Problem with Enterprise manager and authentication

Hi
I recently upgraded my infrastructure to Active Directory 2003.
Since then I'm having two problems when I start Enterprise Manager and
connect on 2003 sever member with SQL2000 sp3a:
1 On non-member machine, I use SQL authentication to register the server and
in the security log I keep getting dozens of Event ID 529 (unkown username
or bad password) every minutes.
The user in the event is the local account logged on the workstation.
2 on member machines, I have three successfull events (logoff/privilges
assigned/logon) every 10 seconds
In the first case, why does it try to log on with the local account ?
In the second case why does it logoff/logon every 10 seconds ?
I can't remove this audit (international group security policy...) and the
security logs are full in about 2 weeks with 600,000+ events!! I can't
manage that!
Thanks in advance for your help.

Christophe NielThats an odd one, have you seen http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=890477 ?,

automatically set to check every 10 seconds.
In the first case, because you are logged in as the local
account and it is trying to poll the services from the
workstation using that account.
In Enterprise Manager, go up to the menu to Tools, Options.
You can deselect the checkbox to poll the services.

and "Doh!"... I've been using enterprise manager for years and I had never
seen an "option" menu (or let's say the polling option didn't strike me as
the cause of my problem)
Well, as I said: it worked and my logs are clean again.
Thanks a lot
