How to track Windows Login failure from expired or disabled account

Hi Splunkers,

I'm performing some searches to monitor Windows user failure attempts. The failure itself is not a problem, I know the proper windows event code to monitor failures attempts; the focal point is that in every of this try I have to add a particular condition to check.
Between these searches, two makes me some difficults: I have to monitor login failures performed by an expired account, while in another one I have to track attempts by disabled account.
In my scenario, where I have the Windows addon installed on my environment, how can I track the 2 above scenarios?

I mean the Splunk Security Essentials (SSE) app has use cases that may fit your needs.  Whether or not they're also part of ES I'm not sure.  SSE is a free app.

Hi richgalloway, do you mean that between the preconfigured CS of Enterprise Security there are 2 that fit my needs?
