add new sql registration not success - login failed

  • Hi,

    I'm trying to access to remote sql server to view the database tables. I have sql server 2000. the server that I tried to access has sql 2008. I follow the instruction that I found from the web, as below.

    In the Enterprise Manager, right click on the SQL Server Group and select New SQL Server Registration. Then I added in the sql server name as serverABC\dbaseXYZ, select SQL Server Authentication on next screen, and enter user name and password on next screen. On last screen when I click finish. I got message as below.

    Server registration completed.

    Status:

    serverABC\dbaseXYZ - Login failed for user 'myuserid

    For sure the problem is not from fire wall because my co-worker can access it but he use Management studio which I don't have. He has the same authority level as mine.

    I google and found a post of the same problem. The problem got resolve by changing authentication to mix mode.

    I want to try this but problem is I cann't access the property of the server that I just created.

    When I do right click on the server name and select property, I got error msg as below.

    A connection could not be established to serverABC\dbaseXYZ.

    Reason:Logon failed for user 'myuserid'

    Please verify SQL server is running and check your sqs server registration property (by right click on the serABC\dbaseXYA node) and try again

    Thanks in advance
