Web-

Glad it helped.

We run Change Auditor here, sounds like they definitely don’t have it 
configured right as it’s whole purpose is to tell you the who-when-what-where 
info of a given change. I don’t think the how is necessarily possible because 
of how the product works but the who/where could possibly allow you to surmise 
that info.

We have a case  open now for something that isn’t capturing the way we want 
from a foreign provisioning system but it’s been getting the basic data for a 
long time now. If you are willing to suffer the database size, you can store 
awful lot of history on your objects. Kind of cool to pull it out sometimes 
when people won’t fess up to things and give them multiple years of history for 
a given object.

​Bob,



Just had to use this again to find a service account whose password was 
changed.  They do have change control and they are using a product named Change 
Auditor BUT this product is not capturing who is changing passwords, when a pwd 
was changed, from which DC a pwd was changed or how the pwd was changed (ADUC, 
PoSH, cli [don't know if that is even possible to record]).  This command is 
showing them when a pwd was changed and from what DC the change originated but 
nothing else.  I think they need to call support for this Change Auditor 
product.



Thanks (again)

Collecting metadata may be more illuminating. You should be able to reconstruct 
at least some part of the changes to the object  by looking at various 
attributes.

Piece of cake with repadmin /showobjmeta

You can look at WhenChanged on the object to see the last time it was changed.

Of course, if it has been enabled or otherwise touched, that will no longer be 
valid.

​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
