There probably will not be anything. I did some testing and found that the
only time there is any 'text' as to what was changed is when the password is
changed or when the "Password never expires" box is checked. Changing most
of the other attributes ( 'most' due to the fact that I did not change each
and every one! ) results in the basic, generic text.
Now, I also did some testing for groups - both Security ( or, better put -
security enabled ) and Distribution ( sometimes, but not always - security
disabled ) Groups. If you simply change the description or what no on
either of these there is a 641 and a 654 EventID with the simple text that
something changed. However, if you add or remove a user account object from
either of these groups then you get a more useful description of what
happened.
