Message: [QUOTE="Ian_m, post: 3986417"] We have successfully installed and are using SQL Express 2005 on a domain account on a server and domain users are using BCM fine on their machines. The database admin tool offers domain accounts to be added to sharing list, all works fine for domain logged on users. However we have two machines who are domain connected computers (and have domain computer accounts) but due to legacy reasons the users are logging on as local machine accounts rather than domain accounts. Outlook 2007 with Exchange 2007 works fine for these users. However the BCM 2007 Database admin tool offers no way to add workgroup/local machine accounts to list of database users. I have tried adding SQL authenticated accounts to the SQL database (using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express), but it appears the users account information is being refused by the server before even being passed to SQL server (ie nothing in the SQL logs). From BCM2007 I get "Cannot find the remote user account name xxxx xxxx". Any thoughts ? I don't want to really convert the machine accounts to domain accounts (with all the time and hassle and downtime that incurrs) as currently everything works fine for the users except unable to connect to SQL server.
