We're seeing the following error in the Event Viewer logs: "SQL database login for 'SharePoint_Config' on instance 'dbserver' failed. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below. Login failed for user 'domain\machinename$'." Despite trying to resolve it by adjusting the Timer Service, Application Pool, and all SharePoint services, we still face this issue. The error stops when we turn off the Microsoft Monitoring Service . We've been working on this problem for over a week, and no solution has worked yet. Our Setup: SharePoint Servers: Application with search. Front-end with distributed cache. SQL is separate. Has anyone faced this issue before, and what steps did you take to resolve it?

Thank you for your comment!

This above link that you provided seems exactly the same as our case. Can you please provide more details or anything official from Microsoft? As both SharePoint and MMA agents are part of Microsoft.

That would really help convince people that this is not happening due to some major issues in SharePoint farm and DBAs would give us go ahead.

Best Regards!
