User account being locked out

Is there a tool that will tell me what is using my username on a server and
causing me to be locked out. I'm getting the event id 675 on my domain
controller that is telling me to look at a specific ip address that is
sending the request.

Event Type: Failure Audit
Event Source: Security
Event Category: Account Logon
Event ID: 675
Date: 9/17/2008
Time: 5:56:15 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: KNB4
Description:
Pre-authentication failed:
User Name: User
User ID: Domain\User
Service Name: krbtgt/Domain
Pre-Authentication Type: 0x2
Failure Code: 0x12
Client Address: 10.1.x.x


On that server I'm getting an event id 539 account locked out.

Event Type: Failure Audit
Event Source: Security
Event Category: Logon/Logoff
Event ID: 539
Date: 9/17/2008
Time: 5:34:15 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: VSERVER
Description:
Logon Failure:
Reason: Account locked out
User Name: UserName
Domain: DomainName
Logon Type: 2
Logon Process: Advapi
Authentication Package: Negotiate
Workstation Name: ServerName
Caller User Name: ServerName$
Caller Domain: Domain
Caller Logon ID: (0x0,0x3E7)
Caller Process ID: 3556
Transited Services: -
Source Network Address: -
Source Port: -

I can't find a think on this server that is using my login information.
I've searched the registery for Process ID: 3556 to no avail, searched for my
username to no avail.

Of course I've checked services and scheduled tasks. Any help would be great.

If there's not a tool out there to monitor what on a server is making AD
requests that would be a good one for someone to create and sell.

Re: User account being locked out

Hello

Please run Lockoutstatus.exe from Lockout tools mentioned below. This will
tell you which account is getting locked & request is received by which DC.
Event ID 675 shows "KNB4" as client name. Do you identify this machine name?
When was the last time you reset your account password?
Are you using any of the locked accounts to run Service ? check those &
remove.

cheers !!
