This script is useful for security audits (helping you gather information about failed login attempts), and for checking recent activity by a particular login (before you delete a login, for example).
The script lists all failed login attempts by a user, including the IP address of the computer from which the login attempts were made. The last successful login for a user is also listed.
Note that security logging must be enabled on the SQL Server you are monitoring, otherwise this script will not return accurate results.
