We have been getting 100's of these Failure Audit logs on a daily
basis in our security event log for the past couple weeks. They are
showing up on our win 2000 sp4 application/database server. The user
is a current domain user but not a local user on the server. The
workstation however is not in our domain. What is bothering me is
that is trying to login from a machine that has the same name as a
current user. I have scanned for viruses and spyware on both the
server and the user's workstation, but came up empty on both searches.

The server is part of a 2000 domain and the user logs into a NT
domain. The user doesn't have a mapped drive to the server, but
accesses our main application that resides on the server on a daily
basis.

Below is an example of what we have been seeing.

Event Type: Failure Audit

Thanks in advance for any advise,
