Good and Bad users

  • Hi!

    Few days ago I noticed frequent error messages on all MS SQL servers:

    =====================================================================

    Security:537

    Logon Failure:

    Reason:An unexpected error occurred during logon User Name:

    Domain:

    Logon Type:3

    Logon Process:Kerberos

    Authentication Package:Kerberos

    Workstation Name:-

    =====================================================================

    As I figured out, this error happens when the only user logs on. This is the sequence,

    when "Bad" user logs on:

    Event Type:Failure Audit

    Event Source:Security

    Event Category:Logon/Logoff

    Event ID:537

    Date:04.08.2003

    Time:17:07:13

    User:NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

    Computer:SQLSRV

    Description:

    Event Source:Security

    Event ID:538

    Date:04.08.2003

    The "Bad" one does not complain about any problems when logging on.

    What causes these errors and how to stop them?

    Thanks.
