  3. Who actually has access

An account failed to log on.

This event is generated when a logon request fails. It is generated on the computer where access was attempted.

The Subject fields indicate the account on the local system which requested the logon. This is most commonly a service such as the Server service, or a local process such as Winlogon.exe or Services.exe.

The Logon Type field indicates the kind of logon that was requested. The most common types are 2 (interactive) and 3 (network).

The Process Information fields indicate which account and process on the system requested the logon.

The Network Information fields indicate where a remote logon request originated. Workstation name is not always available and may be left blank in some cases.

The authentication information fields provide detailed information about this specific logon request.

- Transited services indicate which intermediate services have participated in this logon request. 

- Package name indicates which sub-protocol was used among the NTLM protocols. 

- Key length indicates the length of the generated session key. This will be 0 if no session key was requested.

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community forum.

    According to the information you have provided, you are experiencing successive failed login attempts on the remote server. Since the source network address is not provided in the log, it is recommended that you enable advanced auditing policies for further diagnosis.

    Here are the general steps to enable the policy and check it further:

    Step 1: Enable the audit policy

    1. Open the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
    2. Navigate to Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Advanced Audit Policy Configuration -> Audit Policy -> Login/Logout.
    3. Double-click Audit Login, select Success and Fail, and click OK.

    Step 2: Check the event log

    1. Press Win + R, type eventvwr, and press Enter to open the event viewer:
    2. In the left pane, expand Windows Logs and choose Security.
    3. In the right pane, click Filter current logs. Enter 4624 (successful login) and 4625 (failed login) in the Event ID field and click OK.

    Step 3: Look for failed login attempts

    Look for frequent failed login attempts, especially from unknown IP addresses. Use firewall rules to block these IP addresses.

    In addition, you can try using a network monitoring tool, such as Microsoft Network Monitor, to capture network traffic and identify the reasons for login failures.

    I hope this helps.

    Best regards

    Jacen
