Is there a way to track / audit changes in a NT user's account and who did them? I would like to track all aspects of an non-privileged account. i.e. Group modifications, profile changes.

In User Manager for Domains, open the Policies menu and choose Audit.

Check the box titled "Audit these events."
Check both the "Success" and "Failure" boxes next to "User and Group Management" and "Security Policy Changes." Auditing of User and Group Management events will log changes to Group membership, and other settings for individual accounts. Auditing of Security Poicy Changes will log global changes to password policies, user rights, etc.

Be advised that this enables auditing for ALL user accounts. There is no way (native to Win NT anyway) to enable auditing only on specific accounts.
