Hi to all
We have situation at a client where someone is illegally changing passwords, reactivating sa user etc with a 3rd part tool. Does anyone know of any way to stop password updates.
Note we this guy is stopping sql agent services and auditing while he does whatever he does, so he causing some problems and sesetting password on a daily basis for us. Any help or advice would appreciated

If SQL server is in the client's data center I seriously doubt this is illegal. You cannot stop it happening as anyone with Administrator rights to the server can establish a DAC connection to the database and set whatever passwords they like. This is the way SQL Server is designed.
If the client is breaking your license agreement you need to raise it with them. Ultimately you can revoke the license.
