SQL Login -> Remote Windows Account

  • All,

    I'm trying to get a SQL Login on Server A to connect to a linked server (Server B). I need the SQL Login to connect as a given Windows login on Server B.

    Server B is set up correctly on Server A as a lined server I think - I created the same SQL Login

    on Server B to test and I can connect fine when I use the SQL Login as the "Local Login" and click "Impersonate"

    The message I get when trying to connect as the remote Windows login is

    Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\User'

    I've definitely got the domain and password right.

    Server A runs SQL 2000, mixed authentication

    Server B runs SQL 2005, mixed authentication.

    Is what I'm trying to do possible (ie SQL Login -> Remote Windows Login) ? Any ideas on getting around the error ?

  • i have faced the same problem, using sql login on both server did it.

  • Thanks for that Mobasha.

    That won't work for me though because I want to run a job on Server B that requires access to a network drive.

  • so u want serverA to use like a folder in serverB.

    if so u can create table in serverB, use the linkserver to but a command from serverA to serverB,

    create a trigger on serverB table and executing the command.

    i know its not an easy thing but it might solve ur case.

  • Thanks for the suggestion Mobasha

    I think I have a solution now.

    I created a sproc on Server B to run the job using EXECUTE AS TheWindowsLogin

    I then just link the SQL Logins between the servers (using Impersonate) and grant execute on the new sproc to the SQL Login.

    Thanks for your help.

    🙂
