--Simplify Security Reporting Using Audit Collection Services
by John Howie

on SQL Server Reporting Services, which simplifies the task of
collecting and auditing security event log events on multiple Windows

of useful reports, accessible through a Web browser, on security event
types including access violations, account management events, forensic
reports, planning, system integrity, and usage.

report, and recover the ever-changing state of their AD infrastructure.

tools leave off.
