First use Local Security Policy [secpol.msc] or the domain/OU Group Policy
that enforces that setting or auditing of object access. Then configure
auditing on the folders you want to track the changes of for the users/group
and then for "change permissions" and look in the security log for object
access events, particularly event ID 560, that refer to the folder in
question for change permission. If the user is system then a
startup/shutdown Group Policy script, AT scheduled task, Group Policy file
system, or some other process using system could be changing the
permissions. Below is an example I just created on my computer. Note the
object name is a folder called log on drive E. Under accesses note
WRITE_DAC which most likely means write discretionary access control. I did
change permissions on that folder. You can use the free Event Comb from
Microsoft to help narrow the search by for instance searching for event ID
560 and text string WRITE_DAC . The links below explain more. --- Steve

It should work. You have to make sure the auditing of object access is
enabled for success first in Domain Controller Security Policy and you may
need to reboot the domain controller. -- Steve
