sa login

  • I changed my sa password about a month ago. Since then, I get 30-40 messages a day about an invalid attempt by sa to login. All my scheduled jobs are completing normally and I cannot figure out where these attempts are originating. Anyone have any ideas on how to trap this data?

  • Maybe you have an application which uses the sa password. Create a trace with profiler to trap this kind of events (Security Audit - Audit Login Failed)

    Hope this helps.

  • Hopefully you can track an IP or hostname. If you can't, you might need a network sniffer to find the traffic.

  • I followed the advice from TMP and found it was a service running that was no longer needed. Thanks for the advice.
