hi all,
i'm not sure why each time i open login properties for sql users (sql authentication) even to have a look at permissions and i press ok, enterpise manager asks me to confirm password, and if i write down the good known password, it refuses it; so i must type in the password in 'general' tab, then retype it at the confirmation password popup and everything goes fine since the next time i have to see someting about users.
system is:
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.818 (Intel X86) May 31 2003 16:08:15 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.0 (Build 2195: Service Pack 4)
Italian localized versions.
any ideas?
thanks in advance
Paolo

Install service pack 3a on the machine where you are having a problem, then install security patch 818. These can and should be installed on all machines that have the SQL Client tools installed.

hi tara, thank you for your reply.
as you can see machine is already sp3a + 818 (Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.818)
Do you think I have to re-apply them?
Thank you again.

I have had a problem on one of our SQL servers where the SA account was showing this behavior. I was able to fix it with this:

During the troubleshooting of this problem I also came across this, however it did not apply to my situation. Maybe it will help you:
