Re : File Integrity Monitoring not collecting data on DCs

Andy,

ADAudit Plus does not either prompt or attempt to auto configure audit policies and SACLs for File Integrity Monitoring. It does that for 'File Server' monitoring to track changes on shared folders on a File server. 

As the system folders on any server have substantial weight in terms of security and management, we may have to be extra cautious while configuring audit permissions to the folders and any botching the job would cost either the best performance with over logging of events or completely affect the server. This is the major reason as ADAudit Plus wouldn't intend to configure the settings (just for this one) automatically. We might have to handle it manually (We know it's time consuming but rather we do not want to compromise the safety and security of the server).

To troubleshoot the current scenario, I understand you'd configured the necessary settings as per the documentation, however the tests were done on .txt files which do not appear unless we add the file type .txt explicitly. 

By default, FIM is provisioned to monitor any critical file changes to the system folders and it mainly focuses on executable file types. We can add the file type (.txt) and it would then work without any issues. 

Hope it helps.

Bruce

Hi Stephen,

Apologies for the delay,

As a quick fix, please copy the attached "UserDetails.xml" file into "<Installation_Folder>\webapps\adap\jrxml". Please take a copy of the existing "UserDetails.xml" before copying the attached one.

This will remove the "header" details of the CSV file. Please NOTE other formats like PDF, HTML also will get their "header" cleared off.

We are working on a generic solution that allows you to choose with/without the "Header" is in progress, this will be available in our future updates.

Please let us know for any further questions.

Removable Storage Audit Compatibility

Good Morning
I'm writing here because I'd like to have some information about compatibility of Removable Storage Auditing.
I am now using AD Audit Plus installed on a Domain Controller which is WINDOWS 2008 SERVER R2.
In my environment there are many Windows 8.1 Workstation regularly licensed.

Talking about it with my vendor, he told me that the Removable Storage Auditing works only on Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 and superior, like it is said on the software interface when I enable this kind of reports.
Anyway I gave it a try: since my DC is a Windows Server 2008 R2 but my workstation are ok with the requirements, I enabled object access and removable device audit locally on the workstation, and I did a few tests but nothing comes up in the reports.
(I even tried to enable event views for this, as the user Karthik Annavi wrote here:   https://forums.manageengine.com/topic/usb-pen-drive-unauthorized-copies   )

So my question is: even if my wokstation are Windows 8 and 8.1, does this auditing won't work because my DC is 2008 R2 and not 2012 Server?
Do the data are collected through the DC and it is not possible to collect events and data directly by the Ad Audit software taking them by the windows 8 workstation?

My goal is to track all the files copied to USB drives.
In case it is possible, what do I have to do to enable it on the workstation side?

Thank you in advance

ML

The feature does work for workstations with Windows 8 and above OS even if the DCs are with previous Windows server versions. Besides configuring 'Object Access' policy on the corresponding workstations, we need to ensure that those computers are configured in ADAudit Plus and enabled for event collection (This requires workstations add-on subscription) under Configuration tab -> Workstations.

If all above criterias are met, we would be able to monitor file/folder changes done through any removable storage device.

Good afternoon,

Installed ADAudit Plus and is working.  I would like to review the event logs that have been collected prior to the install. 

We configured log path location. 

Thanks!

We could import events from archived security log file in .evt/.evtx format as follows, 

1. Go to Admin tab 
2. Click on 'Import evt/evtx logs 
3. Go to 'Import log path' and enter the location where the log files have been stored 
4. Specify 'Time Interval' as 'Once' and save 

We would be able to view the imported data in the reports then.

Re : Default Domain Controllers Policy/Modified GPO

Steve,

ADAudit Plus does its routine which is based on 'Windows native auditing' and that requires necessary audit policies to be configured. By doing that, we can ensure the event logging in the Domain Controller(s) as it is the motherland for Active Directory and all activities pertaining to it. 

When we install and login to the console for the first time, ADAudit Plus does perform a 'Smart discovery' of the parent domain and get itself synchronized with the Active Directory objects. Besides the domain discovery, it would also check the DCs for audit settings and attempts to configure the necessary policies if we accept the message that would have been shown at top of the web console. 

Even if it is a legitimate one, ADAudit Plus would still report this activity as any actions pertains to AD cannot escape from its eyes. The reason for showing blank in 'who changed' field is, the corresponding report (All under 'Advanced GPO Reports) doesn't depend on security log events and ADAudit Plus has it's own way to track the details of the policy changes occurred. It would be fixed if we have the auddit policies and SACLs configured on DCs as per below links,



Hope it helps.

Steve,

Can you give me a little more detail on the issue? For example, if you can indicate which area in ADAudit Plus you are viewing the event, that would help. If you can even provide a screen capture, that would help more. 

