| As indicated in my encyclopedia these events are of limited value. The specific example you supplied indicates the account in question was doing something with Services on the computer. Maybe starting, stopping or installing a new service

| I have a network consisting of Windows Server 2012, 2 DCs, and approximately 65 Dell OptiPlex 7040MT workstations with Windows 10 Enterprise with military Secure Host Basline (SHB). All users constantly get the taskbar pop-up: "Windows needs your current credentials. Please lock then unlock using your most recent password or smart card." My admin account also gets it constantly. It makes no difference whether I or any other user locks and unlocks or whether you just ignore it. When it occurs, the event log gives the 4674 Event ID. Is there any way of getting rid of this ridiculously annoying pop-up. Already tried checking the account options checkbox for "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" and it has made no difference. In addition when user's passwords expire and they create a new password, they get an error of "The encryption type requested is not supported by the KDC." Are these two somehow related?

| This event does not really tell you much. It seems like an issue with the secure configurations. Are there any other events at the time this issue is seen that may help?

Does the message say "Audit Failure"? There are a lot of privileged permissions that get used during normal business. If accounts do not have these privileges then I would expect that windows would try to elevate so that what ever task it's trying to do can be completed. I would look a the event and determine what privilege it is trying to use and see if that user has it. These are not the normal things you think of as permissions (system, local admin). I believe the right term is "user rights". https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn221963(v=ws.11).aspx
