SQL Server 2005 ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ SQL Server ConnectivityFebruary 21, 2006411 0 0 0 In continuing with the theme of understanding error messages I'll discuss the "login failed" messages that are surfaced by the client and written error 18456 state 1 to the server's error log (if the auditlevel is set to log failures on error 18456 sql server 2008 login which is the default) in the event of an error during the login process. If the server encounters an error error 18456 state 5 that prevents a login from succeeding, the client will display the following error mesage. Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Server "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Sqlstate 28000 Error 18456

come across, and hopefully tha Error/Event 18456 explained ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Michael Aspengren - MSFTJuly 14, error 18456 sql 2008 r2 20080 0 0 0 Sometimes you may experience that your application, stand alone or web, can't connect to SQL Server. error 18456 severity 14 state 8 This error is simply reported as 18456, and the error text is "Login failed for user ‘username'" Well, you already had understood that you could not login in, since your login failed. So the https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/sql_protocols/2006/02/21/understanding-login-failed-error-18456-error-messages-in-sql-server-2005/ error message is not very helpful. Now, there is good reason for this, and that is security. For example, if the message would be something like ‘Password incorrect for user ‘User'", then a person that is trying to gain access to your server would have gotten a confirmation that this user exists, making it easier for them potentially gain access since they now only have to focus on https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/spike/2008/07/14/errorevent-18456-explained/ the password instead of figuring out if the user exists at all. So, for example, if trying to access with an existing user called ‘AUser' with an incorrect password using sqlcmd, you will in the command prompt see the following: Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Server , Line 1 Login failed for user ‘AUser'. and in the Event Viewer you would have: Event Type: Failure Audit Event ID: 18456 Login failed for user ‘AUser'. [CLIENT: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] It does not tell us much, except that the login failed for the user ‘AUser'.Hopefully this is your SQL Server, and you know the DBA (or you are the DBA), then in order to get a little bit more information on why you failed to login is to consult the SQL Server log. This is normally found at: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\
x) with SQL Server ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Sakthivel ChidambaramFebruary 6, 20116 0 0 0 I know that there are lot of articles over the internet world with this topic… But this article is from my perspective which has detailed https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/sqlsakthi/2011/02/06/troubleshoot-connectivitylogin-failures-18456-state-x-with-sql-server/ troubleshooting steps… The main problem with troubleshooting connectivity issues with SQL Server is because https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/sqlserverfaq/2010/10/27/troubleshooting-specific-login-failed-error-messages/ the error message returned to client is almost generic and incase of login failures, the state is always 1 So let me give you step-by-step approach in troubleshooting connectivity issues with SQL Server. Here is a flow of how connection to SQL Server is made: 1. Protocol used for making connections to SQL Server Connecting is made error 18456 using a protocol based on the "Client Protocols" order specified in your local box. In the case of screenshot given above, the connection made to any SQL Server fromthis client machinewill use "Shared Memory" protocol first and if that connection fails, it will try to use "TCP/IP" protocol and if that fails, connection request will be made using "Named Pipes" protocol. This is because I have all three protocols "Enabled" and I error 18456 state have specified the order in this way. Shared Memory protocol can be used only for local server connections whereby SQL Server should be running in the same box where you are trying connect. This protocol will not help you to connect to a Clustered SQL Server instance because the IP address of SQL Server is different from your local node. You can also force to use specific protocol using syntax: TCP:SQLSRVRNAME\INSTANCE for forcing connections to use TCP/IP protocol NP:SQLSRVNAME\INSTANCE for forcing connections to use Named Pipe protocol instead you can also use \\.\pipe\instancename\sql\query LPC:SQLSRVNAME\INSTANCE for forcing connections to use Shared Memory protocol. LPC stands for Local Procedure Call. If you force these protocols, then connectivity will happen only using specific protocol and if that fails, connection will fail without trying with further protocols. If you are connecting using a SQL Server alias created in the local client, then the protocol specified in the alias will only be used. 2. Connecitivity flow when using TCP/IP Protocol While making connections using TCP/IP protocol, the client driver will check whether the instance is DEFAULT instance (MSSQLSERVER is the instance name for default instance) and if yes, the connection is made directly to port 1433 using TCP protocol to the target SQL Server Instance. For ex: If S
