The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Error 18456 SQL Server login failed for user

Asked by cancerkats in MS SQL Server

Tags: , , ,

Hello all,

Thank you for viewing this query. My query is as follows:

I have a SQL Server which was replicated from Server 1 to Server 2(as we want the website to be moved on to the 2nd server which runs on windows 2000). So, now in the second server the replicated SQL server is available. I have moved the webpages to the new server and am trying to create a DNS.

While i try to create the system DNS, it asks me for the dns name and server name, now which server must i choose? been given 3 options:

local, server 1, server 2.

must i choose local??

i tried choosing local (as the sql server is already in the server 2) and clicked next, and chose

"with sql server authetication using a login and password entered by user"

and entered the same login and password that was used for dsn in server 1 ......and i get the error

connection failed, sql state 25000
SQL Server Error : 18456
Login failed for the user "the login name i used"

(i had also changed the security authetication from "windows only" to "windows and sql server"  . well, was asked to stop and resatrt sql server for this ...and i reight clicked on sql server (in enterprise manager to stop and start...is that all i must do for that?))


what must i do to be able to create dns successfully? are there anything else i must take into consideration? please help.

thanks

regards,
