Domain Audit

Hi All,
I'm using the Domain audit log to trace GWT calls.
I set the TM_GW_AUDITLOG_ENHANCE=yes.
But still the statistics times does not show millisecond only seconds which make it hard to figure out the real timing.

Hi Tony,
Tuxedo processes do not pick up environment variable changes immediately. They need to be rebooted.
Are these steps similar to what you followed?
1)tmshutdown the domain group of interest (shutting down just the GWTDOMAIN might work but I would do it for the whole group, GWTDOMAIN+GWADM)
2)set the environment variable TM_GW_AUDITLOG_ACCURATE=YES (try checking it after with an "env|grep AUDIT" to see if it set)
3)tmboot the domain group
There are sometimes issues if you are trying to set environment variables from a shell script(e.g. syntax issues) or ENVFILE.
Are you setting the environment variable manually from the shell command prompt, by using a shell script before tmboot, or using ENVFILEs that are defined in the UBB config file?
If you still don't get millisecond logging let me know the platform and shell you are using (also the Tuxedo release version and patch level if different than previously mentioned).
Regards,
Bob

Audit/Log GPO changes and Logging of new addition of Domain Controllers in the Event Log

Hi all,
We am trying to log the following items in the event log for Windows 2012. This applies to a domain controller.
1) Audit any changes made to the Group Policy
2) Log the addition of new domain controllers added to the system.
We need the windows event log to record the above events for security purposes. Can anyone advise if this is doable? If yes what are the steps.
Thank you

Hi,
>>1) Audit any changes made to the Group Policy
We can enable audit for directory service object access and configure specific SACL for group policy files to do this.
Regarding how to step-to-step guide for auditing changes of group policy, the following two blogs can be referred to for more information.

>>2) Log the addition of new domain controllers added to the system.
Based on my knowledge, when a server is successfully promoted to be domain controller, event ID 29223 will be logged in the System log.
Regarding this point, the following thread can be referred to for more information.
Is an Event ID for a completed Domain Controller promotion logged on the PDC?

Can I get the Mac address in Audit logs of Active directory server for the user's machine which connect to the network/Domain

Hello All,
I am trying to get the information of all the user's who connect to our Domain network by signing in using the domain account. For this I am using the Windows audit group policies ( I am not sure of there is any other way). I can see when the user tries
to login to the network there is a audit event created on the AD/DC server. I can see the Kerberos authentication and logon/logoff events in the audit events under event viewer.
However the info which is being populated in these events include :- Hostname, IP address, Username and so on... But I can't see the MAC address of the user machine/system. Is there any way I can
get the Mac address of the endpoint system as its one of the important criteria for our project.
Any inputs on this would be appreciated, incase if there is any other way other than group policies please suggest.
Thanks,
Kavish

If you use DHCP, you can query the DHCP server. There's no builtin
method to get the MAC address directly.

Domain advanced audit policy not taking effect on DC.

Hi.
I'm having a strange problem getting an advance audit policy to take effect on one of my domain controllers, we'll call it DC1. I have two DCs on this network, and both are in the same OU, however behave wildly differently with the same policy.
For example, on DC1 when I run group policy results wizard from GPMC, I can see the local policy/audit policy settings, but no settings for advanced audit configuration are shown. However, if I log into DC1 itself and look at local security policy,
it shows settings in both areas.
No matter what changes I made to either area in the domain policy nothing would change in the local security policy on the system when refreshing group policy on the DC. It was as if it were stuck somehow. If I used the auditpol /get /category:* command
it showed default audit settings, and that's it.
I figured I would try to clear them and set them manually, and so I did an auditpol /clear, and now it says No Auditing for all categories. In addition to this, I did a gpupdate /force and it still said no auditing in all cagegories after displaying them
with auditpol /get /cagories:*. On DC2 which is in the same OU, when running the group policy result wizard, it shows both advance audit, and basic auditing settings being applied.
If I look in the local security policy it shows no auditing for all basic audit settings, and all the advanced audit settings as being set. Which should be the case when Audit: force audit policy subcategory settings is set (which it is). However, unlike
DC1, instead of showing No auditing, it shows all of the advanced audit configuration settings when I type auditpol /get /categories: * at the command prompt, and it's gpresults look good. I even cleared the audit policy off of DC2, and got it to show "no
auditing" before doing a gpupdate, and all it's settings came back. Not so with DC1. DC1 seems to apply all other group policy settings without issue.

