Don Jones: Top 5 Active Directory Events Auditors Look For

 See what Don Jones calls the keys to successful audits

The key to a successful – or at least less-stressful – audit is preparedness. What are the auditors looking for? The quicker you can get it to them, the quicker you can get back to your job. Of course, auditors come in asking for a wide variety of reports, such as lists of disabled security principals, locked-out accounts and accounts that haven’t been used in a few months. Good auditors, however, will be looking for a select few events within Active Directory. You can save yourself time – and make your environment more secure – by routinely looking for these same activities yourself.

1) Changes to Groups
Not just any group, but those key groups--Domain Admins, Enterprise Admins, and any other group with a great deal of delegated privileges. Any group that can change other groups’ memberships or perform other highly-sensitive operations are always worthy of close attention.

2) Use of Privilege
This can include enabling disabled user accounts, or modifying permissions in the directory. Most auditors simply want to see corresponding documentation that explains why the change was made, who approved it, and so forth. It’s changes without that documentation that are a problem.
