Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS) is a managed domain service that allows you to lift-and-shift your on-premises Active Directory resources to the cloud without needing to deploy, manage, patch, or maintain domain controllers.
ADAudit Plus is a UBA-driven, real-time change auditing solution that helps you track and monitor the activities happening within your Azure AD DS environment.
Azure AD DS auditing with ADAudit Plus enables you to:
- Audit all successful and failed logons.*
- Track the creation and deletion of users and computers.
- Monitor group membership changes.
- Identify modifications to GPOs.
- Record password changes and resets.
- Analyze account lockouts.
*Note: NTLM auditing must be enabled to audit logon events from Azure AD DS domains.
Prerequisite: The HTTPS port 443 needs to be opened on the ADAudit Plus server as it is used for the HTTP/REST API and AMQP-over-WebSockets.
This guide takes you through the steps involved in configuring an Azure AD DS domain for auditing in ADAudit Plus.
