When I have a log entry like below ... what does "xxxx" represent?
06/09/2013 20:35:35,Logon,Unknown,Login failed for user 'WORK\xxxx'. Reason: Could not find a login matching the name provided. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
"WORK" represents the Computer Name.
I'm assuming "xxxx" represents the User ID? This confuses me greatly because that name ("xxxx") is not represented in either SQL Server Logins OR Windows Logins - so were exactly is it coming from?
Your help appreciated.
Thank you.
