In the application log on my SQL server i get a lot of messages saying:
Login failed for user 'DomainComputername$' [Client: "ip adress"]
Type: Failure Aud.
User: DomainComputername$
Source: MSSQLSERVER
Event ID: 18456
We recently upgraded to SQL 2005 from SQL 2000. We have most of our issues ironed out however about every 1 minute there is a message in the Application Event log and the SQL log that states:
EVENT ID 18456 Login Failed for the users DOMAIN/ACCOUNT [CLIENT: <local machine>]
This is a state 16 message which I thought meant that the account does not have access to the default database. The account is actually the account that the SQL services run under.
Any ideas? We can't seem to figure this one out. We actually upgraded to 2005 from 2000 and had an error appear after every reboot that prevented the SQL Agent from running(This application has failed to start because GAPI32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.) We did a full uninstall of SQL and reinstalled fresh and restored the databases from .bak files and that is when the EVENT ID 18546 started occuring every minute.
We don't have any SQL heavy hitters here so please be detailed with any possible solutions. That you very much for any help you can provide!
I am not a DBA, but have dealt with a number of POS applications that use SQL Server 2005 as their back end.
That said, I'm no pro, but I can generally keep a DB running. Here is my problem scenario:
Everyday, at least three times a day, the server spontaneously starts rejecting all connections. The event log shows repeated messages of Event ID 18456 which is a logon issue. The server continues to reject all connections from that point until the machine is restarted. Restarting the SQL server without restarting the machine accomplishes nothing...
Looking at the SQL logs gets some further information:
Event ID: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 10
Apparently, state is of some significance though all of the links I have found that explain what the various states mean leave out number 10. (such as here (http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=18456&eventno=8175&source=MSSQLSERVER&phase=1))
This problem did not start happening until 4 days ago. The only event I can think of that also happened at this time was the installation of PHP (which doesn't even touch SQL Server...)
We occasionally get the error Login Failure for 'Admin' (client: then IP address). The SQL 2005 server is set up to use windows authentication and no one uses an account called Admin. The people here use their windows logon to access the database. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I've got a clean SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition installation, with a domain account configured as the service account. My application log is now flooded with the following error message:

And when I open up the SQL logs, I'm getting two errors - one is essentially the same as the above, and the other is:
Date 5/25/2007 1:51:00 AM Log SQL Server (Current - 5/25/2007 1:51:00 AM)
Source Logon
Message Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 16.
Now I've seen all kinds of posts about granting rights to master and such - and I have, but these errors are not going away. I've gone so far as to create new service accounts and even switch over to the local system account - and the error still occurs. Does anyone have any insight into other routes / approaches I can take with this?
My SQL Server 2005 SP4 on Windows 2008 R2 is flooded with the below errors:-
Date  10/25/2011 10:55:46 AM Log  SQL Server (Current - 10/25/2011 10:55:00 AM) Source  spid Message Event Tracing for Windows failed to send an event. Send failures with the same error code may not be reported in the future. Error ID: 0, Event class ID: 54, Cause: (null).  Is there a way I can trace it how it is coming? When I check input buffer for these ids, it looks like it is tracing everything. All the general application DMLs are coming in these spids.
I have been testing with the WMI Event Watcher Task, so that I can identify a change to a file. The WQL is thus:
SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent within 30 WHERE targetinstance isa 'CIM_DataFile' AND targetinstance.name = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\AdventureWorks.bak'
This polls every 30 secs and in the SSIS Event (ActionAtEvent in the WMI Task is set to fire the SSIS Event) I have a simple script task that runs a message box).
My understanding is that the event polls every 30 s and if there is a change on the AdventureWorks.bak file then the event is triggered and the script task will run producing the message. However, when I run the package the message is occurring every 30s, meaning the event is continually firing even though there has been NO change to the AdventureWorks.bak file.
Am I correct in my understanding of how this should work and if so why is the event firing when it should not ?
Server 2003 SE SP1 5.2.3790 Sql Server 2000, SP 4, 8.00.2187 (latest hotfix rollup) We fixed one issue, but it brought up another. the fix we applied stopped the ServicesActive access failure, but now we have a failure on MSSEARCH.

We are facing the error 18456 since we have changed our O.S from Windows 2000 to XP .When we try to check the ODBC connection it works with 2000 but with xp we still hve this error .Some people advise me to check the security options but I dit not find any that could explain this problem.
I am not sure if th is is the right place to post this error but I am at my wits end on how resolve this problem My even viewer and log is logging this every min. This is happening on my MOSS 2007 production database server. I have been loooking on line and have not been able to find a concrete answer has anyone run into this problem and can you point me in the righ direction.

