Hi All,<br />
<br />
We are going through a process of changing the password and remvoing as much as possible the network administrator account. Histroically it has been used to authenticate a number of systems. What is the easiest way to find out which servers/services/system are still using this account?<br />
<br />
I have been going through the services (logonas) on each server. Account audit is turned on in Group Policy. I can see anumber of events 6224 for the target account on the DC's. How can i easily check in the security event log for when that account has been used / what has used it?<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help.<br />

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
