No.  An employee was terminated and their account was supposed to be disabled 
immediately and the password reset.  But, said terminated employee accessed 
systems at 7:30PM the next day.  It wasn't until two days after termination 
that the account was disabled.  Then on February 5th, someone changed several 
properties of the account.  Now they are trying find out who the "who" is that 
did all this.


Using the stuff Bob Free showed me, I was able to get them of history of all 
the changes made to the account since it was created included the changes made 
on the 5th.  But unfortunately there is no "who" recorded in any of this.


They were appreciative of what Bob showed me how to retrieve.

Surely someone raised an ticket or service request in some system somewhere? 
That would give you a starting point for isolating the date/time. And then 
whoever closed the ticket as being completed is probably the person that did 
the work.

Probably a long shot, but any chance that they have backups of their DCs from 
December?  It's possible that a backup job caught the logs when this event 
still existed, and so you may be able to see who/when it was disabled.

Alternatively, if this account happens to be used as a service account 
somewhere, perhaps the logs from that workstation/server may indicate when it 
stopped working and this may at least help illuminate when this problem started.

?Their Security event log has already wrapped in the last 4 hours so I doubt I 
will be able to go back to December when they think the account was 
mysteriously disabled.

If auditing of that is enabled, not sure what the default is... .yes. Event ID 
4725 for user accounts in 2008.  On 2003 it was 629.

Is it possible, using PoSH or another utility, to find out who disabled a 
user's account and when it happened?  All DCs are 2008 R2 and DFL/FFL are both 
2008 R2.

Thanks
