Author How to connect the remote SQL 2005 using different user name?

Hi,

I am using the SQL 2005 management studio and trying to connect a remote SQL
2005 standard edition server in the mix authentication mode. I need to pick
up a different windows user name which existing in remote Server but is not
the one I am using to login my local. By default, the connection pick up the
user name and password which is using for local login and gray out, it
doesn’t allow to make any changes, does anyone have the idea how to make the
change?

Thanks

Wendy

One thing to try is to create a windows account and password
that is exactly the same (password, user name) and add it to
whatever PC, server you are connecting from. Then try
logging in with that login or do a Run As to run SSMS and
run as the windows account that matches the remote server
account.

Hi Sue,

Thanks for your replay.

I manage all multiple SQL servers from one remote management studio, looks
like the only way works is using SQL authentication. That means the windows
authentication is very limited.
