If you enable auditing of account management in the Domain Controllers Security
Policy an event will be recorded in the security log on one of the domain
controllers, probably Event ID 632. The same can be done for a local computer
security policy if this user was added to the administrators group on a domain
computer. Any administrator however can clear the security logs though that itself
will record an event with the user name that cleared the log. The link below goes
into a lot more detail on auditing if interested. --- Steve
