Active Directory User Account Capture

0

I am novice user of Wireshark and I am trying to track down a PC where an unauthorized user is trying to logon to our network. I have searched numerous capture files and have not found any Active Directory user accounts. Is this information not contained in a packet? If it, how do I extract the information.

You won't find any. Active Directory uses encryption and hashing to prevent anyone from capturing readable account information - for obvious security reasons.

The security log of Windows is a far better tool to find such an event.
