Re: List and discription of ADS events

You can extract the list of events that a certain application is using
from the event message file for that certain application (AD is a Windows
component but nevertheless just an "application" as far as logging is
concerned). The message file contains just the event id and the "template"
of the event description. Since the message files are in binary form, you
can only access them via the Microsoft event logging API. See
http://www.eventid.net/show.asp?DocId=22 for details.

I would recommend that you start by monitoring all the events and add or
exclude them as you go.
