ManageEngine’s ADAudit Plus –<https://www.manageengine.com/products/active-directory-audit/> specifically the Account Lockout Analyzer<https://www.manageengine.com/products/active-directory-audit/windows-ad-user-account-lockout-analyzer.html> functionality. This is paid for but is a nice centralized place for analyzing many common AD tasks and can also send alerts. Netwrix’s Account Lockout Examiner<https://www.netwrix.com/account_lockout_examiner.html> (free but you have to register a “business email” and will forever receive sales emails after) Microsoft’s Account Lockout & Management Tools<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18465> (free) If you have the time, setting up something like the Elastic Stack (formerly known as the ELK stack)<https://www.elastic.co/products> to centralize DC/firewall logs and set up a dashboard for correlation.

From: The EDUCAUSE Security Community Group Listserv <SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU<mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU>> On Behalf Of Justin Hensley Sent: Monday, October 29, 2018 10:38 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU<mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU> Subject: [SECURITY] Active Directory Lockout Log Tools Hello All: We have been encountering an increased occurrence of user accounts being locked due to our AD lockout policy. In the past, almost all of these issues have been due to a user having a bad password in one of our university systems that kept attempting to autologin and caused the lockout. However, we now believe that attackers are attempting to brute force the password with a known username on some accounts. Would anyone have an suggestions on a quicker way to track this activity back to an IP than sorting through all the AD logs? Are there any tools out there to help with this? Thanks. Justin O.
