''NT AUTHORITY/ANAONYMOUS LOGIN'' Error after Windows Update and Restart

  • Hi all. I am experiencing a very strange problem. I manage approx. 12 Servers all running 2000. All are running Mixed Mode. This weekend we installed Windows Updates (alot of them) on both servers and clients. After the updates were installed, the servers were restarted. Since then, when I attempt to connect to one server in particular using Windows Authentication, I get the following error (in Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer):

    SQL Server Enterprise Manager

    SQL Server registration failed becuase of the connection failure displayed below. Do you wish to modify anyway?

    Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGIN'

    I am logged into our domain and a member of Domain Admins, etc...

    Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank You in advance.

  • Thanks for the info, but I am running ONLY 2000 and have NO linked servers either to or from this server. It is a pretty basic setup. So far, we are seeing the errors when an XP workstation attempts to connect to this server using windows authentication. Almost all of the Windows 2000 Pro workstations appear to connect to this server via Windows Authentication fine (so far out of 4 I have found 1 that doesn't... Developer workstation). Still looking. Any help is appreciated.

  • It's a secure channel/AD thing. For some reason your token isn't being accepted.

    Check times (need to be fairly synched) among machines. Check the AD channels (need a network/AD person to do this) for both machines.

  • Thanks Steve.

    One other thing. The server itself... When I login via Remote Desktop and launch Enterprise Manager/ Query Analyzer, I can authenticate via windows authentication (don't know if this helps). When checking the AD channels, should I be checking the clients to the SQL Server, the clients to AD Servers (Domain controllers), or SQL Server to AD Servers?

    Please Advise.
