent on an unsupported platform.
