Windows authentication trusted connection not working

Question

MSSQL Server is in the \"abc\" domain and have mixed mode authentication. I am connecting from the machine which is not in domain or in a domain \"xyz\" but with in the same

Answer 1

I have been involved with making a SQL server connection cross to domains like that, and it is exceptionally painful. In order to use credentials from another domain, the domain where you are assigning the permissions has to trust the domain, where the account is coming from. IT Pro's are generally VERY reluctant to trust another domain in this manner, and for good reason, so if this trust relationship has not been established it might not be very likely to convince the admins to do this.

Once you have the trust relationship established, you will probably need to register the SPN's for your SQL server in Active Directory, and assign delegation permissions. This type of environment is very difficult to setup, troubleshoot and maintain.

I hope that there is some other way that you can do this, because it sounds like you are headed for a very difficult scenario.
