Changing Security mode on a msde instance

  • Other than installing client tools on the server running a msde instance of SQL2000 does anyone know how I could change the security mode to mixed through a command?

  • Not sure about MSDE, but other versions of SQL Server 2000 control that value with a registry key. See if you have this key on the server:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer

    There should be a DWORD value called LoginMode.  Set it to 2 for mixed mode, 1 for Windows Authentication only.

     

  • Thanks a bunch!
