Change Auditor - For Advanced Users 7.4

The coordinator determines maximum licensed users by comparing the value associated with the component license to the total count of users in each domain. The coordinator does this by issuing LDAP queries to Active Directory using specific filters for a precise count.

Generic User Count Query (for Active Directory, File System, SQL Server, EMC, NetApp, SharePoint, Skype for Business, Logon Activity User licensing):

(&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=user)(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=512)(!userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))

Mail Enabled User Count Query (for Exchange licensing including Office 365 Exchange Online):

(&(samAccountType=805306368)(|(&(!userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)(msExchHomeServerName=*))(&(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)(msExchMasterAccountSid=*))))

Workstation Installation Count (for Logon Activity licensing):

Workstation counts are based on the actual number of workstations harvested in the topology.

Start up delays

When set to ‘false’ the GeneratePublisherEvidence setting is used to bypass digital signature verification for programs on start-up which allows for faster start up time. This is set to false by default for the following components in Change Auditor: Coordinator, Windows client, Coordinator Configuration and Coordinator Status in the system tray.

If required, you can change this setting to 'true' to allow digital signatures to be verified, by modifying the following files:


Component	File
Coordinator	Program Files\Quest\ChangeAuditor\Service\ChangeAuditor.Service.exe.config
Windows Client	Program Files\Quest\ChangeAuditor\Client\ChangeAuditor.exe.config
Coordinator Configuration	Program Files\Quest\ChangeAuditor\Service\ConfigureDatabase.exe.config
Coordinator Status	Program Files\Quest\ChangeAuditor\Service\CoordinatorTray.exe.config
