GFI has a software package call GFI Events Manager which also offers the capability of monitoring the Security evernts (which are usually configured to capture changes in AD and Exchange)<br />

<br />
This is mainly used to track changes to the system and detect intruders, and security breaches. The data is stored in a seperate database and works very well<br />
<br />
It helps your organization to address the following 4 areas:<br />
<br />
* Information system and network security: Detect intruders and security breaches<br />
* System health monitoring: Proactively monitor your servers<br />
* Legal and regulatory compliance: An aid to meet regulatory compliance<br />
* Forensic investigations: A reference point when something goes wrong.<br />
<br />
I have implemented it a few times and it works very well.
