Re : ADAudit Logs


Application / Database Move to new Drive

Greetings,

In testing out the AD Audit Plus trial version, the server it current resides on was built with a production standard name, but non-production standard format on where the application is installed.

As it currently resides on the boot partition (C:), now that we've procured licensing for the application, I'd like to move the application and Postgres database from its installation on C: to D:.

Is this possible without reinstalling the entire application?  Or losing what data the database already contains?

I did find some links to move the entire installation to a new server, so that may be the best/only idea.  Or building a new box, and migrating the application over to it after the new installation is stood up.

Please let me know if anyone has any thoughts on this when you can.  Thank you.

Jeff

Re : Application / Database Move to new Drive

Save specific alerts for 1 year

For Auditing/compliance reasons, I need to be able to save/search any alerts for certain production files for an entire year.
I know I could save everything for that long, but I worry that would take up a lot of disk space.
I already set up a profile based alert so my team is notified via email for all the files in question, and at the moment, this is the solitary reason for using ADAudit Plus.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Configuring C-Mode Ontap Filer

Guys, can anyone provide steps to connect to a C-Mode Ontap filer running version 8 or 9 ?

Re : Save specific alerts for 1 year

Brad,

The solution provided by ADAudit Plus would be in the form of reports and alerts. Whenever the tool collects event data from DCs/Servers, it stores them in its database permanently. Whether we look at the data in the form of reports/alerts, it's a fact that data would still be available until it's archived. Even if you configure archiving, we could search directly from archives or restore to the database and find information.

Re : Configuring C-Mode Ontap Filer

Re : Configuring C-Mode Ontap Filer

Turns out I had to get a patch from support to enable in the UI. Must be because I have upgraded form v 4 through all the service packs. When I installed the latest build in my lab the options were there but not in my production so needed the patch. 

Wildcard Certificate Installation

I have a wildcard certificate on my Apache reverse proxy that I would like to use on my ADAudit installation. Is this possible? If so, what are the steps to accomplish this?

Thank you!

Re : Wildcard Certificate Installation

Please follow the procedure given below,

Step 1: Enable SSL in ADAudit Plus.
 
·         Navigate to Admin -->Connection
·         Select Enable SSL Port [https] check-box and click Save

Step 2: Stop ADAudit Plus.

·         Start --> All Programs --> ADAudit Plus --> Stop ADAudit Plus
·         If you have installed ADAudit Plus as a service, then stop the service (Start --> Run --> type Services.msc --> Stop ManageEngine ADAudit Plus)

Step 3: Export PFX/PKCS12 certificate file

·         Export and save your PFX/PKCS12 file under <installation_dir>\conf (By default: C:\ManageEngine\ ADAudit Plus\ conf) folder

Step 4: Edit Server.xml file to include the wildcard certificate

·         Now open the server.xml file present in <installation_dir>\conf folder in a text editor of your choice
·         Go to the end of the XML file and search for the connector tag (that starts like, <Connector SSLEnabled=”true” ……/>)
·         Now, edit the following values inside that connector tag:
·         keysotreFile=”./conf/”
·         keystorePass=” ”
·         keystoreType=”PKCS12”

E.g.: <Connector SSLEnabled="true" acceptCount="100" clientAuth="false" connectionTimeout="20000" debug="0" disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false" keystoreFile="./conf/YOUR_CERT_FILE.pfx" keystorePass="PASSWORD" keystoreType="PKCS12" maxSpareThreads="75" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" name="SSL" port="443" scheme="https" secure="true" sslProtocol="TLS"/>

Step 5: Start ADAudit Plus.

Hope it helps.

Audit Local Administrator Password Solution(LAPS).

Version 5031 is supposed to include this feature. I've been thru all the menus looking for it. Can someone point me to where I can find it?
thank you,
Jamie

Re : Wildcard Certificate Installation

Thank you for the reply, Bruce.

I needed to convert my certificate into a pks file first, but after that this worked like a charm!

Re : Audit Local Administrator Password Solution(LAPS).

Please go through the below article which will give you a better understanding about the new feature LAPS and also I have included the steps to enable auditing on the tool. 


Steps to Enable Audit:

2. Select the domain name, click 'Update Domain Objects' 
3. Click 'Objects Attributes'

ADAudit Plus will sync the updated schema, then LAPS Rule and the profile will be created. To access LAPS Reports, go to 'Profile based reports', select the domain Name, Under 'Advanced AD Objects Audit', Click 'LAPS Password read.

Re : Error Code 6be

Kinda the same problem here as well:

ADAudit is checking once an hour several DCs.
One of the DCs gives the 6be error every 4 hours (so it goes well 3 times, but the 4th time fails).

What I don't understand is, it's going well 3 times, but fails the 4th time.
Every 4th time.
So, every day I have 6 error mails.

Any ideas on what can cause this?

Re : Managed Service Account

Hi

We have AD Audit and AD Manager running on managed service accounts, but whenever the server is restarted, the service won't start again (logon failure)

We have checked the config as per out other servers using managed service accounts and cant see any discrepancies.

Is there a document to show the inner workings for Manage Engine?

As a workaround, I have to remove the Windows Service from the Product, and then re-create it (using AD Audit and AD Manager's built-in tool).  After entering all the managed service account settings, it's fine (until the next reboot).

The Managed Service Account does have 'logon as a service' rights

Re : Audit Local Administrator Password Solution(LAPS).

What is included in this feature? Does it read event id 4662 from the event log, and reports all password reads?

And I see the additional report profile now, but I can't create a custom report, or schedule/mail a LAPS report. Can you guide me through this, or is this option not available yet?

Thanks!
Tom

Re : Error Code 6be

Hello Corne,

We observed that this error occurs randomly after a few successful attempts to establish communication to the DCs and it is a windows specific error which is being thrown by the operating system itself it there's any latency or glitch in the network traffic and due to a few more environmental factors. Please try changing the 'Event fetch mode' for that DC in ADAudit Plus as follows,

1. Go to 'Support' tab in ADAudit Plus 
2. Under 'Support Info', click on 'more' and then 'DB query' 
3. Click on 'Event Fetch Mode options' 
4. Choose the corresponding servers, select 'EvtQuery' and change 

Hope it helps.
