Management Studio of Sql Server Dev Edition 2005 installed on Win 7 is not able to connect on Windows 2003 Server where standard edition of sql server 2005 is installed.
The connection is working when I use the Sa password but when I use windows authentication then it is showing err msg that "user is not associated with a trusted sql server connection"..
I'm using a local admin password on win 7 and in passwords server password is saved (i.e. the domain password), I'm even able to get exchange mails so domain pass is working fine from other places but sql server is not able to connect..
Pls help
Passwords are not used while using windows authentication :) Your client computer credentials need to be trusted by SQL server - this is easiest to achieve for domain (Active Directory) accounts.
You need 1) login into your dev computer as domain user 2) add same domain user (or containig group) to sql server permitted logins for your database.
Thanks for reply on this..
I got the final answer and below is the link for the same..

I am testing a SQL Server for my company as an on-site database for manufacturing data and records. I have the SQL Server on my laptop and have set up permissions and downloaded SQL Server Management Studio on other computers in the company and managed to connect via SQL Server authentication.
However, I can't get Windows Authentication to work. I also have a Visual Basic program that I can run on my laptop that will communicate with the SQL Server that is locally on my machine but that program will not work on other computers in the company because they can not connect to the SQL Server.
How do I set up SQL Server to allow for Windows authentication on any company computers running that program? I opened a port on my Windows firewall on the computer that has SQL Server installed, and it seems to work with SQL Server authentication.
The connection string I am using in my Visual Basic program is as follows:
Dim connstring As String = "Data Source = Server; integrated security = true"
I assume I need to change something in my logins folder in my SQL Server?
My desired result would be for any computer running this application to be allowed to communicate with SQL Server and be able to read and write data.
any computer running this application to be allowed to communicate with SQL Server
The normal configuration to enable this is:
1) The SQL Server must be running on a server joined to the domain.
2) The SQL Server is configured to use TCP/IP and listen on port 1433.
3) The other computers are also joined to the domain.
4) The users logged in on the other computers are added as Windows logins. in SQL Server, and mapped to users in the desired databases (can use groups instead of individual users).

I would like to connect SQl server DB in VM using my local sql server management studio.
What should I need for server name ?
Can I use my server Windows authentication for VM in my local ?
Create an empty text file on your VM and give it extension .udl
Doubleclick on it now you can set the properties easy from combobox
Adjust the properties and click on "test connection" until it works
Now open the file in notepad and there you see a complete connection string.
Note that for SQL Server authentication you need to configure the protocol in SQL Server Configuration Manager
When you are in Management studio on your local machine, you will need the hostname or IP address of the VM.
For Windows Authentication, you will need an account on the local domain that both your workstation and the database VM are connected to.
For SQL server authentication, you will need an account in the SQL Server instance.
In both cases, security will need to be configured and associated with your account.
Are you on a domain, or is this just a private server?
Use name of the VM where SQL server is running.
And yes, you can use Windows authentication. Depending on your domain settings.
This will help you How to: Create a SQL Server Login It is not much difference from SQL login.
And if you are in Administrators group on machine running SQL Server, then your login already should be included.
And if your machine with Management Studio and server with SQL Server are in different domains, then you will need to run Management Studio under different account
runas /netonly /user:domain\username "c:\path\ssms.exe"

I have looked everywhere on Stack Overflow and I have not found an answer that closely compares to my scenario, so please bear with me.
The issue is I was recently given a development server at work and I have to migrate my current project (which I have on SQL Server Management Studio running on SQL Server Express) so that it is hosted on that server. I was just given the server name and authorized access to it. So I can connect to it through Remote Desktop Connection (RDC), but I am clueless as to where to go from here.
I have tried going in through RDC and opening Management Studio from there but when plugging in my server name and using Windows Authentication it doesn't let me in. And I can't use SQL Server Authentication because I'd have to be actually in to be able to create an SQL login.
How can I connect to this server through Management Studio?
The server is in the same network? In the management studio, in server name, you can put a IP address or computer name.
Do you know if SQL is even installed on the server you are tasked to deploy to? You are able to "connect" to SQL Express locally because the instance is installed on your local machine. You will need an instance of SQL installed on the remote machine to be able to use SSMS to connect to the remote instance.
If you are attempting to connect to an already created DB that you have been using the credentials are the same, if you know the address and you have the ports opened on your computer to allow the connection. If you are going to start a new DB on the server, then you will have to connect via AD credentials IF your admin has given you the proper access. I personally suggest using AD credentials to create connections, it's just a lot more secure.
If you are trying to connect to the local db, then it should be on the drop down list on the log in screen.
You are going to have to talk with your admin who set it up if you are still having problems.
You might have to Enter your Server Details in the Hosts File on the Current Application Server
For Accessing Hosts File,
Go to Run and type drivers and Hit Enter. Go to the etc Folder and you will see hosts file in the Folder.
At the End of the File Enter the Server IP And Server Name
Save the file and try Logging into the Server Management Studio again
Hopefull, this would help
I have set up an instance of SQL Server Express 2012 on a computer. On this computer I use MS Access as the client to access the data stored on the SQL Server Express. When I open MS Access and click on an object it then prompts me for the SQL Server username and password (I set up a SQL Server Native 11.0 Driver). This works fine. The goal is to put the file on others computers so they can access the data on our SQL Server. I also have enabled the TCP/IP protocols to allow remote connections as well as the Firewall settings that are necessary. However, when I place the file on another computer, it returns SQL Server Error 53.The strange thing is that I have another computer that I tested this on and it works perfectly fine.
My assumption is that I am missing software on the client computer. What software must be present on the client computers so it will be able to access my SQL Server Express on the "server computer"?
Please let me know if you have any questions, at this point I am stumped.
If you're using ODBC, then on the 2nd computer you need to
Start->Control Panel->Data Sources (ODBC)
Select System DSN tab
Click Add...
Select SQL Server Native Client
Give it the same name as the name on the working computer
Select the server to connect to etc.
and you should be OK
I have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine, and now when I want to open that database using SQL Server Management Studio on the client machine it fails to open.
But the database opens normally on the server.
The owner of the database is sa and on client I am logged in with windows authentication.
How to resolve this error??
the server priciple smtech/prabhu is not able to access the database
the user is of client under the server domain
I suggest making sure that the account you are trying to connect with actually has access.
Log onto the server, open up management studio, look in object explorer. There should be a Security folder icon in the treeview, Expand that and the Logins folder.
If the user you are trying to connect with isnt present you may need to add it.
Other than this instead of connecting with windows authentication maybe try connect with SQL Server Authentication as the SA user?
Is both Client and DB sever are on SAME domain ?? If not, then I think Windows Authentication will not work for you.
(As already suggested in above answer) create a SQL Login try with to connect DB from Client using that Login.
If both machine are on same domain and still you are not able to connect server, then few things you can check,
Can your client actually "see" this server over network ??
Most common reason is firewall. By default SQL Server communicates from port 1433 and 1434. Try to see if this MSDN link helps
Make sure that your SQL Server instance is configured to communicate using TCP/IP. This can be configured from SQL Server Configuration Manager.
