The
Audit account management
setting determines whether to audit each account management event
on a computer. Examples of account management events include:
•
A user account or group is created, changed, or deleted.
•
A user account is renamed, disabled, or enabled.
•
A password is set or changed.
Organizations need to be able to determine who has created, modified, or deleted both domain and
local accounts. Unauthorized changes could indicate mistaken changes made by an administrator
who does not understand how to follow corporate policies or a deliberate attack. The following table
includes some of the important security events that this setting records in the Security Event Log.
