  • It's stored in the Windows registry. Here's an article on dealing with the registry from within SQL:

  • I assume you are asking if the SQL Server instance is using Integrated Security or not, here is a simple query to accomplish that:

    select serverproperty('IsIntegratedSecurityOnly')

    1 = Integrated security

    0 = Not Integrated security

  • That's what I was looking for. Thank you much!

  • You're welcome and thanks for the feedback.
