Linked Server Security

  • Hi,

    I am trying to establish a linked server connection to a new SQL server (x64) from our preexisting SQL Servers (x86); however am getting the following message:

    ------------------------------------------------

    Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\MYUSERNAME'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18452)

    ------------------------------------------------

    The server is setup to allow remote connections on both TCP and Named Pipes

    The server is setup to be ONLY Windows accounts; ie no SQL users

    The user has been given permissions to read the databases; in fact I tried it as a sysadmin too, but no difference.

    The Linked server has been setup as a SQL Native connection, using a specific windows/AD account; so therefore wouldn't expect it to be subject to the usual suspects of 1 hop/2 hop issues (as no delegation etc)

    I am stumped; can anyone offer any pointers please?

    Thanks in advance

    Troy

  • Okay, so it looks like I have been sadly fooling myself in thinking that this LinkedServer might work with a windows account....it looks as though these only work with SQL logins when choosing the "be made with this security context" option...

    *sigh*
