Custom Active Directory attribute auditing

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.
4
Select an object class from the list located across the top of this page. (This list box contains the default object classes and the object classes selected on the Active Directory Auditing page.)

Selecting an entry in this list will populate the lists across the bottom of the dialog with the applicable attributes.

If your current installation includes a foreign forest, the Select Foreign Forest dialog opens where you can select the required forest.

5
In the Unmonitored Attribute list, located in the lower left pane of this page, select one or more attributes and click Add to select them for auditing.

You can also double-click an attribute to select it for auditing or ‘drag and drop’ it into the Monitored Attribute list.

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. This moves the selected attribute back into the Unmonitored Attribute list.

You can also double-click an attribute to remove it from auditing or ‘drag and drop’ it back into the Unmonitored Attribute list.

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 attributes selected for auditing. This value will also be displayed in the Monitor Attributes column back on the Active Directory Auditing page.

Introduction

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

* 
IMPORTANT: By default, Change Auditor monitors the user object class at the enterprise level. To limit the scope of users who will be audited, delete the user object class from the Active Directory Auditing page. Then use the Member of Group Auditing page to define the users to be audited.

The Group Membership Expansion pane on the Coordinator Configuration page (Administration Tasks tab) allows you to define and schedule the expansion of nested membership of the Active Directory groups defined on the Member of Group Auditing page. See the Quest Change Auditor User Guide for more information on defining group membership expansion behavior.
