Login failed for user ''. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.

Hi,

I have 2 windows 2003 server, i instllaed sql server 2005 enterprise edition on the first one (Mixed Mode), and i am trying to install sql server reporting 2000 on the second one,

I installed the sql 2000 connectivity only on the second one , and i installed the sql server sp4 also, while installing reporting services i used the sql login account (sa,pwd)

i got the following error :

Cannot connect to sql server instance ...

Login failed for user ''. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.

NB1: Allow Remote connection is enabled on sql server 2005.

NB2: I tried to connect from server 2 to server 1 from odbc and it worked properly with (sa,pwd) i have only a problem from reporting server.

Please any help?

Are the machines in the same domain? What is the network configuration? What does "sql 2000 connectivity" mean?

Have you checked the errorlog? Is there any additional information on the failure there?

Try running a Profiler trace on the SQL Server machine to see if you can find any additional information on the login attempt.

Thanks
Laurentiu

Hi Laurentiu,

Thx for your reply,

I have 2 servers on the same domain and under vmware virtual

server (the new release beta 2) ,about sql 2000 connectivity you can install sql server 2000 as (database server or client or connectivity).

I don't have any log error.

Thanks,

Login failures are normally logged. Are you sure you checked the log on the right server - the one you were trying to connect to? Also, have you got any insights from running a Profiler trace?

Thanks

Hi Laurentiu,

I created a user on the domain , and i logged on windows by this user on the second server, i added this user to have access login on the first server and it worked fine.
