Applications

The tasks under this heading are used to define auditing for different types of applications within your environment.

See the following administration task descriptions for more information:

Exchange Mailbox auditing

Exchange Mailbox auditing helps tighten enterprise-wide change and control policies by tracking user and administrator activity such as user account changes, delivery restriction changes, send on behalf updates, and more. With these types of real-time alerts and in-depth analysis and reporting capabilities, your Exchange infrastructure is always protected from exposure to suspicious behavior or unauthorized access and kept in compliance with corporate and government standards.

To enable Exchange Mailbox auditing, you must first define whose (users or groups) mailbox activities are to be audited.

IMPORTANT: When the Message read by non-owner event is enabled and a mailbox is moved from one mailbox store to another, Change Auditor generates an event for every email in the mailbox that is being moved. For example, if a user has 1,000 emails in their mailbox, you will receive 1,000 Message read by non-owner events in Change Auditor.

To avoid generating these events, do not add the user account for the mailbox to be moved to the list on the Exchange Mailbox Auditing page on the Administration Tasks page.

To enable Exchange mailbox auditing, you must first specify whose mailbox activities are to be audited. To create this mailbox list, use the Exchange Mailbox Auditing page, which is displayed when Exchange Mailbox is selected from the Auditing task list in the navigation pane of the Administration Tasks page.

2
Click Auditing.
3
Select Exchange Mailbox (under the Applications heading in the Auditing task list) to open the Exchange Mailbox Auditing page.
4
Click Add to display the Exchange Auditing wizard.
5
Select one of the options at the top of the page: Enterprise or This Object (default).
6
If the This Object option is selected, use the Browse and Search pages to locate and select a directory object (i.e., User, Group, Container, DomainDNS, OrganizationalUnit, or BuiltinDomain) and use Add to add the selected directory object to the selection list at the bottom of the page.
7
Click Finish to close this wizard and return to the Exchange Mailbox Auditing page, where your selections will now be listed with a No in the Exclude cell.
9
The default scope of coverage is displayed in the Scope cell. You can change this by clicking in the Scope cell and selecting the appropriate option from the list:
Object - to audit an individual object
One Level - to audit an object and its direct child objects
Subtree - to audit an object and all of its subordinate objects (all levels)

From the Exchange Mailbox Auditing page you can exclude a previously included mailbox by changing the setting in the Exclude cell.

Click in the Exclude cell of the mailbox to be included and select Yes.

For example, if you wanted to audit all mailboxes in the Enterprise, except those belonging to the accounts in the ExchangeAdmin organizational unit, you would create two entries in the Exchange Mailbox Auditing list:

Use Add to create an audit entry for the Enterprise with Exclude = No.
Use Add to create an audit entry for the ExchangeAdmin OU and change Exclude to Yes.
