The following table describes the reports that are implemented in this release of the Active Directory Management Pack (ADMP).

Name	Report description	Required	Description/instructions
AD Domain Changes	The purpose of the AD Domain Changes report is to display any events seen on the monitored domain controllers that would indicate a change in the role of that domain controller. The report displays any events collected on a monitored domain controller with the event ID of 16408, 12297, or 16652. These events are internal to Windows Server and indicate specific changes in the domain controllers operation on the domain.	Start Data, End Data, and Time Zone Object Type	Start Data, End Data, and Time Zone: Date information regarding when the data used in the report should be collected. Object Type: The specific domain controllers to list in the report. If individual domain controllers are chosen, the Active Directory Domain Controller Computer Role objects must be chosen. To run a report containing all domain controllers, a user can add the AD Domain Controllers Group for each version of Windows Server supported (currently 2000, 2003, and 2008).
AD Domain Controllers	The AD Domain Controllers report displays a list of domain controllers monitored by the ADMP. For each domain controller, the IP Addresses, Active Directory Site, Windows Version, and Fully Qualified Domain Name are displayed.

AD Role Holders	The AD Role Holders report is probably the report that is most used by customers, because it gives a detailed list of the domains, forests, and domain controllers that make up the environment.
