Report Collection - Machine Account Authentication Failures

Report_Collection___Machine_Account_Authentication_Failures_5_Rule (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This rule collects events for the AD Machine Account Authentication Failures report. It generates this data by capturing Netlogon events from the System log with Event ID:5805.

This rule is disabled by default because it can be very noisy in large environments and there are many reasons why a machine account may fail authentication. Override this alert to start capturing these events.
