642: User Account Changed
On this page
"Target" user account was changed by "Caller" user.
On Windows 2000 and XP, for some types of changes, the event will include a description of what was changed on the 2nd line of the description.
Often the change will will not be indicated in the event but another event at the same time will will indicate the change. For example when the account name is changed, it will be indicated by event 685.
On Windows Server 2003, there is never a change description on the 2nd line. The change is documented under "changed attributes".
