More fundamentally, it seems that entire slabs of ITSM are missing from the environment. Technical solutions (e.g. a LMS) are only going to be band-aids over the underlying issue: there’s no real access management and there’s no proper change management (if we are using the ITIL function names).

Well either that or hire someone else to come in and set that up, but I think you could do it.

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.

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.

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. -Aakash Shah From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Webster Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2014 9:58 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] who and when an AD user account disabled 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.
