Sql server 2012 Logon trigger not working for certain logins

Question

Hello. I created a login trigger to insert data for each login in a table, and it works for all logins except one that is format domain\login
and the login ends with the dollar sign(actual name is domain\CTXDEVDCSI1$).
I had been using varchar, but after reading other forum posts, I changed the varchar's to nvarchar's, but it still fails for that id.
The errors written to the sql server error log were the usual "login failed due to trigger execution".
I had granted insert on the rvvlogindata table in dsa to public, and only one id wasn't able to login after that.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Here's the modified table ddl:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[rvvlogindata](
[sessionId] [int] NULL,
[LoginTime] [datetime] NULL,
[HostName] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[ProgramName] [nvarchar](300) NULL,
[LoginName] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[ClientHost] [nvarchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
Here's the logon trigger code:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
create trigger [LOGIN_IP_RESTRICTION] on all server for logon
as
Begin
Declare @LogonTriggerData xml,
@EventTime datetime,
@LoginName nvarchar(50),
@ClientHost nvarchar(50),
@HostName nvarchar(50),
@AppName nvarchar(300)
Set @LogonTriggerData = eventdata()
set @EventTime = @LogonTriggerData.value('(/EVENT_INSTANCE/PostTime)[1]', 'datetime')
set @LoginName = @LogonTriggerData.value('(/EVENT_INSTANCE/LoginName)[1]', 'varchar(50)')
set @ClientHost = @LogonTriggerData.value('(/EVENT_INSTANCE/ClientHost)[1]', 'varchar(50)')
set @HostName = HOST_NAME()
set @AppName = APP_NAME()
insert into dsa.dbo.rvvlogindata
sessionId,
LoginTime,
HostName,
ProgramName,
LoginName,
ClientHost
select @@spid,
@EventTime,
convert(nvarchar(50),@HostName),
convert(nvarchar(300),@AppName),
convert(nvarchar(50),@LoginName),
convert(nvarchar(50),@ClientHost)
END
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS OFF
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
ENABLE TRIGGER [LOGIN_IP_RESTRICTION] ON ALL SERVER
GO

Answer 1

Erland, I wanted to add more info to my reply earlier today.
sp_who2 showed no blocking, activity monitor from my local PC SSMS showed no major waits or high i/o or cpu activity.
I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to find out what was the cause of the 5+ minute wait for SSMS on the remote desktop to respond and fully come up.
I definitely can't put this in production with this hanging delay possibly occurring there.
I was connecting as read_user when it hung.
sp_who2 output at the time was:
