try port reporter from microsoft....


Hi All,

A quick question regarding windows networks. I have a  Domain Admin
User account which keeps getting locked out, it is not used by any
programs etc. and i'm pretty sure I don't have any virus / spyware on
my system.

Is there any way to log the IP address of all machines that fail a
login attempt?

If I can narrow my search down to a single IP address that keeps
trying to login with this account, that would be ideal. Does anybody
know of a way to do this, possibly using group policy?

Any help would be great.

Cheers.