Hi,
Based on your description, we can use the command auditpol/clear to remove all audit settings, find the audit.csv file existing in the GPOs in which we configured audit settings,
delete the audit.csv file, and then configure the audit setting via group policy to see if it works as expected.
The path for the audit.csv file:
%systemroot%\Sysvol\sysvol\domainname\Policies\GPOs\Machine\
Microsoft\Windows NT\Audit

Time-domain accuracy of Audition's filter functions

Sorry to start a new thread. This is an intended reply to previous, but the reply buttons are not functional. (Not a problem listed in FAQs as far as I could find. Perhaps mods can clarify?). Anyway, the original thread, for context:

Thanks for your reply, Steve. I'm not sure why that would be a 'very strange question' though. 'Brick wall' refers to the sharp transition between pass band and stop band. It's a commonly used term. I prefixed with 'near', since I'd ordinarily moderate the transition to avoid Gibbs phenomenon.
I understand the relative merits of FIR vs IIR re consistent delays, and I would not consider using IIR in this case. The question was intended in context of Audition's filter implementations. It -is- possible to avoid delays by doing an FFT, applying coefficients to the FFT output, then IFFT. But I'm not sure there is more to the approach used in Audition's "FFT Filter". IOW, I was looking for insights on what delays (if any) to expect from the Audition "FFT filter". I hope that is more clear.

It's not mentioned because there's nothing at all wrong with it - as this reply attests...

It's a term certainly, and I know exactly what it is - but it's not a mode, as such. The mode of a filter would imply something about the structural content of the filter - IIR and FIR are modes, if you like - but brick wall only refers to settings.
I understand the relative merits of FIR vs IIR re consistent delays, and I would not consider using IIR in this case.
Ah, that's the crux of the problem. It's not even remotely possible to tell you what the effect would be, because we have no idea of what you are using it for - you will have to be a lot more explicit.

Reboot domain controller changes audit policy on Default Domain Controller Policy

This has been happening for a long time no matter whether my DCs were running Windows Server 2003 or, as they are now, are running Windows Server 2012 R2. It happens on DCs in one particular site, but the policy change it causes is domain-wide.
I have 2 DCs at that site, every time one of them is rebooted, the following policy is turned off, from Success and Failure to No auditing:
Default Domain Controllers Policy - Computer Configuration - Policies - Windows Settings - Security Settings - Local Policies/Audit Policy.
I have monitoring application relying on this policy being turned on, and if it's off, it's being reported. The monitoring application knows the change, but it doesn't know how the change was made.
All my DCs are running Windows Server 2012 R2, DFL 2008 R2.
Thanks and regards.

Hi,
>>I have 2 DCs at that site, every time one of them is rebooted, the following policy is turned off, from Success and Failure to No auditing:
Did we try to run command gpresult/h report.html with admin privileges to collect group policy result report to check how the policy setting was applied after rebooting? Besides, we can also try to run command
auditpol /get / category:* from an elevated command prompt to check what audit settings are applied.

Default domain controller policy audit

If I enable auditing in default domain controller policy, I see event only from all domain controller or see event from all workstation in domain, or I should create new audit GPO and then linked it to workstation UO?

---NO you wont see workstations, only if editing the default domain policy, as described prior best practice would be to create a new GPO with a great name that you
wont mix up such as "workstation audit GPO" and link to the site, domain or OU you require.
Its not great practise IMO adding loads of stuff to default domain policy when you want to troubleshoot best to segregate GPOS with great easy to
interpret names for brevity

Is it possible for Windows 2008R2 Domain Controllers to audit when a programs are installed/uninstalled on clients and send alerts to Admins?

