How to Disable Windows Authentication?

  • How to Disable Windows Authentication in sql server 2008?

  • It can't be disabled. You could remove all windows logins, that would do just about the same. Just make sure you have another sysadmin login.

  • First you have to drop the built-in/administrators using

    drop login [bultin/administrators] and then here after u shouldn't create an any logins related to windows account..so this is the one way for restrict the users for entering in to the server through windows account.

    There is no option for disable the windows authentication mode,as of now we have only either only sql server authentication mode or mixed mode(windows and sql server).

  • Why would you want to remove windows authentication? Our goal is to never use SQL authentication, and we only do so when required by a vendor application.

  • When you are dealing with managing a shared DB server for websites it is a lot easier to manage SQL credentials then an AD structure
