Useful and excellent article on exactly what settings to Audit .

But also 3rd party tools have a part to play here, such as Quest and Netpro.

Yes, this article is quite useful, but as you said there is a place for 3rd party tools. I think it’s much easier. Not sure about the utilities you mentioned above. Personaly I prefer active administrator (I hope you've heard about it - it's from scriptlogic). It has powerful <a href="http://www.scriptlogic.com/active-directory-group-policy-auditing.asp">group policy auditing</a> features and it handles just any tasks that can appear in active directory administration practices.
