I have a weird issue. There are a couple of SQL logins (on SQL 2000), I am able to connect to SQL using these logins using SSMS/ Enterprise Manager either locally/ remotely.

These logins are used by a couple of webservers and Filenet. I had run a trace and I see the logins getting failed in the trace file. I was struggling with this issue for the last 36 hours, I couldn't figure out what the issue is. I had deleted the logins and recreated them with the same ID/ password, and the issue didn't get resolved

Can you please give some inputs as to what might be the issue and how this can be resolved? Can I ask them to renter the credentials in all the places they use? If I may ask the app. teams to delete and reenter the credentials, where should I ask them to make the changes? (For ex: Connection string, IIS service etc). Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I think you need to first diagnose why the logins are failing?
Reasons could be:
1. Incorrect password.
2. Incorrect Initial Catalog(DB) mentioned in the connection string.

You need not to tell your developers where the login is being used, they must be knowing where a particular Login has been mentioned\Used.

But in case they dont have a track, you can find more using different columns, hostname, application name etc.
