<Event xmlns='http://Host2/win/2004/08/events/event'><System><Provider Name='NETLOGON'/><EventID Qualifiers='0'>5805</EventID><Level></Level><Task>None</Task><Keywords></Keywords><TimeCreated SystemTime='2014-02-06T06:03:06.000000000Z'/><EventRecordID>156578</EventRecordID><Channel>System</Channel><Computer> USABLDRRECFLOW01</Computer><Security/></System><EventData>The session setup from the computer USABLDRRECFLOW02 failed to authenticate. The following error occurred:

Access is denied.</EventData></Event>

Origin Host is the system trying to authenticate. <Computer> is the origin of the log message here, but also the domain controller which the origin is trying to authenticate against. Client-Server (origin-impacted) relationship applies here.
