    Hi @Alwin Soria

    Please take a look at MaxDaniels's answer at:

    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/c6b0d058-98d0-4572-8a72-e18e353b04fd/numerous-4625-errors-in-the-event-log?forum=winserversecurity

    It looks like there could be devices in your WORKGROUP trying to communicate (such as file shares/printers) that perhaps don't have network credentials (or proper ones). The alerts are most likely benign but you can investigate your other devices configurations.
