Hi all,
Recently we have a lot of account locked out in Windows NT 4.0, we think that the user are play around with someone else account.
Is there a way that we can track what's computer had bad logon attempts? And what time the bad logon attempts occur?
In our account policy, we set 10 for Account Lockout Threshold and 5 minutes for Reset Account after
Any help will be really appreciated, Thanks alot, Kim,
