Administrator audit logging in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 enables you to create a log entry each time a specified cmdlet is run.

| Administrator audit logging relies on Active Directory
replication to replicate the configuration settings you specify to
the domain controllers in your organization. Depending on your
replication settings, the changes you make may not be immediately

Changes to the audit log configuration are refreshed every 60 minutes on computers that have the Shell open at the time a configuration change is made. If you want to apply the changes immediately, close and then open the Shell again on each computer. |
