Hi,
I have setup a SQL 2014 server with mixed authentication. Below is sequence.
1. Created a server. Added server to a domain & logged out.
2. RDP to the server using a local account. Installed SQL 2014. Kept the services to run using default NT Authority accounts during initial setup. SQL was installed in mixed mode (SQL & windows authentication). a specific 'sa' pwd was set.
3. After initial setup, I changed all SQL services Logon account to be respective domain accounts. Made sure all services restarted, up & running.
Now, for the same 'sa' SQL login account -
--> if I RDP to the server using local system admin & connect to SQL studio with 'sa' (SQL authentication) - it works.
but --> if I RDP to the server using my domain account (which is already an admin on SQL & windows), but connect SQL studio with the Same 'sa' (SQL authentication) - it fails & gives - unable to login 'sa'... ; standard error code : 18456.
Question :
How can be the same 'sa' login, is acting different based on with what user context I RDP to the server ?
please help.
