There is no guaranteed mechanism of doing this. About the best you can get is to look at the owner of the object in the security descriptor. However if an AD Admin did the create, it is likely it will simply say the owner is administrators.

Is there a way to tell who created a computer in Active Directory? If so, can someone point me to a script or console which does this?
