Error 18456 Login Failed For User
I have two servers. Both of the servers have two different database that will be joined together using SQL Server Agent. However, during this activity SQL Server is throwing a Log In Failed Error. The job failed. The job was invoked by User somedomain\someuser. The last step to run was step 2 [somedatabasename]. The job was requested to start at step 1 [somejobstepname]. Executed as user: NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT. Login failed for user 'somedomainname\servername'. [SQLSTATE 28000] [Error 18456]. The error 18456 login failed for user sa step failed. Can anyone help me with this? I have searched the internet and some experts suggested that this is due to my user ID (i.e. \kanchan.barua) and server agent user ID (i.e. \SQLSERVERAGENT) being two different user ID. Hence I tried to change from \SQLSERVERAGENT to \kanchan.barua. But it is also showing an error. The error reads: WMI Provider Error. Access is denied. [0x80070005]. How can I solve this error? PS: One thing I forgot to mention. I can normally run a query using both the database in separate server. However whenever try to use server job agent, this connection problem is showing. sql-server sql login share|improve this question asked Mar 15 '14 at 13:33 Sadat Mainuddin 1113 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote Run "SQL Server Configuration Manager" Select "SQL Server Services" Right Click "SQL Server Agent" and choose properties On the "log on " tab ,choose "this account".

NT SERVICE\MSSQLSERVER NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT Now we have couple of SQL Agent jobs which are running fine error 18456 on one server but not on the other. The jobs accesses the user databases and does read/write. The failed one has the following error message Message Executed as user: Domain\SQLServiceAccount. Login failed for user Domain\SQLServiceAccount'. [SQLSTATE 28000] (Error 18456). The step failed. I have verified the local security policies on both servers and I didn't notice any difference. I know if we add the service account as login failed for SQL SA will resolve the issue but would like to know how it's working on other machine. Can anyone seen this behavior and does the SQL service account has to be explicitly added as SQL SA? Thursday, December 02, 2010 12:38 AM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote This error message means "A valid domain account tries to access SQL Server where it is not explicitly added". For this job to run correctly this account needs to have a valid logon permissions to SQL Server. Moreover if this account is not part of the Local Administrators on the machine or BUILTIN\Administrators group does not have sysadmin privileges on the box, the service account needs to be added as a "sysadmin" on the SQL Server instance. Please read through this article to find out the minimum permissions required for a Service Account.
