Exporting log data security of a Windows Active Directory
Usually the logs of everything that you use within the operating system are located in the directory where they are installed. Since you want to monitor the timeline of the Windows Active directory, you need to follow the steps below.
-
First see that which directory is the Windows Active Directory.
-
After that see if the create log option is set to on or active on the directory.
-
If it is already on then it’s ok, otherwise activate it and click ok.
-
After that you will see a notepad.txt in the directory with the name of LOG.TXT
-
This file normally has all the information related to the directory from the starting time till the end time. You can use it for sure to accomplish whatever you are trying to do.
