We have a Windows 2000 Server and SQL Server 2000. Lately in my event
viewer - Application Log I see just thousands of entries that state
18456 :
Login failed for user 'sa'. It happens just at random times and as far
as I know doesn't affect the server or access to it in any way.
Has anyone experinced this before? My first guess would be that it
could be some program trying to use the local 'sa' userID to login in
to SQL.
Any suggestions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
AlekHi Alek,
I would suggest using SQL Profiler to trace the login attempts. If your
server is accessed via the Internet I would also look at your firewall logs.
