Authentication Prob using XP

  • Hi our sql server 2000 recently had sp3 installed then it rebooted over the night then none of

    our Win2000/xp boxes using query analyser could connect to the server unless we used the sa account

    then we changed all the pro boxes to connect thru named

    pipes and disabled and re-enabled the windows group on the sql

    server and that worked.... but any xp box with query anayliser

    still can not connect gets the same error win 200 pro

    boxes use to get 'login fails for user null not

    associated with a trusted sql server connection'

    I believe the reason we have to use named pipes now is because of the NTLMssp authentication

    which relies on tcp

    but I dont know what I have to change on the Xp boxes to get them connected any ideas please

    as I am stumped

  • I know there were some MDAC issues with the 2.7 version that came with XP. SQL Server 2000 SP3 put 2.7 SP1 on the SQL Servers. Have you tried upgrading one of the XP boxes to MDAC 2.7 SP1 and seeing if this resolves the issue?
