Securing your Audit Trail
This Audit Trail is saved by default in the standard Windows Event Log.
This is a standard tool for technical Audit Trails and compliance logs. As such, numerous tools and tutorials about Windows Settings are available to secure Windows Event Log.
We recommend:
- enabling Windows file auditing on the AD Unlocker Pro Event log file, and
- automatically forwarding your logs to a remote and secured server.
