Fileserver - Credentials Validate question

Thank you for looking at this problem.

At the moment i get 155 eventlog msg daily from a Sophos update account, every 10 minutes.

I used to get Event-ID: 4776 but only once very 24H.

"Source: Microsoft Windows security auditing.

Event-ID: 4776

Taskcategory: Credential Validation

The domain controller attempted to validate the credentials for an account.

Authentication Package: MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0
Logon Account: SophosSAUSERVER101
Source Workstation: SERVER10
Error Code: 0x0"

This account is available on this server but somehow filling up the log, i used to have Logon/Logoff msgs here but i cannot see them anymore.

Once this change occured, these msg started to appear every 7 days two, 4 to 6 at a time.

"Source: Microsoft Windows security auditing.

Event-ID: 4904/4905

Taskcategory: Audit Policy Change

An attempt was made to register a security event source.

Subject :
Security ID: SYSTEM
Account Name: SERVER10$
Account Domain: FOJA
Logon ID: 0x3e7

Process:
Process ID: 0xb24
Process Name: C:\Windows\System32\VSSVC.exe

Event Source:
Source Name: VSSAudit"

Anybody got any idea why this started or how to turn it of so the normal Logoff/Logon start to show again.

It all started once i got 8 of these MSGS around 4-9-2012:

"Source: Microsoft Windows security auditing.

Event-ID: 4719

Taskcategory: Audit Policy Change

System audit policy was changed.

Subject:
Security ID: SYSTEM
Account Name: SERVER10$
Account Domain: FOJA
Logon ID: 0x3e7

Audit Policy Change:
Category: Logon/Logoff
Subcategory: IPsec Quick Mode
Subcategory GUID: {0cce9219-69ae-11d9-bed3-505054503030}
Changes: Success removed, Failure removed"

But i justed checked and 'Success, Failure' are still part of the Default Domain Policy - Logon Audit?\

Thanks for any insight you are able to provide.

Kind regards

    The account is a local account not a domain account, the machine does have a GPO that enables lockout after 10 erroneous logons but this is not the case, the account is not disabled and available for use.

    I see that this msg is now comming up every 5 min, but its origion lies somewhere in the policies, but i never changed anything in there.

    I think im calling this one and accept the immens ammount of logging involved with GPO audits.
