What kind of firewall do you have? I would start by nailing it down.

Do you have account lockout policies set?  x number of bad login =
attempts =3D account locked out.

I would also lookup the ip addresses on Arin and see where they are =
coming from and maybe send an email to those ISP reporting the attempts =
to break into your system.

I need help!

I've missed a security step somewhere in my network config. I'm seeing
event log entries similar to the following:

ANONYMOUS LOGON
Login Failure...

All are coming from IP addresses and Domain/Workstation names that I
don't recognize.

And I have someone from the outside world pounding the network with
some user accounts that thankfully are disabled, but apparently they
are randomly trying passwords via a generator.

They are even hitting accounts that are system services.

I'm not even sure where to begin...

Thanks,
Jan
