Hi guys,

this is my first post and I am new to SQL server 2005 (well, SQL in general).

I have installed SQL server 2005 but cannot remember if I set authentication for it. I have just tried to access a database on this server through ASP (classic, not .NET) but get the error message saying that login failed for <servername>\IUSR_<servername>.

There must be a simple way around this.

Also, is there a way for me to create trusted connections for my server now that it has been installed?

If anyone can give me a few ideas about authentication, etc, I would really appreciate it.

In general, the IUSR_xxxx does NOT have access to the database.
Log on as SA or any other administrator account and add IUSR_xxxx to the database, or change your connectionstring to include a SQL user account instead.
