Are system administrator commands traceable back to an individual user ID?

Except in so far as "actions" can be in components that can
have individual premissions, what you ask for is not how
securing and auditing in Windows is architected.
For the most part, objects are secured/audited with Dacl/Sacl,
and these may be the actor and the acted-upon. You are asking
to audit the action, which is not a general capability in Windows,
although some actions are auditable (login, logoff, privilege use,
etc.)
So, other than the specific actions that provide auditability,
you would need to devise auditing directions on the objects
the adim account might be acting upon.

You can turn on auditing. Take a look at Active Administrator from
ScriptLogic. It tracks all changes made in AD and allows you to
isolate out who did what and where.

So you want to have a trace of the commands, or of the
effects resulting from the commands ?

A trace of commands. From what you said in your previous post, I assume
results of command would show through auditing objects.
