Active Directory Change Tracker

Version 2.1

Vyapin Active Directory Change Tracker tracks, analyzes and reports all changes made to your Active Directory configuration. The tool audits all changes made to your Active Directory by periodically collecting only the changed data, reporting what exactly changed, along with the new and old values, when the change was made, where the change happened in your Active Directory and the tool also determines who made the change by looking up the Security Event logs of your audit-enabled Active Directory.

Active Directory Change tracker records and maintains the entire history all tracked changes, along with the relevant Event log data, in a SQL server database for future reference and analysis. A powerful search tool helps you analyze all past changes on any predefined search criteria. Changes can be selectively tracked on OUs and other containers with several different delivery options in the form of reports, export and email.

Active Directory Change Tracker may be configured to work with or without the native Auditing capabilities of Active Directory. You can use the tool to track and audit AD configuration changes on what exactly changed even without using the native auditing of AD. You can additionally combine the tool with the default native auditing of AD to capture Security event log audit records of changes from all domain controllers in your domain (since event log data is not replicated). Thus, the tool gives you the choices to have complete control on how you would like to track and manage changes to your Active Directory.

Change Management is a critical component in Enterprise systems management and is also required to meet your organization’s compliance and regulatory needs such as SOX and HIPAA. Vyapin Active Directory Change Tracker serves the demanding needs of tracking and maintaining records of critical changes to Active Directory and is a must-have tool for Active Directory administration.
