Audit Trail to track all administrative activity

Is there a log file that shows all activity done through the Console by any user?  I need something to refer to should there be a problem- like who made this change.  Our admins have varying degrees of access- from administrative to authoring, reporting, overrides, etc.  If there isn't a log, what is the best work-around?  Thanks.

This a really good point! As such I can't think of a log file that does this. In the list of Task it will say who run each Task. And the Overrides do log who made changes and additional info if they add it, other than that there is the History (right click an alert go to History) then admins could log their change there.

Too bad, centralized log would be great basic feature to have. Are you reading this Microsoft? Now I have to go to different places to grab activity information, if available. Overrides view doesn't show Description field, so I must open each override (hundreds) to view description/comments, assuming admins even enter info. Thanks Simon for you response.
