Client Config

  • I have added a non trusted domain SQL Server 2000 box to my client machine, but am still not able to connect. I have verified the port and the uid / pwd works when I remote in to the machine and login.

    I have checked the n/w settings from a different machine from which I am able to connect. I get the SQL Server does not exist or access denied error

    Anyone have any ideas what else I need to look for?

    TIA

  • It is assumed sql server authentication  is what is failing since the domain is not trusted ...

     

  • Yes sql server authentication is failing...

  • However, when I register the server with the IP, port (same as in client config), it works

  • If you can register the server using the IP address but not the name, it sounds as though you might have a DNS issue.  Check with your network guys.

  • But isn't that the whole point of creating a client alias, that I provide the IP and port and I can use the name. While using EM or QA it works when I use 127.0.0.1, 1234 but without the port (i.e. just 127.0.0.1) it doesn't.

  • I know, you would think that, but I'm still having to edit hosts files even on trusted domains in my organisation.  Just thought it might be worth a try.
