SETAUD.EXE Auditing Utility

The built in auditing in NDS is a very cool feature. Some would argue that it is really indispensable in some environments. The ability to track logins and logouts plus any modification to the NDS database is vital if you want to build a secure network.

The problem is that the front-end to auditing, auditcon.exe, is awkward at best. If you work for an educational-type establishment you will probably have to create a number of OU's for new students every year, or worse have other admins do it, then fire up auditcon, enable auditing and get all the settings right.

setaud.exe helps you, as you can create a template file with the events to audit, you then simply invoke setaud.exe, directly or from an automated procedure that creates the users. As an added bonus setaud can also disable auditing and clear out the logfiles before you delete an OU and also export the auditing logs in a format suitable for importing into Excel.
