Policy Templates: Local User/Domain Controller Account Tracker

NOTE: This template applicable to Windows OS only.

Netwrix Change Tracker can also be used to track changes to Local User Account Settings. Typically local User Accounts should be limited and usage restricted in favor of centralized identity and access management authority such as a Domain Controller. As such the monitoring of local user accounts is a key security consideration.

NOTE: When an Netwrix Change Tracker Agent is used on a Domain Controller, tracking the local user accounts will in effect track the Domain user accounts – in cases where this is not required, uncheck the Track account information on Domain Controllers box to limit tracking to just the Built-In accounts only.

There is minimal configuration required to activate the Change Tracker – just check the Track local user account settings in this template box and define the poll period then save settings to the Template. Any changes to the initial baseline will be alerted and reported.
