Looking for Login attempts

Hi,
I want to be able to check who is attempting to login to
my database using
1. NT authentication
2. SQL authentication
Does this happen by default? Is there a log somewhere that
I can go to to see 'Bill tried to login on 10/9/03 but
gave the wrong password'?
CheersHi,
No it wont happen by default.
How to enable audit
Go to enterprise manager and select the server you need to audit then,
1. Right click above the server and select properties
2. Select security tab and select Audit level as ALL.
Thanks
Hari

Indeed. It would also be nice if it included where the
connection came from(workstation, ip address etc) More
information is better in this case.|||>--Original Message--
