I have an issue with event id 4625. Hope you can help me to fix it. I have a Hyper V Cluster whit 6 hosts(2016). On several of my hosts every day I am found alert "Security-Event ID: 4625". Sometimes the "Source Network Address:" is one of my nodes, and sometimes null.

A null SID may occur when the username specified in a logon attempt does not correspond to a valid account.

  • The source was a process or application on that other node. You would need to review the data on that node to determine which process.
