The audit logging was added for the file server and NT4 DC as well.  

The testing and coverage is comprehensive for the AD DC, but where the
same paths are used (and where it wasn't hard to add) the file server
and NT4 DC wasn't left out.  

My hope is that this can be quite helpful in monitoring large
installations.
