ManageEngine ADAudit Plus Primary Use Case
This is a use case for users encountering failures in logging on and attempts to embed names. The focus is on common scenarios where some devices and an engineer log in. When they reset the password, their existing safety password may remain stored in the device's credential manager. Then users might end up auto-logging. Diagnosis support or root cause analysis can help system engineers identify which devices had failed login attempts and which usernames tried to embed passwords. This allows them to easily resolve the issue.

We use ADAudit Plus to track all the login events for each user, including all the domain accounts for every employee. If there are multiple machines and users attempting to log in, and there are login failures on one of them, it can be challenging to identify the specific machine causing the issue.
For example, if a user has left their phone at home, which is configured with their email password, and the password has expired, it may result in repeated failed login attempts due to the auto-login feature in Exchange. This can lead to the user's account being locked out.
ADAudit Plus provides excellent analysis to pinpoint the exact problem and understand why the user is experiencing difficulties. These insights are unique to this tool and greatly assist us in managing such frequently occurring issues. As a result, it helps reduce IT operational incidents related to user account login issues.

View full review »ADAudit supports local Active Directory change management. When there is a change, the event is logged in the domain controller or on the member server and it immediately alerts the administrator.
You can get a notification when a user logs on after hours. For example, say you have a business-critical server containing all the financial data. If someone logs onto that machine after work hours, you'll get a notification telling you who is logging in and why.
