I'm trying to convert an
Access database to use a SQLServer backend. I've upsized the database
and everything works on the server, but I'm unable to
access it remotely.
I'm running SQLServer Express 2005 on Windows Server 2003. The server is not configured as a domain controller, nor connected to a domain. The computers I'm trying to
access the server from are part of a domain, but there are no local domain controllers. I'm at a
remote location
and the computers are configured
and connected to the domain at the home office, then shipped to us. We normally log in with cached credentials
and VPN into the home office when we need to
access the domain.
I can use
Remote Desktop Connection to
access the 2k3 server which is running SQLServer. If I log into the server with my username, I can bring up the database,
access it via the Trusted Connection,
and the database works. If I try to run the database locally, however, I get the Server Login dialog box. I can not use a Trusted Connection because my local login is to the home office domain
and is not recognized by the SQLServer machine. If I try to use the username/password that is local to the SQLServer, I get a login failed error. I've tried entering the username as "username", "workgroup/username" (where "workgroup" is the name of the workgroup on the SQLServer), "sqlservername/username"
and "
[email protected]" where "1.2.3.4" is the IP of the SQLServer. In all cases, I get a login failed error. As I said, I can login to the server via
Remote Desktop Connection with the same username
and password
and use the database, so permissions for the username appear to be correct for both a
remote connection
and for database
access. Not sure where to go from here
and any assistance would be appreciated.
