You are connecting using Windows credentials. That means you have to be logged in with Windows credentials that are valid on your SQL Server. If you simply logged in under the local administrator account, you will not be able to connect to the remote instance, because the SID of the local administrator account is not valid on any other machine.|||
thanx for reply
but i still doesnt got ur point if u can explain ur answer a bit
|||Local Administrator means that you are an administrator on the single machine that you are logging into. If you are physically logging into the machine with the built in account of Administrator, that means your Windows account is for that machine, only that machine, and no other machine in your entire network will understand what that account is nor will it allow you to access any other resource outside of the machine that you are logged into. If you are going to connect to a SQL Server on a different machine, using Windows credentials, then you MUST be logging into a machine using a domain account that has been granted access to the SQL Server.|||Also for informaton refer to KBA http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q328306 in this case.
