Before / after, undo / redo

Measuring the effect of a fix

Analysis > Before / after... (Ctrl+Shift+B) compares the domain with its reference point:

  • by default, the state of the domain when it was opened or created;
  • or the current state, after Analysis > Set the reference point here, just before starting a fix.

Before / after comparison

Element Content
Audit score before → after, green when it improves, red when it drops
Estimated ANSSI level before → after
Fixed findings present at the reference point, gone since
New findings appeared since: a fix can create another one
Changes objects added, removed or modified, with the changed fields

Screenshot: in the documentation demo, giving the Schema Admins group back to Domain Admins fixes finding ACL-01, and the score goes from 55 to 58.

A fix can bring up a finding

Always check the New findings tab: fixing an object can move the problem elsewhere. An account removed from a protected group keeps adminCount = 1, for example, and the audit reports it as an orphaned adminCount: in a real AD, SDProp does not reset this attribute.

Refresh runs the comparison again after further changes, without closing the window.

Undo and redo

Action Shortcut
Undo Ctrl+Z (Edit > Undo)
Redo Ctrl+Y or Ctrl+Shift+Z (Edit > Redo)
  • History keeps up to 100 states. Each state is a full copy of the domain, so no change escapes undo.
  • A change made in the details panel is recorded when the selection changes, or when you undo.
  • The tree's selection and expanded nodes are kept, even when undoing a rename.
  • History starts over when a file is opened or a domain is created.
