Keep getting failed logins after login account has been deleted

  • Today I migrated two databases from one SQL Server 2008 R2 instance to another instance on our cluster. I removed all associated jobs and the SQL Server login. I continue to get "Login Failed" messages in the SQL Server Error Log. Can you tell me what I missed in the migration process?

    Message

    Login failed for user 'vtiger'. Reason: Could not find a login matching the name provided. [CLIENT: 136.150.170.32]

    Message

    Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 5.

    I did a tracert and the server that has the IP address in the first message above is the server that is using the database I migrated. I checked the two ODBC connection on this server and they both point to the new instance now.... I do not know what is causing these errors to occur. Any advice would be greatlyl appreciated.

  • That user is being used in a connection string somewhere. It could also be in use by somebody who knows the pw to that account. Check to see if anybody might be trying that account from somewhere.
