How to create sql server login for workgroup computer?

How can I add a new sql server login using windows authentication where the login id is from a user belonging in a workgroup?

No domain connection. Just a workgroup account will have a login in the sql server using windows authentication. Thanks
Thats not possible, WIndows authentication can be used if the server can prove your identity. I a (non-trusted) workgroup, this is not possible, because everyone can join the workgoup and could spoof another ones identity.

You can only use the local accounts of the SQL Server to do so. In those enviroments you can impersonate the user with a remote account on the SQL Server machine programmatically (like in C# to run under a remote account of the SQL Server box).

There is another way of choosing the same name and the same password on the SQL Server as well as on the client bix, but I don′t think and stated that several times, that this is not a proficient solution.

How to create or save files in a different domain

Hey,

I have an SSIS package that creates a new file and saves results into that file. However, the requirement has it that I need to create this file on a server residing in a different domain. How can I achieve this in an SSIS package when it is scheduled as a job?

Thanks,

Aravind

When using SQLAgent, you should be aware of permission-related issues like the use of proxy accounts that may come into play. SSIS doesn't have special handling for different domains. For example, if you are using the flat file destination adapter to write data, it will just attempt to write to the file without recognizing where the file is residing. If you are having trouble writing directly to a file in a different domain, it might be easier if you create and write to a file locally using IS (feasibility depending on the size of file) and then copy it over using another mechanism that's proven to work across domains.|||

The obvious method would be to setup a trust between the domains, and just grant permission in the normal way. If that is not an option for you, then the only other method I have used is to manipulate files accross domains is NET USE the old DOS command. You can connect to a share and supply a username and password.

how to create dynamic data sources in one report

Hi all
I would like to make one report that could connect to all servers on my
network (not all on the same domain, Mixed mode authintacation).
An example of use would be to click a link for each server to view the
result set for sp_who, sp_databases, version information or anything similar.
Does anyone know a source/article that would get me going in the right
direction? What I have found so far... well I am still looking.
much thanksFrom Books Online (RS 2005). This does not work in RS 2000

Data source expressions are processed at run time or when a report is
previewed. The expression must be written in Visual Basic. Use the following
guidelines when defining a data source expression:
a.. Design the report using a static connection string. A static
connection string refers to a connection string that is not set through an
expression (for example, when you follow the steps for creating a
report-specific or shared data source, you are defining a static connection
string). Using a static connection string allows you to connect to the data
source in Report Designer so that you can get the query results you need to
create the report.
b.. When defining the data source connection, do not use a shared data
source. You cannot use a data source expression in a shared data source. You
must define a report-specific data source for the report.
c.. Specify credentials separately from the connection string. You can use
stored credentials, prompted credentials, or integrated security.
d.. Add a report parameter to specify a data source. For parameter values,
you can either provide a static list of available values (in this case, the
available values should be data sources you can use with the report) or
define a query that retrieves a list of data sources at run time.
e.. Be sure that the list of data sources shares the same database schema.
All report design begins with schema information. If there is a mismatch
between the schema used to define the report and the actual schema used by
the report at run time, the report might not run.
f.. Before publishing the report, replace the static connection string
with an expression. Wait until you are finished designing the report before
you replace the static connection string with an expression. Once you use an
expression, you cannot execute the query in Report Designer. Furthermore,
the field list in the Datasets window and the Parameters list will not
update automatically.
