Randy,

I'm seeing the following events:

Account For Which Logon Failed:
Security ID: NULL SID
Account Name: computername$
Account Domain: Domainname

Failure Information:
Failure Reason: An Error occured during Logon.
Status: 0xc000006d
Sub Status: 0x0

Something to worry about, or noise?

Thx,
Jeff

However lately I got some weird events with "administrator" as an user and I have no clue what's causing it. This event is logged once every ~30 minutes (even at night) with different ports. I'd appreciate any help.

1. What kind of computer is the source address?  workstation/another server or what?

2. it would be a lot of work but you could enable firewall auditing on the source computer and then try correlate these events with the connection events on the source computer to see which program on the source computer is opening the connection.

3. If this weren't for the user being "administrator" i would just ignore because when you google "0xc000006d Substatus 0x0" you get a myriad of network connection problems

Thank you for the reply.

Source is the same server which logs the event. I guess that means that firewall monitoring is not an option. I'd happily ignore the logs, but the "administrator" is bothering me as well.

Can you try renaming the Administrator account to something else like NewAdmin?  Then see if that changes what gets logged? It may cause different, more informative events to be logged.

0xc000006d seems to be caused by system problems and not security related.

The fact you are getting 4776 too is not surprising if it is a domain account and the computer is a domain controller or if it is a local account and the computer is a member server or workstation.  4626 is a logon event.  4776 is an authentication event.
