Connection to Microsoft 365 Tenant in Netwrix Auditor Completes with Error Validating Your Account’s Rights and Permissions

Symptom​

When trying to connect to Office 365 Tenant using modern authentication, the following error appears:

Error validating your account’s rights and permissions: Tenant name 'Tenant_name' specified is not a valid DNS name.

Cause​

The issue occurred due to incorrect Office 365 tenant credentials provided in Netwrix Auditor.

Resolution​

Make sure you provided the same parameters in a Netwrix Auditor monitoring plan and Microsoft Office 365 Admin center.

  1. Tenant name in Netwrix should equal the Directory (tenant) ID in Microsoft Office 365 Admin center.
  2. Modern authentication application ID should equal Application (client) ID in Microsoft Office 365 Admin center.
