Uncover every user addition and deletion event in Active Directory

From new additions to critical deletions, track every user object change with AdminDroid’s Active Directory change tracker. Plus, gain detailed insights on who created the user account, when it happened, on which machine it occurred, target account domain, and more.

Be aware when disabled user accounts are re-enabled in AD

Stop permission leaks and sensitive access from being reactivated by catching re-enabled users and reverting their status instantly if it’s unauthorized. Stay aware of all user enabling and disabling activities to investigate quickly and keep your Active Directory secure.

Monitor recently unlocked users in your Active Directory

Keep a close watch on unlocked accounts and understand who unlocked them, why it happened, and whether it followed a password reset. Review the cause of each account lockout and verify that the unlock was authorized to avoid accidental exposure or insider threats.

Identify updated Active Directory users to track attribute changes

Whether it’s a department update or an email address change, even a small slip can disrupt how users work and interact with data. AdminDroid’s user change tracking report highlights all updated user accounts with before-and-after values, ensuring consistent and secure user administration.

Check password resets done by admins in Active Directory

Admins frequently reset passwords when users forget them, let them expire, or face account compromise. With AdminDroid, you can effortlessly audit these admin-initiated password resets to catch suspicious activity, validate help desk actions, and keep your directory secure.

Audit Active Directory Group Administration Activities

When groups define access, group changes define risk. AdminDroid tracks every AD group and member shift - so no one slips through the crack!

AdminDroid allows you to audit every aspect of group administration activity, including creations, deletions, name changes, and more. You no longer need to manually search logs or run complex queries to track group changes!

Thoroughly audit group membership changes in your domain

Removing members from key security and distribution groups without notice can disrupt access to critical resources like email, file servers, and business apps. With AdminDroid, track every group membership change through comprehensive reports to maintain operational continuity.

Know exactly who changed a group type & scope in Active Directory

Unauthorized conversions of group types (like Security to Distribution) or scope (like Global to Universal) can silently create permission misconfigurations and critical access issues. AdminDroid keeps you informed of every group type and scope change, offering a detailed picture to ensure accurate group administration.

Track unusual membership changes in privileged groups

AdminDroid’s Active Directory change auditor tool sheds light on every membership change in privileged groups like Administrators, Domain Admins, Enterprise Admins, and Schema Admins to quickly detect unauthorized privilege escalations and prevent potential misuse.

Keep a close eye on special group changes in Active Directory

Special Groups is a Windows feature that tracks logons by members of high-privilege or sensitive groups by using security identifiers (SIDs) defined in the registry. AdminDroid helps you audit changes to these special groups, making it easy to detect unauthorized access.

Monitor updated security groups to prevent access misconfigurations

Isn’t it tedious to constantly track security group changes in Active Directory for potential access issues? The process is time-consuming and error-prone. AdminDroid lifts that burden with a dedicated group changes report showing both original and updated values, enabling you to respond quickly before they impact members.

Audit Active Directory Computer Management Activities

Every machine in AD holds the keys to your castle. AdminDroid keeps an unblinking eye on all computer changes to shield your network.

Observe changes to computer accounts in your Active Directory

Beyond just tracking new computer creations, auditing events like modifications, deletions, restorations, etc., is critical for administrators. AdminDroid’s Active Directory change monitoring tool gives complete visibility into computer changes, helping you spot suspicious activity and reduce your organization’s attack surface.

Audit computer reset events across your AD environment

Computer resets are common for fixing trust issues, but they can also hint at misconfigurations or compromise. AdminDroid provides detailed audit trails for each computer reset, including who performed the reset, when it happened, etc., helping you validate changes and stay secure.

Don’t miss a single disabled computer event in AD

AdminDroid precisely audits disabled computer events, empowering you to catch unauthorized deactivations and verify that only truly inactive systems are disabled. This proactive approach safeguards business productivity, prevents unintended service downtime, and keeps your AD secure.

Monitor who added or removed contacts in your AD domain

Active Directory contacts often represent external entities like vendors, partners, or redirected mailboxes. Sudden additions or deletions can cause confusion in the Global Address List or disrupt communication flow. Whether it’s a silent deletion or a sneaky addition, AdminDroid brings them all to light for a clean and reliable directory!

Precisely audit all movements of contact objects within your AD

Moving contacts between OUs can disrupt organizational structure and lead to a lack of accountability. But don’t worry! AdminDroid tracks every moved contact, showing who, when, and where, so you can easily maintain directory integrity.

Look out for OU deletions before they break your AD structure

Deleting an Organizational Unit (OU) isn’t just removing an item from the hierarchy; it can wipe out hundreds of objects like users, computers, etc., in a single click. AdminDroid alerts you to every OU deletion in Active Directory, helping you respond before the damage spreads.

Identify renamed organizational units in Active Directory

AdminDroid leaves no change unnoticed, even when an Organizational Unit (OU) is silently renamed in Active Directory. What seems harmless can disrupt audit trails and affect automation scripts that rely on exact names. AdminDroid captures every rename event with full context, giving you clear visibility and control over your OU management.

Detect moved OUs in AD to prevent service outages

Moving an OU can silently detach linked GPOs, leaving systems unprotected or misconfigured. This poses a serious security risk, as essential restrictions, access controls, or compliance settings may no longer apply. AdminDroid audits all OU movements to prevent policy gaps, misalignments, and costly downtime.

Track every OU updates with full visibility into old and new values

Even a minor change to OU properties such as protected From Accidental Deletion can leave sensitive OUs vulnerable to removal, leading to the unintended deletion of all contained objects. AdminDroid instantly flags all updated OUs with granular details, enabling a quick rollback, and lets you export reports for recovery planning or internal reviews.

Gain complete visibility into all OU administration activities in AD

From creations to modifications, AdminDroid provides in-depth insights into every action performed on Organizational Units in Active Directory. In addition, the ability to filter these changes by OU properties is the icing on the cake, making your investigations faster and more focused than ever!
