Script SQL Server login with Windows authentication without machine name
- by Evgeny
I want to write a SQL 2005 script to create a new login that uses Windows authentication. The Windows user is a local account (not a domain one). A local account with the same name exists on many SQL Server machines and I want to run the same script on all of them.
It seemed simple enough:
CREATE LOGIN [MyUser]
FROM WINDOWS
However, that doesn't work! SQL returns an error, saying Give the complete name: <domain\username>.
Of course, I can do that for one machine and it works, but the same script will not work on other machines.