I am trying to connect to a remote SQL server via Management Studio. I am using the windows credentials I use to log into the computer but when I enter the same domainusername and password I get error 18456. I check the logs and see it is a state 6 error. After checking http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2006/02/21/536201.aspx I see that means Attempt to use a Windows login name with SQL Authentication
Is it possible for me to access a SQL server remotely?
I am using the Configure Publishing and Distribution Wizard in the SQL Server Enterprise Manager to configure a server as a Distribution and Publishing server. The security configuration on the server in question for authentication is SQL Server and Windows NT.
When I get to the first page in the wizard I select that I want to use the server as the Distributor. The other option is to use another server for the Distribution server - and this isn't what I want to do. The next page presents the option to use the default settings to configure the distribution databases or to configure the setup. If I select the default options I get the following error message when the arrow is pointing to Configuring Distributor:
---------------------------------------------- SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not configure 'SERVER1' as the Distributor for
'SERVER1'.
Error 18456: Login failed for user 'sa'. Remote logins for remote server 'repl_distributor' have been dropped. Server dropped. Server added. Server network name set.
----------------------------------------------
Something I have tried to change in order to fix this issue is the 'Replication agents on the Distributor log into the Publisher:' option from its default (By impersontating the SQL Agent account on 'SERVER1' (trusted connection)) to 'Using SQL Server Authentication of this account:', and in those fields I have put in 'sa' (which is a valid admin account to the SQL server) and the correct password.
In all cases I get the message above. Can anyone help me to see what I am doing wrong?
I have tried accessing a remote database in one of by stored procs using linked servers and also using OpenDataSource method. In both the cases , I am getting login failed error.

Hai, I'm using SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition in my windows XP SP2 machine. I have only 1 server to which my 4 client machines are connected. Whenever I'm connecting to my SSMS using my domain account I get an error message indicating ' Login failed for user 'domain nameaccount name'.(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456).I have tried with Microsoft's KB Article ID: 889646 and all other kind of stuffs. It's not helping me to sort out this problem. Could anyone help me outta here.
This error has come up time and again and I can't seem to find a solution.

The user is a member of an active directory group. When he connects from his workstation via Management Stuidio, the error is:

i am new to sql server 2005 express. I am trying to set up xp embedded database. I am trying to allow remote access to a central xp embedded database. i have the database on the sql server machine.
i am using the component database manager toll on a remote machine so that i can connect to the remote xp embedded database. when i try to connect to the db through sql server i get the following error in the log file.

XX.XX.XX.XX is the ip address of the client which is running component database manager tool.
Since some days, i have this problem : i changed RTCcomponentService password, and now, when the SQL Server RTC service start (correctly, with network service), i have this log error message : Login failed for user 'CGAUPARTCComponentService'. [CLIENT: <named pipe>] ErrorReportingManager: Error raised, major=184, minor=56, severity=14, attempting to create sym
so, the service run with network (nt authority) correctly, but i have this error message. I think that the sql server database connect with rtccomponentservice old password. How I can change the password on this connection ? or what is de default password for RTCcomponentService ?
Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 16. Login failed for user 'PRIsqlservice'. [CLIENT: 172.16.9.2]
in the log repeated every 15 seconds or so. I am logged into the server as prisqlservice, I have started the sql server and sql server agent with prisqlservice and I can access databases and tables inside the Server Management studio. I have set up the login prisqlservice and given it dbo owner access to all databases.
I am in the process of upgrading from 2000 to 2005. I have installed a new sql server 2005, restored backups of databases from 2000. I have also converted all packages and uploaded those to the new server (although they all point to the 2000 server). I have imported the jobs, but all but one are disabled and the one that is enabled ran okay when I ran it manually.
I have researched and researched this issue, and none seem to apply to my specific issue.

Hai, I'm using SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition in my windows XP SP2 machine. I have only 1 server to which my 4 client machines are connected. Whenever I'm connecting to my SSMS using my domain account I get an error message indicating ' Login failed for user 'domain name account name '. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456). I have tried with Microsoft's KB Article ID: 889646 and all other kind of stuffs. It's not helping me to sort out this problem. Could anyone help me outta here.
We just migrated to a new sql server with SQL Server 2005 installed (we moved from 2000).
We are experiencing two issues that we cannot resolve:
1. The site and database clients that use this SQL Server run very slow now. We have noticed that the lsass.exe process consistantly uses 25% CPU, +/- 10%. When we stop SQL server the lsass.exe process goes down to 0. What can be causing this? The website uses a SQL user account, not a windows user account.
2. We have an error in the event log that might be related to the issue above. It appears every few minutes:
Event Type: Failure Audit Event Source: MSSQLSERVER Event Category: (4) Event ID: 18456 Date: 10/25/2006 Time: 11:54:42 AM User: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM Computer: MSDB Description: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM'. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
I have a SQL 2005 SP1 test server running Developer Edition on top of Windows Server 2003 SP1. We're testing out a 3rd party application that is using Windows Authentication to connect to SQL 2005. The SQL Error Log is saturated with the error message listed in the subject line. The text accompanying the message alternates between "Login failed for user 'MYDOMAINTESTDA1$'. [CLIENT: <named pipe>]" and "Login failed for user 'MYDOMAINTESTDA1$'. [CLIENT: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]".
There are two strange parts to this: 1) The application appears to be working fine on the surface, and, 2) The MYDOMAINTESTDA1$ account mentioned in the error text is not the user account that we are using to connect the application to SQL 2005. TESTDA1 is the server name that the 3rd party software is running remotely from.
I've looked up "error state 11" using the following resource:
It describes error states 11 and 12 as "Valid login but server access failure" but I'm not sure what that means. Why would SQL care about the computer account hosting the application?
