Hi,

I am looking for a group policy setting which enables logging of OU creation in active directory

I have explored few settings inside "Computer Configuration” ➔ “Policies” ➔ “Windows Settings” ➔ “Security Settings” ➔ “Advanced audit policy configuration” ➔ “Audit Policies" but did not find any which enables logging of a OU creation.
