connecting to sql server instance

  • I have a sql 2005 sp3 instance on a windows server 2008 enterprise server. When I try to connect to the database engine from SSMS using my windows authentication (domain\user.name) it fails with error 18456 severity 14 state 11. What is strange is I can connect to the database engine from my personal PC using SSMS and same accout but not from SSMS on the windows 2008 server itself. In addition, I can connect to SSRS and SSAS from both locations using my windows account.

    Exec xp_logininfo 'domain\user.name'

    returns

    domain\user.nameuseradmindomain\user.nameBUILTIN\Administrators

    Clearly, my account is valid and a sysadmin of the instance.

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

  • This may help.. I am not 100 % sure

    On the Server, when opening the SSMS, right click and choose Run as Administrator

    Also check with your System Admin to include your account in Access Control List (ACL), when I had this kind of problem, my System Admin resolved this issue by granting some permissions in it.

  • Bru,

    Thanks for the response. Running the app as an administrator does work.

    Hi, Bru, what's the difference between "Open" And "Run as administrator"?

    It switches the SQL Server to run with the administrator account.
