Login Attempt through EM

Strange opportunity here: I have a sql server that I manage it is not in a
domain but uses my domain id for a local login account. ie domain\tbolin,
localserver\tbolin.
I have the SQL registered from my desktop using sa, but idea I know. The
issue is that my local id get locks out. I noticed in the security logs tha
t
my domain account is getting a login failure every 17 seconds, and causes
windows to lock my local account.
How can that be when they are not even connected?
Also why is EM trying to login to the server when it is registered as sa?
THomIt's probably the polling of the services from Enterprise
Manager. Try turning off the polling and see if that makes a
difference.
In Enterprise Manager, go to tools then select options.
Clear the checkbox for Server State Polling on the
General tab.
