On one of my SQL Server installations I have a linked server defined. I have created a stored proc that queries the linked server. If I log into the server as me (I'm an administrator) and use Query Analyzer to run the SP, it runs fine. If I am using QA from my own PC, I get: Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.

Any ideas on what is causing this? I will be wanting to have this sp run from a .net application with another (non admin account), but I figured I'd start here at this point.

Thanks so much for any input!

Here's the cause of the problem:

You need to setup the linked server to use a SQL Account when logging into the remote SQL Server.

You are butting up against the NTLM double hop.

I just added a mapping for the clients on server A to a standard security login on server B, on the Security tab of the Linked Server Properties dialog box in Enterprise Manager as per: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/238477/en-us
