AD Reports

What AD Reports is

AD Reports is a Windows application for producing reports on on-premises Active Directory and Azure Entra ID, including SOX auditing reports. Its library contains more than 400 predefined reports covering users, groups, computers, Group Policy Objects, Exchange, printers, and NTFS permissions. Azure Entra ID reporting uses Microsoft Graph API and supports custom OData filters and selectable directory properties. For hybrid identity environments, Hybrid Identity Gap Analysis compares on-premises Active Directory users with an Entra ID tenant to identify mismatches such as synchronization gaps and UPN suffix differences.

Reports can be scheduled for unattended generation and delivery, and the scheduler can run as a Windows service. The audit module includes nine built-in profiles, such as PCI-DSS Quarterly and SOC 2 Annual, and can run up to four reports in parallel. Export formats include PDF, CSV, TXT, XLS, RTF, and HTML. NTFS permission reports scan local or UNC paths and check for orphaned SIDs, open access, broken inheritance, and folder owners. Seventeen Azure security and activity reports require Entra ID P1 or P2 licensing; Azure device and stale guest user reports are identified as free-tier reports. The product is intended for IT administrators, security teams, compliance officers, and managed service providers. A one-year Professional license costs $299 a year per license.

Who it suits

AD Reports is suited to IT administrators, security teams, compliance officers, and managed service providers working with on-premises Active Directory or Azure Entra ID. Its hybrid identity and NTFS reports may also help teams checking directory mismatches and permissions.
