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 You can get professional help from server forum http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windowsserverTerence Yu TechNet Community Support
