Hi,
I am trying to connect to one of our MS SQL 2000 server from my local PC SSMS and it gives me an error message as :
cannot generate sspi context. (Microsoft SQL Server)
This server, I was able to connect previously but not sure what happened, all the windows authentication users are getting the same error.
When I logon to the server remotely and saw that the SQL Services are running and I am able to open the enterpirse manager.
I looked at the microsoft forum about this issue but I am not able to fix it.
The microsoft forum : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811889
I know its something to do with the windows security for this application.
Can anyone help me to solve this issue.
The server is on WIndows 2003 with SP1
and SQL Server : 2000 with SP4
Thanks in advance,
Sree

Sree,
Check this: http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2005/10/15/481297.aspx
Apart check,
once I got this error because of mismatch of time/clock between client and server machines. Also, once Windows account password was changed and I was using for integrated security. I rebooted my client machine after password sync with AD worked fine.

Thanks for your reply Sanjay
There is no difference in the time/clock in the client and server machines. I will look into the link further to troubleshoot.
I will post the updates after going with the forum you have provided.
Thanks,

I have come across this issue quite a while ago now but it had something to do with domain account under which sql erver instance was running.
1. does your sql server run under domain account?
2. did you change the doamin account using which you sql server starts?

also the account under which sql server is running does that have sufficient rights?

sorry for keep adding single posts but i've just thought of something else.
did you change sql server service accounts password?
if yes then did you restart sql server after that?

Hi Vivek,
Thanks for your reply.
We use the domain account for the sql server and there was no password change for this account.
I have restarted the SQL Server but still no improvement.
Actually, it was running fine but someone from our server team has upgraded Tivoli Manager from version 4 to 5.5 version and rebooted the server.
Once they rebooted for some reason the sql services didnt start automatically.
When I checked on the server I was getting an error saying :
Error: this application has failed to start because msvcr71.dll was not found
I got a forum from IBM for this issue, the forum link : http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21307083
This is exactly the same happened on our server what this forum explains and I have to replace the 4 dll files and then restart the Sql Services.
After restarting everything was looking fine until next day when one of my co-worker informed me that he cannot connect to this server from his local SSMS and it was giving the SSPI error message.
When I checked at my pc, I was also facing the same situation and from this I got one thing that all the Windows account logins are getting the same error if they try to connect from their local PC.
I guess I have explained clearly what exactly happened
If anyone can give me any solutioon for this, that would be great
Thanks !!!!

humm, very strange!!!! It is very diffucult to guess what could have gone wrong from this end.
I'd say it is porbably a good idea to write to IBM regarding this if you have followed all pre-installation requirements that they have metioned in their article.

Please post any error message logged in event viewer/sql server error logs.
Post the full error message that you get when you try to connect.
