MSDE on Network

  • Good day

    I have a question about MSDE installed on a WinXP pc. I installed the MSDE with the option SAPWD=''.

    After setting the TCP/IP protocol, I am able to connect to the computer. (I use a cross cable between the pc and my laptop)

    When I start the enterprice manager on my laptop and try to make the connection everything works fine until I try to logon to the database.

    I tried useing SA / my own logon account / windows authentication but nothing works.

    Every time i get the message that the user is not accepted.

    I dont have the tools installed on the WinXP PC.

    Does anyone have a idea what to do?

  • I suggest just installing the client tools on the WinXP PC so you can validate things are setup right.

  • MSDE installs with Windows Authentication enabled. You probably need to be an administrator on both machines.

     

  • ahh thanx I think this solved the problem... have to check it though...

    thanx for the responce...

  • To Log In to the new instance of MSDE using the sa account, ensure that the value of the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer\LoginMode

    is 2

    Hope this helps!
