SQL Server error: Login failed for user 'domainmachine'.

thedavegray

Hi,

I would like to add databases using an account other than my own, it has less privileges and is used as a service account for other RedGate products.
I've gone into services.msc and changed the logon for "DLM Dashboard Monitoring Service" as per the instructions and restarted the service. The error I get
is telling me that the DLM page is tring to login with domainmachineName, not the account I specified.

Any ideas?

Hi thedavegrey,

Did you change the account for the "DLM Dashboard Web Server" service as well? If not, trying that might fix the issue.

Yes that works, thanks.

Not what it says in the docs though.

It should do - step 6 on this page (http://documentation.red-gate.com/displ ... er+account) I think? But thanks for the feedback, it's useful to know that those instructions aren't clear enough. I'll see what I can do to make them clearer.
