Why doesn't filtering by user work in the Security Log?
E2K7 SP2
I attempt to logon OWA and enter an incorrect password intentionally.
This creates two "Audit Failure"entries in the security log of the mail server: Event ID 4625
I right click on the Security log and CHANGING NOTHING ELSE select "Filter Current Log" and for "Keywords" ->
Audit Failure
This filter only Audit Failure entries, including my failed OWA logon attempt.
OK so far.
Now, changing nothing else once again, I enter my user name in the user box.
Click OK and... 0 entries.
????
The entry (entries) shows up in the unfiltered log.
They show up when I filter by keyword "Audit Failure".
But when I filter by name - I'm not there.
If my name was John Smith, the user name entered was "jsmith" (without quotes).
Can anyone reproduce this?
Do I have to enter the user name differently?
I also tried:
jsmith@mydomain.com (not valid) and jsmith@mydomain.local - apparently valid but no results.

Hi
I test it on my server.
I enter administrator. It will become “email2007.com\administrator”
I think your problem is server log filter problem not exchange problem
