Error: 17827 - failure while attempting to encrypt a password.Any suggestions?

  • In the middle of the night we received the following error on one of our 64bit 2005 servers; probably from a batch process.

    Error: 17827, Severity: 20, State: 1.

    There was a failure while attempting to encrypt a password. The connection has been closed.

    Any idea what this means. I found little while doing a Google search.

    Thanks, Dave

  • Yeah that's a new one on me. However, if it doesn't happen again, or often and doesn't appear to cause any ill effects just ignore it I suppose.
