Thank you very much for the advice.
Actualy We have both CDC as well as Auditing in place for the prod database. But this was a local environment. Where we have many sysadmins. I know it is a worst practice. I am new here and I adviced them not to. But they want it to stay this way.

Regards

That is OPERATION 'LOP_DELETE_ROWS' will not have have the login info, where as "LOP_BEGIN_XACT" for that delete will have.


No, it won't. It has the database user info, not the login info.

Looks to me like you need to set up auditing and CDC in this environment as well.

If you have default trace records from around the time of the delete, you may be able to compile a list of suspects. Hopefully you do not too may people that have sysadmin access on your system.

That won't help, I'm afraid.
the default trace captured DDL changes..CREATE TABLE/INDEX etc kinds of things.

it does not capture any DML statements like INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE; for that you need a different custom trace set up prior to the changes occurring to get any relevant info from any trace.

I am aware of that.
However you can deduce who is doing what based on the entries in the default trace.
