| The probe login, which required no password, was used by DB-Library and Windows NT Performance Monitor. The DB-Library two-phase commit library used the probe login to check on the status of distributed transactions. It was also used by Windows NT Performance Monitor to get statistics from SQL Server. | The probe login has been eliminated. Windows NT Performance Monitor will always use Windows NT Authentication, known earlier as integrated security, to connect to SQL Server. Ensure that your Windows NT username and password have the appropriate privileges to use Windows NT Performance Monitor. |
