Question : Audit Failure on Windows 2008

I received a new Dell server for our firm yesterday. I set it up initially to let it run for a 5 day burn-in period. I installed Windows 2008 Std SP2, hardware drivers, Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0.5 and Adobe acrobat. I have not installed any additional microsoft updates other than SP2 that came in the media download..

The environment consists of a win 2000 server (in domain & DC), Win 2003 server (in domain) and 20 domain workstations running XP Pro. All systems run the current release of Symantec Endpoint Protection. The server is not in the domain yet. It's a standaolne with no AD installed.

This morning I checked the system logs and found multiple events that looks like someone is truing to hack into it. Here are the events I found. Let me know what I should do.

Answer : Audit Failure on Windows 2008

someone is trying to RDP and map network drives to your new server, either it's someone inside your network or is your new server inside a DMZ?

think you have bigger problems than just this one server...
