Case Study: State of Maine achieves streamlined compliance and secure Active Directory auditing with Netwrix Auditor

Auditing Active Directory to Comply with State and Federal Regulations

The State of Maine’s IT department needed to audit its distributed Active Directory environment to meet state and federal auditing and archiving regulations. With delegated administrative boundaries across agencies, they had to reliably know who made what changes, when and where, but found native Microsoft tools cumbersome and third‑party options either costly or requiring complex infrastructure changes.

They deployed Netwrix Active Directory Change Reporter, which delivered real‑time alerts and detailed reports without schema changes or performance impact. Deployment was quick, bandwidth use was low, and features like archiving and change reversion gave the team clear visibility to meet compliance requirements — a solution that met and exceeded expectations while streamlining regulatory reporting.
