 how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting
   eventcode `4662`. The Advanced Security Audit policy settings `Audit Directory Services
   Access` within `DS Access` needs to be enabled, as well as the following SACLs applied
   to the domain root and all descendant objects. The principals `everybody`,  `Domain
   Computers`, and  `Domain Controllers` auditing the permissions `Replicating Directory
   Changes`, `Replicating Directory Changes All`, and `Replicating Directory Changes
   In Filtered Set`
