Probably a little late, been busy, but I did not see a response yet to this. (assuming we are talking about NT/AD Domain Admins) Honestly, if you are looking for something to audit domain admins, then you have bigger problems. Domain admins by the very nature of the account type, have complete control over the domain, second to only enterprise admins. Nothing you install or do will prevent them from removing or modifying it. Even restricting them via NTFS permissions or GPO's does nothing since they can just take ownership and modify the permissions. Keep in mind that spying on a domain admin can have catastrophic effects if they feel threatened by it since they can easily mess up an entire network. Basically, If you can not trust your domain admin(s), then they should probably not be a domain admin and removed from that position of trust.
