Not quite: the authentication is successful, but the authorization is
not. That usually means that you have the user account "GUEST" enabled
on the server. Disable that account and you'll be fine.

As I said above: disable the guest account on the server/domain
controller. Because windows allows *all* users to authenticate as guest,
but you don't have given that user the authorization to access your
repository.
