How to find a new entry in Active Directory

How to find a new entry in Active Directory. I monitor the AD on daily basis. I can’t find which the new Entry in OU’s.
Especially I faced more critical to find new computer object under Computers.
Is there any way to find it.

LDAP search is the recommaned method to filter objects in Active Directory .
Meanwhile here are some utilities for you to easily search and monitor Active Directory database .

Hi Mani_Admin,
Thanks for your update
Yes, this can be done by the search feature in Active Directory Explorer utility ,please following the workaround below to achieve your
goal.
·
Open the utility and connect to your domain.
·
Navigate to the “Computers” container in left tree ,right click it and choose “Search Container”
·
In Search Container window, choose “computer” class.
·
Add two conditions to search
Displayname notempry
whenCreated notempry
·
Click Search to show all the results .

Now you could get the newly joined computer by click “whenCreated” column in result .

Save the search by click “SAVE” botton, so that you could perform same search in future.
