Hi,
I am getting below error while listing the databases using EM. Server is running and it is on mix-mode. Please help, urgent.

A connection could not establish to \\server\abc
Reason: Login failed for user 'aaa' ---> administrator right given (workgroup)
Please verify sql server is running and check your SQL server registration properties and try again

Hmmm: you say that SQL Server is up and running under mixed authenticaton mode, so the most likely explanations are the "aaa" has not been declared as a login on the server or that it hasn't been declared as a user on any of the databases.

One other explanation could be that your connection protocols are not set up correctly: if the server is only listening on TCP/IP, for instance, and your Client Network Utility has only been set up for Named Pipes, then you might have a problem.

What version of SQL Server are you running?
