Hello all,
On looking at Reporter, I see large number of "Domainname\computername$ 675 pre-authentication failure"
Are these Kerberos related, what's are they telling me?
Many thanks
Howrd

I believe these can be safely ignored.  These are machines connecting to other machines to retrieve system information.  You will find a noise filtering rule ("Ignore events generated by computer accounts") that should limit the number of entries in the database for this type of event.

I have that same issue, but cannot find that noise filtering rule:

I am going to

computer groups then to servers, right click for properties,
then windows event logs,noise reduction

I only see:
user based noise
defective logging noise
over logging noise
typical behaviour

is there someplace else to look?
