Echoing Eric to some degree, but adding my .02 worth - Auditing is a very valuable, albeit time consuming, process. In my experience, the suggestions for WHAT to audit have been spot on. The problem ALWAYS comes in when one realizes the volume of data. It's been said many times in Security

One caveat to this - if you are going to be accessing a network resource, the default behavior is NOT to wait for the network stack to be initialized before completing computer startup. The obvious problem of not being able to AuthN the user or the computer against AD is handled via cached
