FROM WINDOWS indicates that Windows will authenticate the user. The optional DEFAULT_DATABASE argument connects Mary to the TestData database, unless her connection string indicates another database. This statement introduces the semicolon as an optional termination for a Transact-SQL statement.CREATE LOGIN [computer_name\Mary] FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = [TestData];GOMsg 15401, Level 16, State 1, Line 2Windows NT user or group 'computer_name\mbabe' not found.

Windows will look for the user in the local machine, if you specify the local machine name ( is it really called 'computer_name'?) or in Active Directory for non-local names |
