Before you dive in If you are NOT a DBA (Server Administrator) then read this. We had a number of online private chats using our website chat feature and we have identified there are a number of situations where you cannot sql state = 28000, error code = -4,214 do anything about it! We are aware some of you might be very new to this so I will provide you with simple list of questions or steps to check if you are in the 'cannot do anything about it' group. Before you start "fixing" it please go through the list below: Are you the person managing the server or the person who installed sql server (e.g. personal pc/laptop)? If no or you don't know, then there is a high chance you don't have permissions to fix it. What does it mean? It means you can only do what you are in control of (typing username, password) or trying steps that don't involve changing server configuration. If nothing works contact your server administrator (DBA). Are you connecting from an app (Visual Studio etc.) and not SSMS?

The number itself deliberately doesn't tell you much, so crackers can't use it for clues on where their attempts are going wrong. –Tony Hopkinson Jan 4 '14 at 16:10 8 @David if you see a duplicate question in SO, then mark this as such.

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 sql server error 'somedomainname\servername'. [SQLSTATE 28000] [Error 18456]. The 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".

Jan 24, 2012 at 08:44 AM JohnM There are additional states / reasons for SQL 2008 & R2, but that should be a good starting point. Jan 24, 2012 at 09:53 A
