    User lock outs - Audit failures on Secuirty log


    Hello,Several users at my job are getting locked out of their account due to too many login attempts even though they are claiming to have not attempted to log in for hours.The security log shows an 'audit failure' with the device listed as our domain controller. I've also gotten this with Kerberos listed as the device name. Does anyone know if a service can be causing this? Or should I be more concerned about a brute force attempt?Thank you

    :)

    Q about audit logs

    When setting up audit logging under Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Advanced Audit Policy Configuration -> System Audit Policies -> Logon/Logoff -> Audit Account Lockout, if I enable the Success option, how does this log get triggered? When
    an account is locked out, a failure event is fired under the Account Locked category. But when an account is unlocked, an event is fired under the User Account Management category. How would a successful account lockout event get fired? What would that even
    be?

    Security Audit Failure Event 5061 In Windows 10

    Hello,

    A failure audit event is triggered when a defined action, such as a user logon, is not completed successfully.

    The appearance of failure audit events in the event log does not necessarily mean that something is wrong with your system. For example, if you configure Audit Logon events, a failure event may simply mean that a user mistyped his or her password.

    Audit failure 5061 after logging in to Windows 10

    Logging in to Windows 10 Build 10547 I see for a split second a message box pop up.

    There's no time to read it as the login succeeds.

    In the event log I see:

    It says the key type is a user key.

    Inside the 5061 Audit failure is the following information:

    What is going on, and how do I fix it?
