SQL Server 2005 not collecting logins in the log file - sql

I am currently running SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on a Windows 2003 server machine.
I have gone to the properties of the server and confirmed that the Login Auditing is set to both failed and successful logins. For some reason though there is nothing in the logins for fails or successes in the SQL Server logs when I know there have been logins for both.
I have searched out the reason for this and have not been able to come up with anything helpful, so I am hoping that someone here could give me a little direction. This is working on my other SQL Servers, so I know where to look for the results, but there are none there.

After speaking with Microsoft about the issue and doing much research, it was determined that this was an issue with the particular version of SQL (SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 9.00.3042) running on that particular version of the windows release. We reinstalled SQL, and then did all the updates and patches to both windows and SQL and this seems to have resolved the issue. The SQL logs are now tracking both success and failed logins.

SQL Server 2014 services are not visible

I've installed the SQL Server MgmtStudio 64BIT\SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe . I tried to login in the SSMS but it throws an error specifying "Network Path Not Found.". After googling I found to start the services.
But, in my services I couldn't even find the list of SQL services as show in the below image.
I even checked the sql server configuration and everything is enabled.
This is my first time installation in Windows 10 64 bit.
Please provide if this might be a duplicate.
I think you installed only the management studio client. Please install the Server version of SQL Server

ASP development after SQL Server goes down?

Scenario: ISS 8.5 is on our work machines, our Microsoft SQL Server is currently down for an indeterminate amount of time, and we don't have a back-up. We can continue to develop code on localhost. Because SQL Server is down, we can't execute any data transactions. Are there any reliable resources online to, at least, test if the developed SQL syntax is correct?
Edit: I will go ahead and eat my words. I had presumed that we were not allowed to install SQL Server Express locally. That was a bad guess. After I had sent our boss the suggestion from marc_s, he gave us the go-ahead. Now we have a back-up plan. For the record, the SQL Server is now online.
You must have access to another SQL server in order to test code against a SQL server. Your only options are to install SQL server on local machines, install SQL server on a local networked computer, or use a SQL server installed at a third party host.

SQL Server 2012 , lost access to database

I have experienced a weird issue a few hours ago and i cannot seem to figure out what has caused this problem.
I have SQL server 2012 installed on a windows server 2012 virtual machine.
I have windows services, Windows applications and web sites accessing a database on this server.
all applications lost access to the database for +/- 10 minutes and it suddenly just came back up again.
during that ten minutes i managed to log onto the SQL server remotely and open management studio and access all the databases but the applications still could not connect.
The database did not go into single user mode, the CPU and memory was normal, i could ping the server from my desktop.
I looked at the event log and SQL logs but couldn't find anything related to why the database could not be accessed.
I am baffled I've been trying to figure this out for the last 2 hours and i not getting anywhere.
I would appreciate any assistance
Thanks
run the dbcc checkdb command. This will check the database and tables for any corruption/errors.

SQL Server 2008 R2 database detaches when windows server restarts

I have a weird problem, I have a database and it was working just fine until now, every time I restart my server, the database seem to disappear. After extensive research I found out that the database just detaches, so I have to attach it again after the server restarts. I can't find a solution to this, has anyone come across it?
I did many virus scans, but nothing, so It can't be a virus.
I have also tried repairing the sql and that didn't work.
I have tried to take this database and added to my test environment, and it seem to work fine.
It is not the database itself, I'm guessing something in SQL Server that is corrupt or a virus? I have SQL Server 2008 R2 on a Windows Server 2008

Is ProClarity supported on SQL Server 2012?

I'm currently in the process of coming up with our upgrade plan for our migration from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2012, and some of our business units still use ProClarity.
I'm aware that this is essentially a "dead" application; where Microsoft isn't upgrading it anymore, and it's scheduled to be EOL'ed in the future.
After googling and digging around on Microsoft's forums, I still can't come up with a definitive answer as to whether the 2012 upgrade will be incompatible with Proclarity. (Business users are on 6.2; which is one minor revision behind)
Has anybody tried this out and been successful? Would we need to keep this portion of the BI tools on SQL Server 2008?
Upgrade was successful, and the users were able to connect to 2012 Analysis Services using ProClarity
