It’s actually really simple, but you’ll need administrator access on the domain controller in order to read the security event log so you might have to consult upper sys admins.
It seems to not want to filter/sort by username though so if you’re managing a huge enterprise with thousands of users this could be a bit tedious. On the other side, if that’s the case I suppose you already have better tools for the job.
Anyway, all invalid login attempts are logged as event id 4776 (Credential Validation).
Open Event Viewer and connect to domain controller
Go to Windows Logs -> Security
Click on Filter Current Log... in the right navigation menu
Enter 4776 into the input field which says <All Event IDs>
Browse through the invalid login attempts till you find the one which belongs to your user and look in the description text field where it says “Source Workstation: hostname”

From time to time my Alt Gr button seems to stop working, which I use for several special characters like @.
Turns out the problem is related to the process mstsc.exe (Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop).
Solution: Close any RDP windows you have open (no need to logout, just close them). Voila, Alt Gr works as intended again. Now you can reopen them and hope it doesn’t happen again.
You should also be aware of the temporary solution: Pressing CTRL + ALT is the same as Alt Gr – in case you can’t close the current RDP windows for any reason.
This minor, yet very infuriating issue, has been present at my computer(s) for several years, both Windows 7 and Windows 10.
Open the Powershell shell (pun intended) on your domain controller and run the following command: Get-ADGroupMember 'groupname'
This will list all members of the ‘groupname’ group in your shell. List pipe it into a text file instead: Get-ADGroupMember 'groupname' > list.txt
We don’t need those unecessary columns though, so let’s just list the NAME column and nothing else: Get-ADGroupMember 'groupname' | select name > list.txt
