Using same service account for cluster and SQL

  • Hi friends,

    I have a production server on SQL 2005 active /active cluster.

    Recently I am getting some logon error like

    SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x80090311 while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has been closed. [CLIENT: <IP>]

    and also

    logon errors for a second instance

    Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 10.

    The first error ,I learned ,denotes that the AD couldnot authenticate the user and

    the second error seems to occur when SQL service account is locked.

    A restart solved the problem for the time being.

    We are using same account to run the cluster service and for SQL server. Is there any problem with this?

    Please someone shed some light regarding this.

  • Hi,

    I'm not sure is related to the issue you are seeing, but I think you should run cluster and SQL services with different accounts, this way you can change their passwords only to the account you need it.

    To see if you are getting some login failed issues with your account you may use the toool lockoutstatus from microsoft.

    Regards.
