A Windows account rename has triggered SQL connection issues

Description

Following a Windows account rename, FIM Event Broker operations dependent on SQL Server Windows authentication fail with a message similar to the following:

Agent test is failing with the message: "Cannot open database "FIMSyncronizationService" requested by login. The login failed.

Affected software

• FIM Event Broker.

Symptom

Following a Windows account rename, all SQL Server operations dependent on the account could potentially fail with a "login failed" message.

Solution

SQL Server logins can become out of sync with the Windows account name following a rename. The login must be updated to match the Windows account name.
