    I had the same problem. My two servers were in different domains. I had to add hosts entries on each server. For example, I have server1.domain1.local and server2.domain2.local. On Server1, I added IP, server2 to hosts file. On Server2, I added IP, server1 to hosts file. This resolved my issue.

    I know this is an old post but that sounds a whole lot better than "No Authentication Required". Thanks for taking the time to post it.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
