Event logs to cluttered

[Blake]

Hello all. I am looking for some software to assist us in getting data out
of our event logs, primarily the security logs. We have users getting
locked out of their accounts and need to know why.

Any suggestions?

For account lockout, there is a set of specific tools just for that
(EventComboMT is just one of them):

Refer to the following white paper and kb articles for very detail
instructions on how to use the tools:

Thanks, guys. I downloaded those tools long ago (to add the tabs to AD
regarding account info) but forgot about the other useful goodies.

Thanks
