Introduction
Change Auditor for Active Directory drives the security and control of Microsoft Active Directory by proactively
tracking vital Active Directory configuration changes in real time. From GPO and Schema to critical group and
operational changes, Change Auditor for Active Directory tracks, audits, reports, and alerts on changes that impact
your directory — without the overhead costs of native auditing.
You can also track, audit, and report on Azure Active Directory changes. For more information, see the Change
Auditor for Office 365 and Azure Active Directory Auditing User Guide.
In addition to real-time event auditing, you can enable event logging to capture Active Directory or ADAM (AD
LDS) events locally in a Windows event log. These event logs can then be collected using InTrust to satisfy long-
term storage requirements.
NOTE: Active Directory and ADAM (AD LDS) auditing and event logging are only available when you have
licensed Change Auditor for Active Directory. Contact your Sales Representative for more information
about obtaining Change Auditor for Active Directory.

This guide lists the events that can be captured by Change Auditor for Active Directory. Separate event reference
guides are provided that list the core Change Auditor events (when any Change Auditor license is applied) and the
events captured when the different auditing modules are licensed.

attribute event.

Irregular domain replication activity This event identifies replication behavior that may High
detected indicate that DCSync is being used to retrieve
password data through domain replication.
Irregular requests can include:
• Replication activity from the same source and
target computer.
• Replication activity that is initiated by a user
account instead of a computer account.
As an example, DCSync is a command within Mimikatz
that can simulate the behaviour of a Domain Controller
and make replication requests. This activity can result
in someone gaining unauthorized access to user
credentials. The stolen credentials can then be used to
create a golden ticket or silver ticket and can be used
for pass-the-hash and overpass-the-hash scenarios.
This event identifies replication behavior that may
indicate that DCSync is being used to compromise the
security of your network.
