Is there any settings in Win2k to display the last
unsuccessful login attempts on an account when that
account is successful log-in ? This should be a useful
security features to alert the account holders who is
attempting to break in. Do I need to write login scripts
to achieve this ?

You can view failed logon attempts by enabling account logon or logon events. Account
logon events keep track of where a user authenticated to while logging on locally to
computer which would either be the domain controller or the local sam if not logging
onto a domain. Logon events keep track of where a user uses his credentials to try to
access a resource, whether it is a domain machine he is logging onto or trying to
access a network share. Enabling account lockout policy will alert a user or
administrator when someone may be trying to access an account that they should
not.--- Steve
