Summary

This product demonstration addresses a common IT challenge: managing Active Directory account lockouts that consume help desk resources and create security vulnerabilities. The video introduces ManageEngine ADAudit Plus as a solution for tracking AD lockouts, logon failures, and password change attempts across on-premises and hybrid environments. The tool uses user behavior analytics (UBA) to detect abnormal logon patterns, identify sources of stale credentials, and pinpoint users who frequently experience lockouts. ADAudit Plus provides detailed audit trails showing who performed actions, when they occurred, and from which locations, extending coverage to Windows file servers, NAS devices, workstations, and more. The solution aims to reduce the productivity drain caused by manual troubleshooting of improperly configured AD lockout policies while strengthening security against dictionary attacks and password guessing attempts.
