Hi there

I got this login which is undocumented in our system. Is there anyway to know whether someone being used this account or not for the last 30 days or something? I got an AUDITING turn on but just for FAILED only though.

I am appreciated your comment.

Thanks

if you don't want to turn on the audit for success, here's an idea

create a job that runs at n-interval, that records the entries in the sysprocesses (you can filter for loginame, machinename, database, etc)... you can set not to log existing entries to meet your goal
