Quickly analyze Active Directory permissions
Quickly analyze Active Directory permissions
Compliance requirements driven by GDPR, PCI, HIPAA, and other mandates demand detailed user activity monitoring, particularly for users who have access to critical and sensitive data. SolarWinds® Access Rights Manager (ARM) is designed to deliver customized Active Directory auditing and AD reporting metrics—showing who has access to what, and when they accessed this data. Power the incident response process with drill-down details on user access and activity with the ARM Active Directory audit tool. Learn MoreAudit-ready compliance reports
Audit-ready compliance reports
The faster you can answer an auditor’s questions, the easier (and less painful) the audit will be. With SolarWinds Access Rights Manager, you can quickly deliver comprehensive Active Directory access and permissions reports directly to your auditor. The ARM Active Directory security audit tool logs the identities of anyone who has made changes to AD, file servers, SharePoint permissions, and MS Exchange. With Active Directory audit-ready reports, your auditor can get the answers they need fast. And you won’t have to spend any time tracking down audit logs or making sense of outdated spreadsheets— with automated report scheduling and delivery directly to your auditor, built to help speed up Active Directory audits and assessments.

User account provisioning
Provisioning, modifying, or deprovisioning user access in Active Directory can be easily managed using role-based templates to help ensure consistency with your organization's security policies. With just a few clicks, a new AD user can be created, identity access rights can be changed, or a user can be deprovisioned to help comply with regulatory audits—such as GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, or more.

Capture Active Directory actions
Deepen the level of security and capture activities within directories containing personal data. ARM’s Active Directory audit tools also show changes made outside of ARM. In this way, temporary group memberships and the resulting, often uncontrolled, permissions become immediately transparent. ARM also informs you proactively via the alerts feature if someone attempts to manipulate the rights and membership of a sensitive security group.

Diagnose domain controller performance issues
Monitoring domain controllers will let you know whether the CPU usage has reached its threshold, a user account is locked, or if a login issue is present. Active Directory performance monitoring from SolarWinds® Server & Application Monitor (SAM) gives insight into Active Directory issues related to:
- User account: Account creation, password change and reset attempts, disabled and deleted user accounts
- Security policy: Domain and system policy changes, data recovery
- System: Firewall settings and other system changes, currently running services
Monitor LDAP sessions
Monitor LDAP sessions
Monitoring the NTDS object counter will indicate the number of clients connected to an LDAP session. Server & Application Monitor’s Active Directory monitoring software provides insight into monitoring LDAP sessions. The number of clients connected can significantly impact the server load. Therefore, monitoring the NTDS object counters helps ensure there is never a server overload connected to a specific LDAP session. In addition, SolarWinds SAM provides insight into LDAP statistics, such as LDAP active threads, bind time, client sessions, successful binds/sec, and searches/sec.

Directory services such as replication are critical to maintaining high availability of Active Directory servers. Server & Application Monitor notifies you when your directory servers fail to replicate, which prevents end-users from accessing various folders and files. Server & Application Monitor also provides detailed performance statistics related to directory services such as distributed file system, DFS replication, intersite messaging, DNS client, Windows time, RPC, server and workstation services, Active Directory domain services, web services, and more.
