SQL cannot read the domain name

Hi, all

I need a help here please.

Im using SQL Server 2000 on a server, and theres clients that need to connect to the sql server, and the clients are the users that have domain ids.

Firstly i run the sqlserver under local system user (default).And the clients which is login into a domain and can automatically login with windows authentification. But before i have already added the domain name for the client in the security login of sql server.

Then, i change the sqlserver services to be run under a local user with no admin right. After that, i cannot use windows authentification, i have to use sa. The reference i used for applying this is written in this url : http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=kb;en-us;Q283811

The problem is i need to use both the sqlservices to be run under local with no admin right user and i need to use windows authentification.

Please help.

Thank you very much

    First, make sure that you change the account through the SQL Server Configuration Manager, not the generic Windows service manager.

    If you have already done so or if that does not solve your problem, consider running the SQL Server under a non-admin domain account instead of a non-admin local account.

    Hi Peter

    Firstly thx a lot for your reply.

    I dont really understand how can i change the account through the sql server configuration manager.

    Please correct me if im wrong, do you mean that i should also configurate the user permission in sql server permission after i made the account and all its permission on the account local computer If yes, i already tried it, and the clients still cannot connect and it produce the same error message.

    And i already tried to run the sql server services under non admin domain account, but the clients still cant connect to the sql server.

    Please help

    Thank you very much

    Regards

    I found the solution for this problem.

    The user that used to run the sql services must be given permission to "impersonate a client after authentication" in Security Policy.

    But there is another problem : http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=333949&SiteID=1&mode=1
