    First, do you have more than one server in each domain? If you do, then you
    probably have a replication problem between domain controllers. The local
    machine will not log failed attempts to the PDC for local logins. It will
    log failed attempts for domain logins.

    Subject: Auditing enabled but Logon Failures not showing up

    Hi,

    Two NT 4 (SP 6 a) domains with a trust relationship from one to the
    other.
    If a user (running win 2k SP4 with latest updates) tries to logon to
    either of the domains with a wrong password, no failure events show up on
    the PDC or BDC.

    Successful logons/log offs do show up in the event logs.
    However if a user tries to logon to his specific machine (Choose this
    machine form the drop down menu) with a wrong password a failure event shows
    up in the PDC logs.

    Auditing is enabled on both domains and log on and log offs success
    and failures are both ticked in the auditing section on both domains.

    I am not sure if this started happening recently or it has always been like
    this.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.
