Well I have tested over and over with different servers and zone types, I can Not get a User ID other than "LocalSystem" to be reported as the "who".  I have tested creating and deleting - Zones, records, and service settings.  All of which are reported as being changed by the system account.
 
I tried to find more information about Event ID's 526 and 529, but I couldn't find anything pertinent to DNS.  Could you send me a link to the info you have? 
 
I am starting to believe that Msft's DNS auditing has some flaws, has anyone ever seen a Security log entry that has the correct User ID for a DNS object change?

I think dynamically registered records are tagged with the system, manually modified are tagged using the admins ID.  (I am using my rusty memory for this reference, so you will want to test my theory).  Also you might have to turn up the AD logging to get the info you are looking for.  All AD Integrated DNS modifications are stored in the security logs, I think you are going to have to look for 526 or 529 Event ID�s , but you will need to search the body of the records to find out which record got modified.  I would mention there is a third-party audit tool that can track and report on the configuration and architecture changes in DNS, but the last I checked they weren�t able to log record changes (TMI).

Subject: [ActiveDir] Integrated Primary DNS Auditing

 

Trying to Audit changes to a DNS zone stored in AD, I have enabled all the native auditing in Group Policy and set SACLs on the Registry and AD objects that are associated with DNS, but the changes are ALL reported by the "System" account.  I am looking for a way to audit WHO made changes to DNS,
