Add/Delete Login audit (1/2 a solution)

  • I need to set up audits for adding and deleting logins. I added two alerts on the server for 15298 New Login Created and 15479 Login Dropped and have them log event to the Application event log.

    So, the first thing I notice is that they aren't logged when I add/delete logins from EM, only when I use sp_addlogin/sp_droplogin in QA. Can this be??!? Is there another way to audit these? Also, I set up the alerts to NET SEND me as well, and this only happens when I use QA. Are there other messages that get generated when I use EM, which I presume uses SQLDMO to do the dirty work?

  • Both of those IDs are raised using RAISERROR() in the appropriate stored procedures. EM uses sp_addlogin and sp_droplogin, at least according to a Profiler trace I just ran. You didn't, per chance, add and remove Windows logins through EM and regular SQL Server logins through QA, did you? If so, Windows accounts have different event IDs...

    15481 >> sp_grantlogin

    15485 >> sp_revokelogin

  • Worked...

    OK, so I added the other alerts and observed the following:

    EM -> delete domain login = 15485

    EM -> add domain login = 15481

    QA -> drop domain login (domain\loginID) with sp_droplogin = 15479

    QA -> add domain login (domain\loginID) with sp_addlogin = 15298

    Now I gotta get unicenter to scan the logs, oh joy.

    Thanks!
