Auditing Account creation/changes

  • Hi folks, I was wondering if anyone had some pointers on how to use SQL 2008 (and 2005) to audit account creation as well as any changes made to existing accounts such as revoking/granting extra permissions. I think triggers may be the way to go but was wondering if there were some resources anyone knew of to do so. I also know SQL 2008 may have some features in it's improved auditing capablities (Enterprise edition I believe).

    Thanks.

  • Take a look at DDL triggers in BOL. They can capture create, grant, deny and other events. Very useful and pretty easy to set up.
