From: TCurtin on 23 Jul 2010 13:13 I have Server 2003 IIS 6.0 I am using windows authentication for a web site hosted in IIS. Anonymous Access is off In the IIS audit logs the 'cs-username' shows up fine on a successful login. the 'cs-username' is blank when the user enters a bad password. is there a way to change this? The information I need is the number of failed attempts for a user. or is there another way to ger this info?
From: Ken Schaefer on 24 Jul 2010 00:18 Unless a user authenticates (i.e. the Windows security subsystem says "yes, this is a valid user") then IIS has no user context to impersonate, and the request is considered "anonymous" (and then is appropriately denied with a 401. Your Windows security event logs will track failed login attempts (including a reason for the failure: e.g. unknown username or bad password, account disabled etc). You may need to allow failed logon auditing in the local security policy (or set it via Group Policy).

From: TCurtin on 26 Jul 2010 19:30 I tried this using the event logs and it works most of the time. the only weirdness is that if i use the machineName.xxxxxx.com/user and an invalid password the event gets logged as a failure [great]. but if I use the domainName/user as a login only successes get logged [When a valid password is used] If I use an invalid password in this case nothing gets logged, any ideas?

Check the Event Logs on your domain controllers.
