From: jh on 26 Nov 2009 15:51 Just to be sure: Is it possible to login from a _remote_ machine to SQL Server using Trusted Connection _without_ a Active Directory account? The story... I have a workgroup build with 3 PCs only. The first PC has installed SQL Server 2008 Express. I need to connect from other PCs with Trusted Connection. The message I get when connecting is: The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication. Any chance to login (windows authentication) without a domain controller?

Yes, it is possible to do Windows authentication in a workgroup, but it can be a battle. To start with, you must have the same login and password on both machines. There is also a Group Policy setting that needs to be set to Classic. But I have never seen the error message you quote. The group-policy setting eluded me for a long time, but I only got the message "is not associated with a trusted connection". Then again, that was not SQL 2008; maybe they have updated the error message. -- Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, esquel(a)sommarskog.se Links for SQL Server Books Online: SQL 2008: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/cc514207.aspx SQL 2005: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/bb895970.aspx SQL 2000: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/previousversions/books.mspx
