Sorry, what do you want to track? File usage, web site activity, network traffic, administrative changes?

What logging do you have enabled on the domain controllers?

You may also need to put in something a SIEM or log aggregator to be able maintain a centralized reasonable history.

<div>
So at this point without having the log enebled I won´t be able to do anything? there is no 3rd party apps that could do that?

<div>
That's correct you can't retroactively get data that wasn't generated.
</div>


<div>
Yeah, if this is retrospective analysis you can't study what you didn't collect. <br />
<br />
You have not said what type of activity you're looking for.

<div>
that would be file access, remote access and AD changes

How to track a user utilization on my network

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).

Network Analysis

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
