Login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: The account is disabled. SQL Server

As the error says the particular login is Disabled. Thus, we need to enable the user.

Follow these steps to enable the user.

Go to start -> programs.
Open Sql server management studio
Login to the SQL server (using windows authentication).
Expand the security tab.
Expand the Login folder.
Select the user for which you got this error. In this case 'sa'.
Right click and select properties.
Enable the user.
Save settings.

Now it should work fine. Hope this will help.

    Unfortunately the sa account is the only login on my SQL Server and the Windows Authentication is greyed out. Finally I managed to enable the disabled sa account using a software.

Create a background / taskbar application in c# .NET

Recently, I was working on integration of two windows applications. First application will launch the second application on login and then they both will communicate using pre-defined set of instructions. There were some complications (I am not going into them) and thus we decided to have a third application which actually will act as mediator. First application will launch the mediator (third application) and it will launch the second application. For this purpose we needed to create a task bar application (which will run in background). How To ·          Create a new windows project and delete the default form (Form1). ·          In Program.cs create a new class and inherit it from Form. ·          Please refer the code below. ·          Now change the Main method.

Check SQL Server Job status (State) using sp_help_job and xp_sqlagent_enum_jobs

This article is about checking the status of a SQL job. In our work place we have lot of SQL jobs. These jobs will run whole day and are business critical. They will load the data and generate extracts which will be used by business people. Thus, it becomes quite essential to support the system efficiently so that the job finishes in time and as desired. Also, while designing a new system sometimes we need to check the dependency of one job over another. In such scenario we need to check whether a particular job has finished or not. All this can be achieved in SQL Server by using the procedures:- sp_help_job xp_sqlagent_enum_jobs Note: xp_sqlagent_enum_jobs is an undocumented proc inside of sp_help_job and is used extensively to get SQL agent job information. sp_help_job: This procedure gives some insight into the status, and information, about a job. This stored procedure provides information such as last start time, job status etc. Syntax sp_help_job { [ @job_id= ] jo...
