MSDE Install

  • I have just installed MSDE 2000 on a laptop running XP Home. At first I received an error that SA must have a strong password. I then tried again with Blanksapwd=1. Now I'm unable to register this server using SQL Auth.

    Any thoughts

  • By default, MSDE 2000 will use NT authentication only after successfully installed. If you like to change it to use SQL Server authentication, you can modify the registry key.

  • Thanks, but where and how do I change it? Is there docs available?

  • Change the value to 2 in following key.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MSSQLSERVER\MSSQLSERVER\LOGINMODE

  • Thanks,

    Works perfectly

    Thanks again
