Hi, i am kind of new to sql server. We got a windows server 2003 and there is sql server 2005 installed.. I can access it via windows authentication inside the remote desktop connection. How can i access it from my own sql server 2005? in remote connection? Everything is set on the sql server 2005 to be able to remote connection but what is the servername to use? and the login and password? Thanks

are the server and your machine in same domain? Is your domain login added inside the sql server?

The server name to use is name that you can ping to. If the remote server is referenced as SERVR1.mydomain.net , then the SQL Server will be accessed as SERVR1.mdomain.net\MYINSTANCE
Windows Authentication will depend on whether you logged on as BUILTIN\Administrator or as an AD based logon. On your SQL Server , what logon details have you added?
