Another "cannot generate SSPI context" error

  • Freaking odd one here guys. :unsure:

    2 SQL 2008 R2 servers on the same domain, but in different data centers. Live and DR.

    Both servers running as the same domain\user same rights on both servers.

    If I connect from live to DR with the IP I connect with both SQL user and AD user. ➡

    If I connect from live to DR with the machine domain name, I can connect at SQL user. ➡

    However if I connect from live to DR with the machine domain name with the same domain\user used for the IP connect gives I get the "cannot generate SSPI context" error. :ermm:

    Additionally, I was working earlier with the Live sql service running under another domain\user. I changed it to get the live service off a domain admin account.

    Any help here would be good.

    Thanks.

    Ryan.

  • Solution found.

    The DR side instance is running under the same Domain\user as the live is now.

    However unknown to me the domain admin after I requested the password for this user, went and changed it and gave me the new password, but didn't tell me that he actually changed it.

    Solution was: Reset the password for the service account on the DR server and restart SQL.
