Hi,
Agree.
Since Administrator audit logging is enabled by default, we can firstly use the command below to verify the it’s enabled:
Get-AdminAuditLogConfig | FL AdminAuditLogEnabled
Here are the steps to view the administrator audit log using EAC:
1.In the EAC, navigate to Compliance management > Auditing, and choose View the administrator audit log.
2.Choose a Start date and End date, and then choose Search. All configuration changes made during the specified time period are displayed, and can be sorted, using the following information:
Date The date and time that the configuration change was made. The date and time are stored in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) format.
Cmdlet The name of the cmdlet that was used to make the configuration change.
User The name of the user account of the user who made the configuration change.
Up to 1000 entries will be displayed on multiple pages. Specify a smaller date range if you need to narrow your results. If you select an individual search result, the following information is displayed in the details pane:
Object modified The object that was modified by the cmdlet.
Parameters (Parameter:Value) The cmdlet parameters that were used, and any value specified with the parameter.
3.If you want to print a specific audit log entry, choose the Print button in the details pane.
You can also choose to export the report using EAC.
