hello all, how are you?

 

there are many failed log on in my windows server 2008 r2 event log. here is one example from my event viewer:

--start quote--

these attempts are so many and periodically. sometimes they up to 30 attempts in only 1 minute, and it happens almost 24 hours nonstop

 

my question is: what is that and how to make it stop?

 

please kindly help me, thank you very much

hi, thanks for your help. i have read the kb and it is because "loopback check security feature that is designed to help prevent reflection attacks on your computer", right?

so, it is not harmful and just leave it alone or should i follow the kb and "Specify host names for NTLM authentication" or "Disable the loopback check" in the registry?

 

again thank you very much for your kind help

Let's say that I don't have an answer. This is my though:

 

Don't disable the loopback check, actually it's not causing problem... right? What you could do is to specify NTLM host names, which is easy and safe.

 

I really don't know which is the best solution. I had just one time this problem and I resolved with NTLM host names but I didn't make any test to understand which scenario is better.
