New Server 2012 R2 Essentials generating Audit Failure Event 4625 Null SID Logon Attempts

Question

I am researching a failed login issue that is triggering our monitoring software.

Researching the issue, the only other information I could find that was exactly what I was seeing, was on here: Event 4625 Audit Failure NULL SID failed network logons

Trying to track this down, I used Process Monitor and set 2 filters:
Process IS lsass.exe
Result IS NOT SUCCESS.

I then matched the results with the failed Audit attempts and it seems to correspond to these two lines in process monitor as they showed each time at the exact time of the Audit Failure:

1:05:47.4932903 PM  lsass.exe   896 RegOpenKey  HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Root\ProtectedRoots NAME NOT FOUND  Desired Access: Read


1:05:47.4941867 PM  lsass.exe   896 RegQueryValue   HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ForceAutoLockOnLogon NAME NOT FOUND  Length: 144

I am not sure if I am looking at the right place to track this down, or what to do now. Any Suggestions?

I am new to serverfault so I couldn't comment or answer on the question at the link above, but would be curious if he/she saw the same results with process monitor.

This event is generated when a logon request fails. It is generated on the computer where access was attempted.

The Process Information fields indicate which account and process on the system requested the logon.

The Network Information fields indicate where a remote logon request originated. Workstation name is not always available and may be left blank in some cases.

The authentication information fields provide detailed information about this specific logon request.
    - Transited services indicate which intermediate services have participated in this logon request.
    - Package name indicates which sub-protocol was used among the NTLM protocols.
    - Key length indicates the length of the generated session key. This will be 0 if no session key was requested.
