We have two Windows 2008 R2 SP1 servers running in a SQL failover cluster. On one of them we are getting the following events in the security log every 30 seconds. The parts that are blank are actually blank. Has anyone seen similar issues, or assist in tracking down the cause of these events? No other event logs show anything relevant that I can tell.

EDIT UPDATE: I have a bit more information to add. I installed Network Monitor on this machine and did a filter for Kerberos traffic and found the following which corresponds to the timestamps in the security audit log.

A Kerberos AS_Request Cname: CN=SQLInstanceName Realm:domain.local Sname krbtgt/domain.local

Reply from DC: KRB_ERROR: KDC_ERR_C_PRINCIPAL_UNKOWN

I then checked the security audit logs of the DC which responded and found the following:

 A Kerberos authentication ticket (TGT) was requested.

 Account Information:
         Account Name:      X509N:<S>CN=SQLInstanceName
     Supplied Realm Name:   domain.local
     User ID:           NULL SID

 Service Information:
     Service Name:      krbtgt/domain.local
     Service ID:        NULL SID

 Network Information:
     Client Address:        ::ffff:10.240.42.101
     Client Port:       58207

 Additional Information:
     Ticket Options:        0x40810010
     Result Code:       0x6
     Ticket Encryption Type:    0xffffffff
     Pre-Authentication Type:   -

 Certificate Information:
    Certificate Issuer Name:        
    Certificate Serial Number:  
    Certificate Thumbprint: 

So appears to be related to a certificate installed on the SQL machine, still dont have any clue why or whats wrong with said certificate. It's not expired etc.
