When inappropriate audit settings are configured for directory service database objects, it may be possible for a user or process to update the data without generating any tracking data. The impact of missing audit data is related to the type of object. A failure to capture audit data for objects used by identification, authentication, or authorization functions could degrade or eliminate the ability to track changes to access policy for systems or data.
This applies to domain controllers. It is NA for other systems. Review the auditing configuration for the Domain object. Open "Active Directory Users and Computers" (available from various menus or run "dsa.msc"). Ensure "Advanced Features" is selected in the "View" menu. Select the domain being reviewed in the left pane. Right-click the domain name and select "Properties". Select the "Security" tab. Select the "Advanced" button and then the "Auditing" tab. If the audit settings on the Domain object are not at least as inclusive as those below, this is a finding. Type - Fail Principal - Everyone Access - Full Control Inherited from - None Applies to - This object only The success types listed below are defaults. Where Special is listed in the summary screens for Access, detailed Permissions are provided for reference. Various Properties selections may also exist by default.

link location and paste anywhere you need to talk
unambiguously about these things.
