Author Error 18456 - domain admins only users that can authenticate
dsb

Server 2003
SQL 2000 SP3a

I have my server set up and my ODBC client configured. When I log in as
myself, as a domain admin, I can set my authentication to Windows (in my
ODBC), when I log on as a Domain Users, I cannot.

I get and error 18456. My server properties show SQL Server and Windows
authentication is allowed and there is no semi-colon in my password. What
security setting am I missing to allow my domain users to authenticate via
Windows authentication?

TIA

Hi,

Did you gave domain OS user access to SQL Server?

If not; open Enterprise manager and use Security option to add the Domain
user/group to SQL Server.

Thanks
