Some errors never got old. I have seen many new DBA or Developers struggling with this errors.
Error: 18452 Login failed for user ‘(null)’. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
Fix/Solution/Workaround:
Change the Authentication Mode of the SQL server from “Windows Authentication Mode (Windows Authentication)”
to “Mixed Mode (Windows Authentication and SQL Server Authentication)”.
Run following script in SQL Analyzer to change the authentication
LOGIN sa ENABLE
GO
ALTER LOGIN sa WITH PASSWORD = '<password>'
GO
OR
In Object Explorer, expand Security, expand Logins, right-click sa, and then click Properties. On the General page, you may have to create and confirm a password for the sa login. On the Status page, in the Login section, click Enabled, and then click OK.

I am getting this error on 2008 R2 when I am calling a SSRS report from another report. The report with the error has the same shared datasource as all the other reports and the dataset in the report is calling a stored procedure. This stored procedure is basically executing 14 different stored procedures in a sequential manner. Please note that all the stored procedures reside in the same database (no linked server or external server reference in the code). The SSRS reports are hosted on a different server from the database server. All reports run great except for this one report where I get the error
“An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Query execution failed for dataset ‘NewRefreshMacroDataset’. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
Login failed for user ‘(null)’. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.”
Any help is greatly appreciated. I have tried all possible solutions listed in this blog but to no avail. Thanks in advance!!!

Hello I am so delighted I found your blog page, I really found you by error, while I was researching on Yahoo for something else, Anyways I am here now and would just like to say cheers for a tremendous post and a all round interesting blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to look over it all at the minute but I have bookmarked it and also added in your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read more, Please do keep up the awesome jo.
While it’s usually a better picture than 720p, the “i” in 1080i suggests that it is an “interlaced” resolution which is not as smooth or clear as a 1080p “progressive-scan” picture. My personal opinion on this TV is that for the price, you can not beat $500 for a 32″ Hi-Definition TV. Sony will not give a clear alternative for accessing the 120Hz processing. You can either bring it to the manufacturer’s service center (which may entail some costs, if it’s no longer covered by warranty), or you could troubleshoot it yourself.

Welcome hozaifa
Recently moved SQL server from desktop to virtual machine and now facing below error message while connecting the SQL server using SQL authentication.
-2147205987:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot execute as the database principal because the principal “guest” does not exist, this type of principal cannot be impersonated, or you do not have permission.
The user ID ‘SQLADMIN’ is used to connect SQL server.
May I know the permissions that ‘SQLADMIN’ should have to do BULK_COPY operation along with normal functions.
Currently SQLADMIN is Set with ‘PUBLIC’ and ‘BULKADMIN’ permissions. For Database1 and Database2 [used in the project], SQLADMIN is given ‘PUBLIC’ and ‘db_OWNER’ permissions.
After these changes, I am still facing the same issue.
Hi,
I am getting below error while login to SQL server 2014 Management studio:
“[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Login failed for user name”
Could anybody please help me out?
Thanks!

It’s doesn’t help at all. Any other advice that you can give for this please?
I’ve tried everything to fix my login issue.
Login failed for user ‘sqlserver’. ClientConnectionId:c20a5c21-e4f1-400c-a2a8-153b0489e8b1
connect string is as follows:
String connectionUrl = “jdbc:sqlserver://STEVE-PC\\SQLEXPRESS:1433;” +
“Database=telematics;” +
“User=sqlserver;” +
“Password=SQLServer#1”;
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Check SQL Errorlog and check for reason for login failed.
Errorlog can be found by following https://blog.sqlauthority.com/2015/03/24/sql-server-where-is-errorlog-various-ways-to-find-its-location/
Pinal Dave,
I used your technique to find the log file. However the connect errors are not there. I can use the “sa” logon id and get logged in but get “Invalid object name ‘telematics.ecm.ecm_actv_diag’. So I do not have my database defined to the sa account. OK I understand that. How can I use another account that has access to the database but can’t get logged in? I’ve tried to copy all of the parameters from the “sa” account to another but still receive “Login failed for user ‘sqltest’. ClientConnectionId:6216e682-5c52-4503-b0c8-91c1542e9d98”
