There is an attribute for each account stored in the user object, but it's 
maintained on each DC separately (not replicated).  It will reset once there is 
a "good" logon, but otherwise it counts how many bad attempts there were since 
the last good logon.

Open ADU&C with Advanced features toggled on.  Browse down to the user account 
in question and look at properties, then the "Attribute Editor" tab.  Look for 
"badPwdCount" to have a number, and "badPasswordTime" will have the timestamp 
of the last attempt.  You would have to collect info from all DCs or know which 
DC the user authenticated with.

Depending on what you need, maybe the MS account lockout & mgmt tools would 
help?

Subject: [NTSysADM] number of failed attempts

Is there a place in AD (2012) that I can find number of failed login attempts?
