assess, and secure Windows desktop and server infrastructure from a central location. Using this inventory, organizations can seed the local administrator groups across server infrastructure and some of the largest local administrator groups that exist today. Using the details in the report, you can further understand membership paths and whether these accounts are disabled or how old these passwords have been in the organization. Other reports in the Networks Enterprise Auditor for Windows solution set, allow our clients to see log-on rights and things such as local security policies across the same Windows infrastructure. We'll show things in this report such as log-on locally, log-on batch, log-on as a service, or even how folks are able to log-on through remote desktop services. At the end of this solution set, clients enjoy the security assessment that allow them to prioritize the high, medium, and low findings by severity. These could include other misconfigurations across the organization and environment, such as WDigest, LSA protection, and other password security findings.

TL;DR

  • Netwrix Enterprise Auditor provides centralized visibility into Windows infrastructure security, inventorying local admin groups, logon rights, and security policies across servers and desktops.
  • The platform identifies oversized administrator groups, tracks membership paths, and reveals account status including disabled accounts and password age to reduce privilege creep.
  • Security assessments prioritize vulnerabilities by severity, flagging misconfigurations like WDigest exposure and LSA protection gaps to enable proactive remediation before breaches occur.

Summary

This demonstration showcases Netwrix Enterprise Auditor for Windows, a centralized security auditing solution designed to inventory, assess, and secure Windows desktop and server infrastructure. The platform provides comprehensive visibility into local administrator group memberships across server environments, revealing membership paths, account status, and password age. Beyond administrative access monitoring, the solution audits logon rights and local security policies, tracking permissions for local logon, batch processing, service accounts, and remote desktop access. The tool culminates in a prioritized security assessment that categorizes findings by severity level, identifying misconfigurations such as WDigest vulnerabilities, LSA protection gaps, and password security weaknesses. Organizations gain actionable intelligence to proactively address security risks before they escalate into breaches, with all monitoring and reporting managed from a single centralized interface.
