Active Directory Security Audit Reports

Active Directory is the foundation of identity and access management and compliance and auditing in a Microsoft Windows Server based IT infrastructure.

In Windows Server based IT infrastructures, all vital IT components including user and computer accounts, security groups and policies are stored in and protected by Active Directory.
