Real-time visibility into every Active Directory query
Determining what applications and users are accessing Active Directory (AD) is nearly impossible using Microsoft-provided tools, fraught with risk and can cause AD environments to come to a crashing halt if not monitored correctly. Our Active Directory query tool provides real-time tracking, analysis and reporting on LDAP queries, eliminating the time and complexity required for auditing.
If high-severity events occur, Change Auditor alerts us by email, so we can determine whether the change was made properly through our change management process or is a malicious act by a hacker.

FAQ
An Active Directory query tool helps organizations monitor, analyze, and report on LDAP queries made against Active Directory. It provides visibility into who or what is querying directory data, helping IT teams troubleshoot performance issues, identify inefficient applications, detect suspicious activity, and maintain a healthy Active Directory environment.
Real-time monitoring helps administrators quickly identify excessive, inefficient, or unauthorized LDAP queries that can impact domain controller performance or indicate potential security threats. By providing immediate visibility and alerts, organizations can resolve issues faster, reduce downtime, and improve the overall health of Active Directory.
Unlike native tools that often require manual log collection and analysis, Change Auditor provides centralized, real-time visibility into LDAP query activity through an intuitive interface. It simplifies troubleshooting with searchable reports, automated alerts, and detailed insights into Active Directory query sources, execution times, and resource usage.
Yes. Change Auditor helps identify applications, users, and services that rely on specific domain controllers or directory objects before, during, and after migration projects. This visibility helps reduce migration risk, uncover dependencies, and validate that applications continue functioning as expected after changes are made.
Change Auditor analyzes LDAP query activity to identify high-volume or inefficient queries that place unnecessary load on domain controllers. With detailed reporting and real-time monitoring, administrators can pinpoint performance bottlenecks, optimize applications, and maintain a more responsive Active Directory environment.
