Terminal Services Remote Session login attempts


recently have been seeing in logs lot of attempts log our server.  "remote session client name exceeding maximum allowed failed logon attempts" messages.  question how identify coming , how stop them?  how identify client name too.  thanks

hi,

using event viewer (eventvwr.msc), examine security log event id 4625 (server 2008), or event id 529 (server 2003).  these events show user name attempted source ip address.

after finding ip address can decide next do, depending on whether the source internal or external.  if external perhaps filter ip @ firewall, file complaint source isp, change the port rdp on server, implement rd gateway, etc.
