Auditing Active Directory Searches

[MS Newsgroups]

Perhaps you could use performance monitor and connect to the DC you are
running your searches against, and use the NTDS performance object to get
some info. Probably not as detailed as SQL profiler....

Does anyone know of a way to audit searches against Active Directory?

Something like SQL Profiler with SQL Server?

Any input or suggestion would certainly be appreaciated.

Hi Dustin,

if you don't use LDAP via TLS you are able to read the "queries" with a network
monitor.

You can search it with our freeware tool such as Lepide Active Directory Query. Type in your desired query and it will give you the specific reports.

Have a look at this link..

Download and test the tool.

Hope it helps thanks.
