Hi, In Windows Server 2003, the event ID for account lockout is 539: 539 Logon failure. The account was locked out at the time the logon attempt was made. In Windows Server 2008 R2, it is 4740: 4740 A user account was locked out. For more information, please refer to: Maintaining and Monitoring Account Lockout http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776964(v=ws.10).aspx Description of security events in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977519/en-us Hope this helps.
