You can enable auditing from Group Policy.
Default Domain Policy -> computer configuration->Windows Settings->Local Policies->Auditing.
Enable auditing for account management. Select Success and failure.
You can find name of the creator only if auditing is enabled.
Whenever an userId is created in AD, a security event 624 is generated. This contains the account created and the persons userid who had created the account.
