531: Logon Failure - Account currently disabled
On this page
Event 531 is logged on the workstation or server where the user failed to log on. To determine if the user was present at this computer or elsewhere on the network, see the Logon Types chart in 528. Event 531 is logged on a domain controller only when a user fails to log on to the domain controller itself (such as at the console or through failure to connect to a shared folder). On workstations and servers, this event can be generated by an attempt to log on with a domain or local SAM account. In the latter case, there will be a corresponding failure event from the Account Logon category.
To identify the source of network logon failures, check the Workstation Name and Source Network Address fields.
Logon Process and Authentication Package will vary according to the type of logon and authentication protocol used.
