Error 18456 State 6
Jul 3, 2007Hi,
I am trying to connect to a remote SQL server via Management Studio. I am using the windows credentials I use to log into the computer but when I enter the same domainusername and password I get error 18456. I check the logs and see it is a state 6 error. After checking http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2006/02/21/536201.aspx I see that means
Attempt to use a Windows login name with SQL Authentication
Is it possible for me to access a SQL server remotely?
Thanks
Setting Up Replication Gives Error 18456 - Please Help
Feb 29, 2000I am using the Configure Publishing and Distribution Wizard in the SQL Server Enterprise Manager to configure a server as a Distribution and Publishing server. The security configuration on the server in question for authentication is SQL Server and Windows NT.
When I get to the first page in the wizard I select that I want to use the server as the Distributor. The other option is to use another server for the Distribution server - and this isn't what I want to do. The next page presents the option to use the default settings to configure the distribution databases or to configure the setup. If I select the default options I get the following error message when the arrow is pointing to Configuring Distributor:
----------------------------------------------
SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not configure 'SERVER1' as the Distributor for
'SERVER1'.
Error 18456: Login failed for user 'sa'.
Remote logins for remote server 'repl_distributor' have been dropped.
Server dropped.
Server added.
Server network name set.
----------------------------------------------
Something I have tried to change in order to fix this issue is the 'Replication agents on the Distributor log into the Publisher:' option from its default (By impersontating the SQL Agent account on 'SERVER1' (trusted connection)) to 'Using SQL Server Authentication of this account:', and in those fields I have put in 'sa' (which is a valid admin account to the SQL server) and the correct password.
In all cases I get the message above. Can anyone help me to see what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for your time,

Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 11.
Apr 4, 2008
This error has come up time and again and I can't seem to find a solution.
Specs: SQL Server 2005 v9.00.3054 on x64, Windows Server 2003 SP2
The user is a member of an active directory group. When he connects from his workstation via Management Stuidio, the error is:
Login failed for user '<domain><user>'. [CLIENT: xx.xx.xx.xxx]
I've dropped and re-created the login for the group, but to no avail. I've tried
SELECT * FROM sys.server_principals
and I get a valid entry
<domain>/<user> 81 0x0105... G WINDOWS_GROUP 0 2008-04-04 13:05:00.667 2008-04-04 13:05:00.673 <dbname> us_english NULL
I've verified that the user is a db_owner in the database and that this database is the default for the group.
I also tried
SELECT endpnt.name,
suser_name(perms.grantee_principal_id) as grantee_principal,
perms.permission_name, perms.state_desc
FROM
sys.server_permissions perms,
sys.endpoints endpnt
WHERE
suser_name(perms.grantee_principal_id) = '<domain><user>''
and get
Dedicated Admin Connection <domain><user> CONNECT SQL GRANT
TSQL Local Machine <domain><user> CONNECT SQL GRANT
TSQL Named Pipes <domain><user> CONNECT SQL GRANT
TSQL Default TCP <domain><user> CONNECT SQL GRANT
TSQL Default VIA <domain><user> CONNECT SQL GRANT
Any ideas? Thanks in advance
Connection Failed: 18456 Error
Oct 5, 2006When one of my users creates an ODBC connection to a SQL database using Windows authentication, he gets this error:
Connection failed: SQLState: '28000' SQL Server Error: 18456
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user
'Domainusername'
The thing is, the 'Domainusername' is not his username and I have no idea where or why it is trying to use that username.
Ideas?

Dec 21, 2006I am getting the error
Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 16.
Login failed for user 'PRIsqlservice'. [CLIENT: 172.16.9.2]
in the log repeated every 15 seconds or so. I am logged into the server as prisqlservice, I have started the sql server and sql server agent with prisqlservice and I can access databases and tables inside the Server Management studio. I have set up the login prisqlservice and given it dbo owner access to all databases.
I am in the process of upgrading from 2000 to 2005. I have installed a new sql server 2005, restored backups of databases from 2000. I have also converted all packages and uploaded those to the new server (although they all point to the 2000 server). I have imported the jobs, but all but one are disabled and the one that is enabled ran okay when I ran it manually.
I have researched and researched this issue, and none seem to apply to my specific issue.

Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456
Nov 22, 2007Hai,
I'm using SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition in my windows XP SP2 machine. I have only 1 server to which my 4 client machines are connected. Whenever I'm connecting to my SSMS using my domain account I get an error message indicating ' Login failed for user 'domain name account name '. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456). I have tried with Microsoft's KB Article ID: 889646 and all other kind of stuffs. It's not helping me to sort out this problem. Could anyone help me outta here.
Lsass.exe High Cpu, Error 18456
Oct 25, 2006We just migrated to a new sql server with SQL Server 2005 installed (we moved from 2000).
We are experiencing two issues that we cannot resolve:
1. The site and database clients that use this SQL Server run very slow now. We have noticed that the lsass.exe process consistantly uses 25% CPU, +/- 10%. When we stop SQL server the lsass.exe process goes down to 0. What can be causing this? The website uses a SQL user account, not a windows user account.
2. We have an error in the event log that might be related to the issue above. It appears every few minutes:
Event Type: Failure Audit
Event Source: MSSQLSERVER
Event Category: (4)
Event ID: 18456
Date: 10/25/2006
Time: 11:54:42 AM
User: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM
Computer: MSDB
Description:
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM'. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
The error log from SQL gives more info:
Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 16.
What is causing this? How can this be traced?
I am stuck here. All help greatly appreciated.

Error: 18456 Severity: 14, State: 11
Aug 4, 2006I have a SQL 2005 SP1 test server running Developer Edition on top of Windows Server 2003 SP1. We're testing out a 3rd party application that is using Windows Authentication to connect to SQL 2005. The SQL Error Log is saturated with the error message listed in the subject line. The text accompanying the message alternates between "Login failed for user 'MYDOMAINTESTDA1$'. [CLIENT: <named pipe>]" and "Login failed for user 'MYDOMAINTESTDA1$'. [CLIENT: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]".
There are two strange parts to this: 1) The application appears to be working fine on the surface, and, 2) The MYDOMAINTESTDA1$ account mentioned in the error text is not the user account that we are using to connect the application to SQL 2005. TESTDA1 is the server name that the 3rd party software is running remotely from.
I've looked up "error state 11" using the following resource:
http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2006/02/21/536201.aspx
It describes error states 11 and 12 as "Valid login but server access failure" but I'm not sure what that means. Why would SQL care about the computer account hosting the application?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 5
Apr 28, 2008When I try to make a connection to my SQL Database I get the following error in the ERRORLOG file for SQL:
Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 5
Login failed for user 'xxx'. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
I can verify that the user 'xxx' does exist and has the proper password in Active Directory. This error did not start happening until I re-installed SQL Server 2005 (I had another issue that has been resolved). I cannot pin-point this problem. Any help???
Thanks...
Error 18456 Login Failed For User ""
Feb 12, 2001I get this error when trying to connect. I'm using the sa id and password for all of my odbc connections. It fails when trying to connect to this one but it's ok on a couple of others I've set up with the same id etc.
Where is this "" coming from and how to avoid it in the future?
I've removed and recreated the connection to be sure that I didn't actually type that in as the id....hey it's monday...it could happen.

Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 11 When Logging In
Sep 15, 2007I just installed SQL Server 2005 with SP2 on Vista. When I try to login from SQL Server Management Studio, I get the following error message in the log:
---
2007-09-15 18:58:02.23 Logon Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 11.
2007-09-15 18:58:02.23 Logon Login failed for user '<computer name><user account>'.[CLIENT: <local machine>]
---
Since I can't login, I can't try some of the stuff I have seen here, such as creating new logins etc.
I installed Analysis Server and Integration Services at the same time. Logging in to them both works fine.
I use windows authentication. I don't know if changing that helps, as I don't know how to change it without logging in in the first place...

Error 18456 When Trying To Connect To 2005 Using Odbc
Oct 1, 2006Hi all
I am using Windows XP SP2 with a Sql server 2005 Express installation. I created a test db with a user called test, schema also test. I gave the permission connect, db_datareader and db_datawriter. I can now connect into this user using WinSQL. But if I want to connect using a application which is using ODBC, then I get the error:
[SQLSTATE=28000 - [Microsoft][SQL Native][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'test'.[Native Error=18456]]
Because I connect using ODBC, I think there must be the problem. But I have to connect with ODBC. There is no other possibility.
any ideas ?
Regards, Waff
I found this out:
The server collation is defined to: Latin1_General_CI_AS
If I create a new login id in lowercase, then ODBC will change it to uppercase and then the server refuse the access. But why. CI means case insensitive, so doesn't matter if upper or lower case. should.
How do you use a id in lowercase and connecto via ODBC ?
