Create Account Changes Report

Account_Changes_Report_Creation_Only_Rule (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This rule creates a report viewing account change events. The report is named AD Account Changes.

Resolutions

The purpose of this rule is to allow for the Account Changes Report to be generated while turning off the alerts notifying you that it was generated. This can help reduce the noise generated by the AD MP.

To stop this report from generating, disable the rule 'Create Account Changes Report'.

To generate the report while turning off the alerts enable the rule 'Create Account Changes Report' and disable the rule 'Create Account Changes Report and Alert'.
