Windows Server 2003 Event Log
Can the event log on a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller keep track of changes made to the user account's Telephone numbers (eg Home, Pager, Mobile, Fax, IP phone) under "Active Directory Users and Computers". That is, if I change the Mobile number of a user account, will this be reflected on the event log? What is the event ID to look out for?

Hi, Yes, it can. You need to enable Audit Directory Services Access policy and configure the auditing for specific Active Directory objects.
