Login failed for user ''sa''

  •  

    Sql server 2005 Enterprise with Windows 2003 Server

    Description:

    In my Event Viewer :

    Login failed for user 'sa'. [CLIENT: 211.233.38.77]

    each 5 seconds.

    How I can stop this?

    thank you

  • Is the authentication set to NT only, or mixed mode?

  • mixed mode

  • On the client site check programs that are triing to logon to your SQL server.

    I had similar programs long tima ago, when password for 'sa' user was changed and SQL Enterprise Manager was constantly triing to logon to SQL Server.

  • The IP looks like an Internet address, if so then block port 1433 in your firewall.

    If you have a valid DMZ access need then be sure to open port 1433 for that IP address.

    SQL Server access from the Internet is risky, re: the Slammer worm.
