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,

Are you running a Domain? If so, you can look at the logs and see the logon attempts...

Yes, i run on DOMAIN. I checked event viewer on PDC and BDC, but i don't see any audit on failed logon attempts... i did set the audit on "Logon/Logoff" on DOMAIN though... is there a bug on event viewer maybe...

Thanks for your help,
Kim,
