Unknown user trying to log!

  • Hi! i have a challenge for you 🙂

    There is a user 'RECOVER' trying to access to a SQL7 Server (i saw it in the SQL logs), but the user doesn't exists neither as a server login, or a db user, or a login from the connected linked servers. How can i trace them? There is another kind of login that i missed to check? What can i do????

    Thanks in advance, and sorry by my English

  • Try running the SQL Profiler and select Security audit,it gives the info. about all the users who are trying to log in.

  • I don't found that option, remember that i'm working with SQL 7, maybe that option is available en 2000....

  • is it an domain user name. They get access through a domain group.

  • I think in SQL 7.0 it is under logins instead of security audit as in SQL 2000

  • Simon, you are saying that 'RECOVER' is a NT User? or you are asking me?

    Simon says: is it an domain user name. They get access through a domain group.

  • Look at connections.
