Process Monitor Program_Name question

  • I am updating our Invalid Login code and noticed several different references to SQL in the sysprocesses table. I'm trying to understand the difference between the three (as in what it means / what activity is causing this to pop up as the program name).

    Here's what I'm seeing:

    Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio – Query (This one is pretty obvious, someone is logged into a SSMS query window)

    Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

    Microsoft SQL Server

    What type of activity causes the later two to pop up, though? What is the difference between the two?

    Does anyone know?

    Could the second one be from Object Explorer or similar? I think you get the third for linked server queries.

  • I believe there was another recent thread that said scheduled jobs that are executing use "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio", i believe, which was very misleading, since it's not really SSMS running the queries.

    I did notice that Object Explorer and the Import / Export wizard both trigged the second one. But it's also trigged by something else which we couldn't track down. I'm hoping someone else has more input on this one.

    As far as the Linked Server for the third one... That makes sense given what I'm seeing this morning.
