Subject: 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.
