Tracking changes in the Active Directory using C#

Question

Is there a way to raise events if someone changed something in Active Directory, e.g. disable user account?

Answer 1

Yes, there are mechanisms and hooks to be notified of certain changes being made in Active Directory - see the MSDN docs Change Notifications in Active Directory as a starting point and go from there.

From the looks of it, it's pretty low-level straight LDAP code ......
