 How can I track where an audit comes from?
I have 4 systems - all new installed - which have many entries of event id 560 in the seclog. All systems have been checked for viruses/malware. None found. Running Windows XP Pro SP3 on these systems in a windows 2003 Server enviroment. Domain policy contains an audits for local policy. Securitelogs are filling and users cannot logon when full. Workarround: raised from 512 to 1024 and overwrite is neccesary. However every 2 or 3 days we have to delete the seclogs manually because they are full again. And, logs are filling differently. Some will fill every two hours, each 3 seconds for one hour. Other in a total different patron. Example of a seclog entry:

Type gebeurtenis: Controleren op mislukte pogingen

Bron van gebeurtenis: Security Categorie van gebeurtenis: Toegang tot object

Gebeurtenis-ID: 560 Datum:  29-6-2010 Tijd:  9:16:39 Gebruiker:  domainnameuser Computer: clientname Beschrijving: Object is geopend:

Answer Wiki:
Your best option would be to look at a centralized logging solution which should include DHCP & DNS so you can perform lookups to track down the system the audit came from.

Try the Sysinternals TCPVIEW utility. This will tell you what connections a client computer has made – both inbound and outbound. This may help you identify the client computer and/or process which is causing these event log entries.