We have a program called Audit Wizard that we used with Windows 2003 that monitored all clients and alerted my department when a program was installed/uininstalled. since upgrading to windows server 2008R2, the program no longer works correctly.
So we are wondering if it is possible for Windows 2008R2 Domain Controllers, running at a 2008R2 forest and domain level) to be able to audit when a programs are installed/uninstalled on clients and send alerts to our Admins?
If so, How?
Thanks in advance for your help!

As far as I know, group policy can't help us do this. If you are interested, we can take a look at System Center Operation Manager and ask for suggestions in the following SCOM forum.

"Compliance and Audit Database domain account is not valid" error

I am attempting to install MBAM 2.5 and on the configure reports page I am getting an error stating "Compliance and Audit Database domain account is not valid" when trying to specify the account. I am using the same account as the read only
access domain user specified on the Configure Databases page.
The account is not locked out and I reset the password but no dice. Any idea what is going on here? This is my second attempt at an install (removed all previous install pieces including the databases).

I had the exact same problem. I had to add the account to the local administrators group in order to proceed. The installation then informs you that the account is an administrator at the end.
I removed it from the admins group. Doesn't seem to have caused any problems. Everything is working OK.

2008 R2 SP1 Domain Controllers Local Audit Settings

Question for the forum -- On a DC should the Audit settings in Local Security Policy (under administration tools) match the Audit settings that are set in the Default Domain Controller
policy in Active Directory?
My default domain controller policy has a lot of stuff set for auditing -- when I look at the local policy it shows "No Auditing" -- I can't change it as I would expect
When I run RSOP.MSC I see that the DC is getting its auditing settings from the Default Domain Controller Policy.
When I look at the event log -- I would expect to see more events being logged -- and I don't. Its logging events in the security log -- but I don't see anything for account management activities where it set to success & failure
in the default domain controller security policy.
Thanks.

Hi,
Did you enable Advanced Audit Policy Configuration? If yes,
The audit policy under Computer Configuration\Polices\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policy will not work.
I recommend you to run command
auditpol.exe /get /category:*to
check the audit policy. If account management policy do not applied, we could check if the following file exists:
Windows\SYSVOL\sysvol\domain name\Policies\ {6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04fB984F9}\MACHINE\Microsoft\ Microsoft NT\ audit.csv
If yes, we could delete it and then refresh the group policy.

How to audit Dynamically Reconfigured domains?

Hi,
I hope someone can help me.
Is there a way to know when domains have been added or removed using dynamic reconfiguration (DR)?
Is there a Log File or a record of performance changes that will indicate when/ if DR has been done?
Thank you so much in advance,

Changing From Workgroups to Domain

Hi Alli know this has been floating around the community but i have not seen a answer that explains what i need. Here goes.I am support a company with over 500+ users across 4 sites.At our main site, they have decided to change to a domain instead of a workgroup.i have been told this last minute and i have no experience in domain, we do not have a budget to hire a third party consultant so it has all landed on my head and i am in a little to deep.i do not know what the best way to convert to domain and to be quite honest i wouldnt know how.The issue i face is that 1- i am not experienced to do this migration 2 - our router currently runs as our DHCP & DNS so i will need to workout what we are going to do to insure minimal downtime.basically guy i need a step by step, i understand most of you dont have time to write something like that...

Windows Server 2008 R2: Server unable to authenticate with Domain Controller

Hello, I was wondering what could be the reason for this error if it is certain that there was no other computer on the network using the same name:
This computer could not authenticate with<Domain-controller>, a Windows domain controller for domain <Domain-name>, and therefore this computer might deny logon requests. This
inability to authenticate might be caused by another computer on the same network using the same name or the password for this computer account is not recognized.
What would cause the machine account pw to be 'not recognized'?

You can track changes in AD by enabling AD Auditing: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731764%28v=ws.10%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
As reading the logs is usually a complicated and time consuming task, it is recommended to use a third party tool for auditing. The one I usually recommend is Lepide Auditor - Active Directory: http://www.lepide.com/lepideauditor/active-directory.html
