You could turn off logon/logoff auditing :-)

There are many reasons why you'd see anonymous logons in your event log,
particularly with NT 4.0, which uses null sessions for browsing and to read
the user account list and do SID->name translation on remote machines. In
.NET Server we're adding more information to make it easier to interpret
logon events.
