Find failed connection attempts in Log files for ActiveSync / Webmail
Question asked by Charles Michel - 12/17/2016 at 5:33 AM
Unanswered
For SMTP and IMAP, if I set the log settings to Detailed, I can spot failed login attempts by looking for "rsp: 535 Authentication failed" or "login failed" and it also gives me what login was used.
 
How do I spot a failed login attempt and what login was used for ActiveSync or the Webmail? Neither the ActiveSync nor IIS log seems to show anything useful.

Adding his comment just so that the question doesn't go unnoticed. I have a server under brute force attack, I would like to be able to find IPs causing failed authentications so that I can ban them at the firewall level automatically.
