Re: Server not asking for credentials



Thanks for the ideas Steve, I have tried several things in the local
security policy with no luck. I messed around with the net use commands as
well. I just can't seem to get this 2003 server to ask for the credentials
from an unknown computer. If it meets any anonymous logins, it just says
access denied without asking for a username and password to connect. This is
a very fresh install and we haven't done much to it yet except install SQL
Server 2000 and applied SP4 to SQL. I'm going to bed for now. Hopefully
there will be some more suggestions by morning. Thanks.
