[JENKINS-21164] Audit Failures in Windows Event Log

We have our SVN repository hosted on a Windows Server 2008 box (recently migrated from 2003) and every minute we get 20+ Audit Failure logs from the account that our Jenkins CI server uses to connect to the repository. If we put Jenkins into Shutdown Mode we stop seeing the Audit Failures.

Jenkins is able to get check for svn updates just fine and jobs are always triggered when there are new commits.

The real issue we have is that when there are real login failures its pretty hard to debug the problem, when there are all the false failures from Jenkins.

I've attached the Windows Event Log details.

Our repo and the jenkins installation are on different servers.
