Re: Strange integrated authentication success

No xp's account is not a member of win2003's Administrator Group if I
understand your question properly.

Sure win2003's account of Administrator is a member of win2003's
Administrator Group or Builtin\Administrators.

Is it possible that xp's account you connect to is a member of
Administrator Group on win2003 ?

Hello

I am experiencing strange success of authentication.

I have two boxes, one xp-pro and another windows 2003, both have SQL2005.

Two boxes have no relationships except that they are in same network.
Really nothing such as account and trusted relationship.

Expecting failure, I tried to connect from xp to win2003 with integrated
authentication(trusted_connection=yes).

Result is success. I checked profiler and found the account name is
recorded as Administrator.

What happened?

The two boxes have same passwords for Administrator and I logged on with
the same passwords. But I don't think same password can be a free
passport to the databases.

Do you have any idea?
