More on that login problem - found the logs -

When I try to make a new SQL Server registration
I get server does not exist or access denied...
Hi,
Verify that you are using both SQL Server and Windows authentication using
server Properties and look in the Security tab (I believe that you are
really using both SQL Server and Windows authentication since log messages
for Windows only authentication would show "Login failed for user 'sa'.
Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection").
Which account are you using to connect to the database? Has the password for
this account been changed?

|||Ben:
I see that I'm using both SQL Server and Windows authentication; I see too
that under
"Startup service account" (also in the security tab) startup runs the
System Account. WHen I choose "This account" it defaults to "LocalSystem"
and a password I don't now - I'm scared to try this -
Under "registered SQL server properties" "Use windows NT authentication"
is checked. WHen I try to use SQL authenticaton nothing works - no matter
what
combo of login name and password I try ...
Should I try to make a new SQL server registration ?
All this is clear as mud - if anyone from MS reads this; boys, why do you
have
to make it so hard, so confusing , so badly documented ? It's hard enough
using it
productivly when you can get it in in the first place ...

how much space is left on my trans logs?

Are there any good monitoring tools that would notify us upon CPU,Disk
space, blocking, errors/warnings in event logs,etc..
We use Sitescope and it doesnt seem to be a robust tool

Hi,
Have a look into Microsoft operation manager (MOM). See the below URL for
details:-

I'm doing a trial deployment of MOM and finding it a bit more than we may
need. I like the extensibility via the management packs, but it may be too
big, too expensive and to tell the truth, a bit 'finicky' in setting up and
maintaining. Right now I have more alerts about MOM itself to figure out and
fix than the SQL servers we are attempting to monitor.
I'm a network engineer, not a SQL DBA. All I really want is something that
alerts when a job fails, lets us know if the SQL Agent isn't running and a
few other server statistics.
I'm going to look into Idera and Agileinfo.
Does anyone have any other recomendations? I know vendors like to throw in
the kitchen sink when it comes to features. In this case, for me, KISS is
more like my guiding principle.

Hi,
We have a large number of SQL servers that we are supporting. Monitoring the
error logs for new errors is really a big task as we have to manually check
these error logs. I was hoping that some of you might have automated this
process and filtered out the unwanted messages from the error log and mail
only the genuine ones. If anyone can share it with the group, it will be
terrific as you will be giving us extra minutes of sleep each night.
Thanking you in anticipation,
Yoga
You'll need to define for yourself what a wanted message is.
One option is to use finstr to search for whatever it is you
are looking for - you can find examples in these articles:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=115519
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/viewscript.asp?scriptid=40
You can automate those in a job.
Another consideration is how you set up and use your alerts
and monitoring on the servers. For most things you can be
notified if monitoring is set up correctly.
Of course there are a lot of third party solutions but I
take it your looking for scripts and built in solutions.

I've selected those terms , as error logs I'm not interested in. It takes a
parameter , being the server name . I've got it wrapped on another sp that
runs through the servers , hitting the the error log sp , and then if
