    How do you return all the data changes made to a table (inserts, updates, deletes) the past 2 weeks including datetime and who made the changes?

    Unless the table in question has triggers defined on it which write such details to an audit table of some description, you cannot do this.

    You could look at enabling CDC (Change Data Capture) on the tables, from SQL 2008 onwards.
    Have a look at this link:
