I have a client with Windows 2003 Server Standard SP1 that is a domain
controller.  In the Security logs of the Event Viewer, I have tons of failed
audits (event id 672) for a user that is no longer in Active Directory.  i
have browed the Internet looking for a fix but I haven't found one.  Can you
help?  Below is the data from the event:

Looks like there is someone or something still trying to logon on this
account. Try to find the specified client (192.168.7.171), and see what
is trying to logon.
