Author newbie SQL

Here is my senario, I have two different logins, and why I don't know. One
login is for my workstation, and one is for "NIT". NIT is the SQL Server.
Anyhow, I need to connect to my SQL Server from my workstation so that I can
work with my databases. I have installed "Client Tools" so that I have
Enterprise Manager available, but when I go into this area, it shows I have
no databases or as they call it "no items". Now if I was to login to the
domain "NIT" through my workstation, I could then connect, and do see all my
databases.

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to connect to "Enterprise
Manager" just using my workstation without connecting to the "NIT" domain?
thanks

hi molly
probably u are able to access the database from Query Analyser and when u
try to access it from EM u are unable to see the database server.

for this u need to register ur database server under SQL Server group.

just right click and select new server registration. the whizard will guide
u the rest

please let me know if u have any questions

It appears that your Windows login has been granted access to more databases
than your SQL Server login. Talk to your SQL Server admin and have him/her
grant access to those DB's for your SQL Server login.

That said, using Windows authentication is more secure. Why not just use
that login?
