Hi Sandy,

After my research, I found that the following two articles are related to
the situation you meet now:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;170863

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;298190

The failed log on recorded in the system event log that has the source of
the W3svc are logons to the WWW Service, not the Windows logon. This is
why it is recorded in the system event log, not the security log.

I hope this explain the situation.
