Measures reported by RegistryMgntTest

Typically, changes to the Windows Registry have to be carried out carefully, and on a need-only basis. If such changes are wrongly done, particularly on a mission-critical server such as the Active Directory server, they can adversely impact the availability, operations, and performance of the server. AD administrators therefore need to have their eyes open for registry changes, capture such changes as and when they occur, and find out what changed and who did it. To achieve this, administrators can use the RegistryMgntTest test.  

This test tracks registry changes on the AD server and notifies administrators when such changes are made. The detailed diagnostics of the test additionally describes the registry entry that was changed and the user who made the change. With the help of this information, administrators can figure out whether/not the change was valid and was done by an authorized person.

Output of the test : One set of results for every Active Directory site that is being monitored
