I'm trying to connect to a remote SQL Server Express machine using Windows authentication. I´m logged on with a user with username Administrator, but when logging in, I get the error message:
Login开发者_开发知识库 failed for user guest ...
Why is not using the Administrator account?
Thanks in advance.
For Windows Authentication to work, the target machine has to be on a domain where your Windows credentials will be recognized. If the server is outside of your organization's control, it will not recognize your credentials and you will have to use a Sql Server user ID and password to log in.
SQL Server Express by default only allows local connections - you can enable it, but you have to explicitly do so.
See these:
