Sql Server is automatically logging out users?

  • just installed sql2ksp4 on a production server yesterday.

    ever since the restart the sql server log is just flooded with login succeeded messages.

    when i run a profiler trace to audit login/ logout every command issued is seemingly resulting in a log out event.

    all the applications seem to be fine, but it is just flooding my log and the one that fails from a service is just hammering my pager which would normally only happen whenever the server restarts.

    any thoughts on what could cause this behavior?

  • Check to see if your database properties got changed to AUTOCLOSE (Enterprise Manager, right click on the database, select Properties, go to the Options tab).

  • went thruough all of them and none were set to autoclose

    didnt think to look for it right away because if it was closing i would expect to see starting database appear in the log as well.

     

     

  • In Enterprise Manager check Server Properties | Security Level.  Perhaps your Audit Level is now 'All'?

    That shouldn't change with a SP4 apply though. We've done dozens of SP4 applies and our regular Audit level setting of 'Failure' has not been affected. 

  • When you're logged on through Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer, do you see the same behavior with respect to your connection in SQL Profiler?
