One size doesn’t fit all. So AdminDroid gives you the power to pick the right alerting approach.
Whether it's a sudden spike, a change from the usual pattern, or a single high-risk event, AdminDroid helps you set up alerts that suit your needs. Use event-based triggers, thresholds, or historical comparisons to focus on what truly matters.
Instantly triggers an alert when a sensitive or high-risk event occurs.
Example
Example:
Alert when a user is added to domain admins group, critical policy changes, or an account gets locked out in your Active Directory domain.
Fire alert when an event crosses a defined count within a specific period.
Example
Example:
Alert when 5 account lockouts happen within 10 minutes, possibly indicating a brute-force attack.
Compares current activity with historical data to flag unusual behavior based on deviation from the norm.
Example
Example:
When a user logs in to a Domain Controller usually around 10 per day, but suddenly spikes to 40, an alert is triggered based on historical patterns.
See beyond the logs. Real threats hide until you filter smart.
Not every anomaly is a threat, but the context makes all the difference. AdminDroid lets you fine-tune your alerts to stay focused on the events that pose real risk in your Active Directory environment.
Some events only become critical in the right context. For example, 5 failed sign-ins across your organization may not be alarming. But 5 failed sign-ins from a single user? That could be a security concern.
Set the scope to the property “Logon User Name” to monitor activity at the user level and catch issues early.
Narrow your focus by filtering alerts using attributes like group name, user ID, performed by, and more. For example, instead of triggering alerts for every group membership change, you can set alerts to notify you only when the Domain Admins group membership is modified.
Alerts are truly actionable only when they carry the right context and are clear & well-organized. With AdminDroid, you can:
Customize alert emails that align with your organization’s communication style and urgency. You can personalize the email header, body, font color and size, and even include attachments, images, quotes, and more.
Apply labels to organize and quickly identify alerts by type. Choose from Built in labels or create custom ones to reflect specific use case.
Every alert isn’t equal. Assign severity levels like Severe, High, Medium, Low, or Info to highlight what needs immediate attention and what can wait.
Don’t turn your inbox into a SIEM. Use your audit data to create a smarter alert policy.
More alerts aren’t always better. That’s why AdminDroid helps you preview and perfect your Active Directory alert policies before they go live. The Alert Preview Console helps you strike the right balance by using your organization’s audit data to simulate alerts before they’re triggered.
AdminDroid reviews your past audit logs to show how many alerts your current policy would have generated.
You can then adjust thresholds or conditions until the previewed alerts match your real-world expectations.
This ensures your alert policies are accurate, meaningful, and tailored to your environment, not based on assumptions.
From subtle tweaks to major edits, catch every Active Directory attribute change as it happens.
With AdminDroid, you can go beyond basic event-based alerts. Set up notifications when specific properties within Active Directory objects are modified. Whether it’s user attributes, group settings, or computer configurations, you have the flexibility to monitor thousands of property-level changes that impact your environment.
A glimpse of what you can catch
Trigger an alert when a user’s “Department” attribute is updated. This helps promptly update group memberships and access permissions.
Stay informed if the “Protect from Accidental Deletion” setting on an Organizational Unit is disabled. It’s a critical signal for potential tampering or mistakes.
Set alerts when a user's group membership count suddenly spikes or exceeds a defined count. Perfect for detecting permission expansion or unauthorized access escalation.
Receive alerts when sensitive attributes like “Job Title”, “Manager”, or “Group Scope” are changed. These changes often impact access rights and should never go unnoticed.
No need to start from scratch. Click, deploy, and get alerted.
Get started in seconds with 25+ ready to use Active Directory alert policies tailored for real world scenarios. From critical admin changes to security-sensitive activities, these pre built policies cover the essentials every organization needs. Just select a policy and deploy it. Alerts will be triggered automatically whenever those actions occur.
Detect risky behaviors and early signs of compromise in Active Directory.

Avoid alert fatigue by bundling similar events into a single, easy-to-read notification. Ideal for informational alerts such as user moves, password resets, or group modifications. You receive one consolidated alert instead of fifty separate ones.
Control the number of email notifications you receive each day for noisy alert policies. Your inbox stays clean, while alerts continue to be generated and logged without limits.
Get complete visibility into all triggered alerts from a centralized dashboard.
Once alerts start flowing in, you need more than just inbox notifications. AdminDroid gives you the clarity and control to monitor, investigate, and act on alerts effectively.
