Loss of attribute values



We run a large SQL Server environment and rely on delegation to make our
Linked Server connections work. To do this, we must manually add enties to
the ServicePrincipalName attribute for the account under which our SQL
Servers run. Randomly, one or more entries will just disappear from the
attribute and cause our linked server connections to fail. This past weekend,
2 SQL instances from the same server (which actually hosts 5 instances)
disappeared. Last night the entry for a different server disappeared. I
re-add the entry using ADSIEdit (I could use SetSPN, too) and all is well for
that server.
I know that no one on my team is going in and changing/deleting entries. Any
ideas where to start looking? Is there some kind of auditing I can turn on
that won't bring my AD to its knees? Any specific diags I should be running
to pick up corruption issues?

Thanks
