This event is logged on the workstation or server where the user failed to logon. To determine if the user was present at this computer or elsewhere on the network, see Logon Types. This event is only logged on domain controllers when a user fails to logon to the DC itself such at the console or through failure to connect to a shared folder. On workstations and servers this event could be generated by a an attempt to logon with a domain or local SAM account. If a local SAM account, there will be a corresponding failure event from the Account Logon category.
