Is there a way to filter the Windows Server 2003 Security log to show just Active Directory account creations? It looks like one of my more crafty customers conned someone on my team into creating two Domain Admin accounts for him, and I'm trying to figure out which admin was dumb enough to do it :)

The log is HUGE though, and I need a way just to filter out account creations. It there a particular task name or code that I should be filtering with?
