Hi,

We've started getting a repeated error in our security log in the main SQL
and IIS server "SERVER01". The error is as follows:

Source: Security
Category: Logon/Logoff
Type: Failure Audit
Event ID: 529
User: NT Authority\system
Computer: Server01

Logon Failure:
Reason: Unknown username or bad password
Username: SQLServiceAccount
Domain: ourdomain
Logon Type: 2
Logon Process: Advapi
Authentication Package: Negotiate
Workstation name: Server01
Caller Username: SQLServiceAccount
Caller Domain: OURDOMAIN
Caller Logon ID: (0x0,0x1E68FE)
Caller process ID: 4432

The "SQLServiceAccount" is only used for logon by SQL and the ReportServer
service (used by CRM), both are started fine, i'm not aware of anything else
using the service account. "Server01" hosts all our websites and databases
for CRM/Sharepoint.

I could really do with some help where to start tracking this down (or a
magical quick fix!!) - the event is being logged sporadically around every 30
seconds or so, i'm not aware of any services being affected.

Thanks.

A partial fix for the time being... have found out that the problem is the
ReportServer service. Created a new SQL service account, restarted SQLService
and ReportServer services using this, disabled the old SQL Account. Now get
logon 5 errors old SQL account calling new SQL account. When i disable the
ReportServer service they logon failures stop. Have left the service disabled
as it doesn't seem to be affecting anything, could be from a legacy
application perhaps, though would like to know what it was!

Perhaps you should ask in
microsoft.public.sqlserver.security
or another of the sqlserver newsgroups ??