Also, if you take a look at the post from Bruce, if there are any other areas in ADAudit Plus where you get more event details, that would be greatly helpful to know and see.

Finally, going through the docs that Bruce provided, can you verify that all of the SACLs and Audit Policies are set correctly?

Thanks

Manual AdAuditPlus an clustered DataOntap version 9.0??

I wonder if there are any manual how to configure NetApp Filer with clustred DataOntap (cDot) version 9.0?

The manual in the program is not for cDot since the cifs options dont apply to cDot 9.0. I also wonder how AdAudit Plus knows which user to use on Netapp?
I have tried doing it according to different manual I have combined but I only get: "Error in getting Shares, Access is denied - Error Code:5"

Hoping there is a much newer manual!

Thanks

Thank you very much Bruce!

I was away and I could do a few tests on removable devices Audit only in the last days.

I want to ask one more thing:
since I know now how to add the workstation among the configured targeted machines, is it necessary doing what Karthik Annavi says here: https://forums.manageengine.com/topic/usb-pen-drive-unauthorized-copies (creating a new registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\ etc...), or is it enough to activate the Object Access policy under gpedit?

In this case, should I activate only the 'Removable Device' policy, or BOTH the Removable Device policy AND the File System policy are required?

(see the image attached)

Thanks in advance

Help ? No OU Management - GPO Management reporting

December 13, 2016, 6:09 am

Hi all,

I've been working through an eval of ADAudit Plus for a client that wants insight into AD changes in their environment. 

I seem to have had good success setting it up with the provided documentation.

I am however running in to a problem with the OU Management/GPO Management reports. They aren't showing any information even though I've made AD changes to test them specifically. They are continuing to show no data available, even after several days of testing and configuring.

I have ensured that "Directory Service Access" - "Success" is set on the domain controllers I'm making a change on, as well as working through and setting the SACL's for GPO/OU Objects. I believe I've set the SACL's correctly though the verbage in the instructions is a little different than 2012R2.

I've also installed GPMC on the ADAudit Plus server, and am getting some information out of Advanced GPO Reports. The modified time, GPO name and summary are showing but the specific domain controller and who it was modified by are not.

I am monitoring the domain controllers in real time, I've checked the local GPedit.msc to ensure that auditing is actually being applied, and I'm still not finding a reason why I'm not getting the information I expect.

Does anyone have any advice or an idea of where to check?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hi,

The documentation for Clustered DataOntap,
I also wonder how AdAudit Plus knows which user to use on Netapp?
I have tried doing it according to different manual I have combined but I only get: "Error in getting Shares, Access is denied - Error Code:5"
Please use a user from "Domain Admin" group to enumerate shares.  The user configuration should be done in the "Domain Settings" [Admin tab -> Domain Settings -> Modify Credentials]


Please let us know for any further questions.

Hi Ben,

I've also installed GPMC on the ADAudit Plus server, and am getting some information out of Advanced GPO Reports. The modified time, GPO name and summary are showing but the specific domain controller and who it was modified by are not.
The "Domain Controller", "who it was modified" information is retrieved from the "message" of the audit event that gets logged in eventviewer of Domain Controllers.  We suspect logging of the audit events to be the primary reason for this.

To check whether audit policy is properly configured in all your configured DCs, please follow the below steps,
  1. Login in ADAudit Plus
  2. Enter the URL in a new tab : http://<ADAudit Plus_Server>:<Port_Number>/basicCheck.do   eg., http://adap-dc1:8081/basicCheck.do
  3. Click on "Click to view RSOP data"
  4. Select all the Domain Controllers 
  5. Click "Go"


The required missing audit policy is shown in "red" color for easy understanding.  If the policies are configured correctly, then  the event numbers we look are: 5136, 5137 etc.,

Alternatively, if you can email us your contact details to "support@adauditplus.com" we can take a remote view of the computer and fix the problem.

Bala

Rick,

there are already "filtered" group reports for security and distribution. 

Are you dealing with a custom group, for which you want to filter the group type? If so, can you share either the report or custom report so I can take a look on this end and help out?

Thanks

Ben,

Everything you'd done was perfectly alright except for one particular audit entry that was missed. Please login to any DC (PDC would be great), open the command prompt (Run as Administrator), run the following command and observe the result.

auditpol /get /category:"DS Access"

The most needed setting under this category is "Directory Service Changes" which must have been turned off. If you would enable that audit subcategory in 'Default Domain controllers Policy' GPO (assuming all other policies and SACLs are at their finest), you should start seeing events under OU and GPO Management report categories.

Bruce

First of all, If you want to monitor only file/folder activities on computers (Windows 8 and above) through any removable storage devices connected, enabling object access on those computers should suffice. 

If you are looking for any other explicit activities on Removable storage devices on computers (Previous versions before Windows 8), We might need to enable 'Drive Framework user mode logging' for computers through registry.
