Today’s Free Tool of the Day, Netwrix Logon Reporter, is a purpose-built product that automatically consolidates and archives all types of logon events from all Active Directory domain controllers and provides rich reporting capabilities. Logon auditing is one of the biggest priorities for many organizations because it provides clear visibility into user activity and is required by most security standards and compliance regulations. Tracking and analysis of both successful and failed (invalid) logon and logoff events across an entire network can be very complicated with built-in Active Directory tools, but Netwrix Logon Reporter provides clear and accurate accounts of all logon activities. The product stores data in a central location and ensures that no events are lost because of log overwrites.
