Good Day:

I have recently upgraded from ESM 7 to ESM 8.1. The upgrade executed with out any problems. However, since the upgrade I have seen an increase of Event IDs 675 and 529 being reported into the Failed logon report.

The user accounts being reported are valid service accounts or the account is krbtgt/wi which I'm not famliar with.

These entries are appearing evey minute which makes this report quite lengthly.

Can you suggest how can I reduce the size of this report i.e. what to modify to reduce this report to a mangeable level?

Can you tell me what account the GFI EventsManager service is using?

Can you post any details about these logon failures events from the Events Browser section?

Can you further explain what machine has the IP address: 10.129.23.150? (CBBBD-D3-WI2?) This should help identify where the first set of failures are coming from. In regards to the second failure you sent - It seems to be SQL related.

for clarification Cbbbd-D3-WI2 is a domain controller. While IP 150 is the firewall. Two separate devices.

Please clarify what you mean that the secon failure is sql related. As the server is the sql server and the userid is valid.

For the firewall, do you perhaps have GFI EventsManager trying to collect anything other than SysLogs from this device?

Also, for the SQL server it seems like something is trying to connect to the SQL server with an incorrect password for some reason. Perhaps ensuring GFI EventsManager uses SQL Authentication instead of Windows Authentication should help narrow down what is happening. Also, open Task Manager, look at the processes tab, then add the "Process ID" column (PID) Look at the latest event log and determine what process shared the PID - In the example above the PID is 5292

GFI is not collecting any data from IP 150

I will investigate the sql server and revert back with additional information.
