How to track the source machine of frequent failed logon attampt?


Recommended Posts

Posted

We are running windows 2003 shop. One user account is getting lock out every

5 minutes. I suspect some program is trying to log on to the network

internally with the user name and password. I guess security log from DC

will reveal the failed login attempt. But how can I trace to the source of

this failed attampt?

Hi Mark,

 

You may want to look at the account lockout tools.
