I'm trying to change a user from windows authentication to SQL Server authentication once the account has already been created. Is this possible? It appears that the option has been greyed out.

Many Thanks

You cannot change the authentication mode once the login has been created. You have to create a new login selecting SQL Server Authentication and select the roles and user mappings for the new login.

yes you can change your windows authentication to sql server by doing this login with windows authentication and right click on current authentication and go to properties and click on security node now change your authentication to sqlserver.
