cannot connect to 2005 (x64) server

  • Hi,

    This problem is driving me crazy:

    - I have a virtual, 64bit 2005EE SQL server SP2, CU9 (v9.00.3282.00) for test purposes.

    - Server is accepting remote connections and SQLbrowser is enabled

    - I have a domain account which is local admin (say: 'XXXXXXame', password='yyyyy')

    - SQL services are using this account to run (which works fine)

    If I login to this server (OS login) with this account and do a SQLCmd with a trusted connection, it works fine

    These options are not working:

    1) If I login to this server (OS login) and do a SQLCMd with the parameters -UXXXXXXame -P yyyyy afterI login to this server (OS login)

    2) an admin account on a different server which starts sqlcmd with the parameters -UXXXXXXame -P-yyyyy to connect to the problem server

    Which results in:

    Login failed for user 'XXXXXXame'

    Any ideas?

  • Wilfred, did you try -UComputername\xxxxx ?

  • Thanks for your reply.

    Unfortunately, this results in the same error (login failed)
