Error 1418, NT AUTHORITY\Anonymous login

Hello All!

Can you help me with that problem:

I want to mirror some database to another server (without witness server)

I have 2 machines, where Microsoft SqL '05 Developer Edition SP1 installed.

Two machines working in domain network, one of them is a server, secondmachine enters into domain with username and password.

I can ping each machine by the ip adress and by the networks name, like a.machine.com, b.machine.com

TCP/IP is enabled in Server Configuration.

What I DO:

1. Create full backup of my database on server A

2. Create full backup of transaction logs on server A

3. Restore my database and transaction logs from backup WITH NO RESTORE on server B

4. On machine A: I open tasks -> mirroring properties dialog (configuring mirroring) and go to configure security dialog.

5. I use standart properties (port, endpoint name, ecryption)

6. On page "Mirror Server Instanse" i click "Browse for more" and type there server B adrress (b.machine.com). Click connect.

7. Server configuring was sucsessful

8. Server network addresses were:

Principal : TCP://a.machine.com:5022

Mirror : TCP://b.machine.com:5022

9. I click Start Mirroring but system gives me error:
Error 1418, The Server network address can not be reached or does not exists.

I open logs on machine b (mirror server):
Message

Database Mirroring login attempt by user 'NT AUTHORITY\Anonymous login.' failed with error:
'Connection handshake failed. The login 'NT AUTHORITY\Anonymous login' does not have CONNECT permission on the endpoint.
State 84.'. [CLIENT: 172.168.0.130]

and this message before:
The database 'mybase' is marked RESTORING and is in a state that does not allow recovery to be run.

When I configured database mirroring, i choose "Windows Authentication", Why 'NT AUTHORITY\Anonymous login.' ...?

This SQL Server message indicates that the server network address cannot be reached or does not exist, and it suggests that you check the network address name and reissue the command. http://www.sql-server-performance.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=14871 fyi.|||

Hi

From the errors it looks like your SQL Server is not using domain account to run SQL Server service.

Please use a domain account and ensure that account has permissions on the Database mirroring endpoints.

I did it!

My error was:

I don't add domain user in security -logins at both servers.

Whet i added my user1 to server A and server B - it workes!

Jag Sandhu - thank you for your reply, I used domain accounts, but i forgot to allow access for current user in database.
