We have an application that accesses a SQL 2000 server that is running on
several Citrix servers. Recently users started getting a message from the
application that there was a catastrophic failure when connecting to SQL
server. This was only happening if the user was not an administrator on the
Citrix server.

I tried connecting to SQL server from Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer.
If I was logged on as an admin it worked, but if not, it did not work. In
Query Analyzer if I tried to log on to SQL server using a bad password, I got
back a message about bad user or password. When I put in the correct
password (or if using integrated security) the screen briefly acts like it is
connecting but then the entire isqlw program shuts down. Enterprise manager
shuts down when I try to connect to a server. As a non-admin user I am able
to connect using ISQL.exe.

We've checked on rights to the SQL files and everything looks OK. Is there
anything else to check?

Thanks

Hello there,

I would like to suggest you applied the SQL 2000 SP4 first.

And please let me know the error log in the SQL Server.

This issue may related with some permission of folder. If you use the SQL
Authentication to connect the SQL server, did this issue occur?
