MSExchangeMonitoring generates account login failures

Question
-
On our E2k7 server the MSExchangeMonitoring service has started generating 2 errors repeatedly. 4625 and 4673 in the security log. I'm not quite sure how long these have been ongoing but they were noticed yesterday. As far as we know nothing has been changed.
