Change Auditor from Quest (formerly NetPro) for AD and their Security Manager for the OS.
Others have products in that space, NetIQ, the original Quest products like Intrust, etc. They can quickly become behemoths by the time you get all the associated infrastructure deployed. If you want something "smaller" I have always though Active Administrator from Scriptlogic (formerly Smallwonders product) was pretty amazing in its breadth of capabilities. If I was looking for a product for a small-mid size environment that didn't have any AD management capabilities at all, I would look at it first. Depends on what you already have in place, it would have had way too much overlap with other 3rd party stuff we had in place. From: David W.

Per the audit staff we need something to show all AD changes/adds/deletes by whom, and when. All OS file changes/adds/deletes by whom, and when. Anyone have anything other than Tripwire?? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
