# #Sript to be run by a scheduled task that monitors for a specific event ID (in this case account locked)
# #The sript then reads the last correstponding event ID and emails the details
# #I could only get this alert to work properly by using this method… There may be something easier/better for you out there.
# #This process will have to be followed for each domain controller (since any DC may lock the account and others may not trigger the event id
# #We have two DC’s so this worked well for us
# #The account the task runs under obviously needs rights to read the event logs on the DC
# #Setup the Task
# #Create a scheduled task
# #On the general tab, Run Wether user is logged on or not and Run with highest priveledges
# #On the triggers tab, Select NEW, “On an Event”.
# #Populate
# #log: Security
# #Source: Microsoft-Windows-security-auditing
# #Event ID: 4740
# #Under Actions: New: STart a program:
# #Program: powershell.exe
# #Arguments: -command “& ‘C:\scripts\accountLocked.ps1’ “ (pointing to wherever your script lives)
