Login failed for user ''{name}''

  • I turned on auditing and my SQL logs filled with "Login failed for user 'lawprodcr'.". This is a known account used by my reporting system. Is there a way to find out what server or workstation is trying to make this connection? I want to known if I am being hacked, or someone just has a report running with the wrong password.

  • I don't think you can enable it thru the logs.

    But you can set a profiler trace, only showing Security audit information. and it will tell you the host machine etc.

     

  • You could also look at the windows event log which should contain an entry for each failure, not sure if it indicates workstation.  As previously mentioned you could create a profiler trace looking for that specific login.
