XP insists on the use of guest account

I just installed SQL Server 2008 Express on a computer with XP SP3. The installation showed no failure & I can locally access and query databases.

I have a 2nd machine running also XP SP3 which can also access and query the databases mentioned above on #1 using Sql Server authentication.

When #2 tries to use Windows authentication, it (#2) insists on using the guest account to Windows # 1 to access the SqlServer guest account.

If I disable the prompt Windows or SqlServer comments # 1, Windows authentication fails, saying that the respective account is disabled.

I have the same username on the machines and the same password. I also tried using the administrator account on both machines with the

same results. Each machine I use Windows Explorer to access any file on the remote computer. So I think that and

are exactly the same on both machines.

Both machines are on the same workgroup. There is no domain controller.

I did another experiment.   #1 can access and query data bases on #2 using Windows authentication WITHOUT using comments. In fact invited XP is

disabled on #2 most SQL Server Express does NOT include a guest connection.

I posted this problem on the SQL Server Express forum, but had only 1 response which implies that the problem could be due to the configuration of XP. He

certainly no response suggested a SQL Server configuration problem.

Any help will be much appreciated. TIA, Joe

Well, I found the answer & nothing to do with Sql Server 2008 Express.

The problem was with the #1 machine's local security policy setting. Specifically, the network access: sharing and security model

for local accounts. You had to be on "classic - local users authenticate themselves."

  • Unable to connect to the internet through guest account

    We cannot connect to the internet using the guest account. I suspect a security update or my mischievous adolescent son changed a setting. This just recentlty that happened (in the past 48 hours) HELPS... I spent over 2 hours trying to get it online. The journal of WMD works very well and I was able to create another account just to see, and it also connects very well. What is the problem and how can I fix it?  Thanks, Biggator

    You do not want to connect to the Internet by using the guest account because it is precarious. In fact, you won't use the guest at all account. The guest account is a special system account, not one for when you feel hospital. For some reason, it is disabled by default in Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Linux, Unix and OS X.

    On TechNet:

    "The guest account is intended for users who need temporary access to the system. However, if this account is activated, a security risk may exist because an unauthorized user could have anonymous access to the system through this account. »

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb418978 (TechNet.10) .aspx

    So if you have enabled comments, turn it off now and create a standard/Limited (Vista, Windows 7, XP Professional/XP Home) for your visitors. Call the new user account to something like "visitor".

  • The use of two accounts different iCloud with Photos

    How can I use two accounts different iCloud with Photos of Yosemite OSX? For example... My wife and I have iPhones with iCloud different accounts and share a MacBook Pro, which use us her iCloud account. We want to be able to use the photo stream to upload our photos on our iPhones to the Photos on the MacBook Pro app. Thank you.

    I don't think there is a way to link the two accounts iCloud in photos.app library.

    However, my partner and I are in the same situation as you and your spouse: two phones, a MacBook Pro (MBP) and the need to share the photos with others and to optimize the space of our digital camera shots.

    In short, we use the following:

    -Two Photos.app libraries; one on each user profile

    -Two photos of iCloud albums; one for each phone (each of download us the best of our photos of the iPhone) shared with the other

    -A system of photo files referenced on an external hard drive for our digital camera

    -An album to iCloud for digital camera (again, for the best DSLR shots) shared with each other

    With this configuration, we can display each other best shots on all Apple devices through the iCloud sharing feature, and you can see all of our DSLR photos without cluttering the internal SSD.  This system is also convenient when you backup using time machine (configured to capture the MBP and external hard drive), because only one instance of the photo should be saved.

    My only complaint is that files referenced photo can not be uploaded to iCloud photo library a user directly, even if the referenced files will be shown along the iPhone photos side in the Photos.app (hence the need for a DSLR iCloud photo album).

  • I have 10 windows and want to drive DC my default PDF reader.  Even if I put it by default, Windows insists on the use of E (new browser) when I try to open a .pdf file.  How can I force Windows to accept the default player?

    The caption explains my problem, that started after the recent update of Windows 10.  Even if the reader asks if I want to make the default value, and even if I click on Yes and then agree that drive to make changes to my computer (probably the registry), the next time I try to open a .pdf file comes from the browser.  In addition, when I open the drive I can't find a way to open a file in it, which leaves me stuck with the browser rather than drive for all the .pdf files.  What can I do?

    Hi robertb98559829,

    If in the case where it does not drive as default value when the application of the parameters of the application, then we need to change the default OS property values.

    Please, try the following:

    Close the player or any other application using the PDF

    Go to control panel > default programs > associate a type of file or Protocol with a program

    Since scrolling list file Type down to the type of PDF file.

    Click on it to select it.

    Click the Change program button at the top right

    On the next dialog box, select Adobe Acrobat Reader and click OK

    Then close

    Now, try to open a PDF by double clicking on it.

    I would like to know if it works.

  • My administrator account has been demoted to a guest account

    Hello

    MS Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP2
    All the latest updates and hotfixes applied
    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz
    4 GB OF RAM

    I went to uninstall a program, a couple of days, and when they the UAC confirmation to enter a password, I could just click Cancel (OK is grayed and he had nowhere to type a password). I reset the computer, the same question. I checked my user account under control panel > user accounts and noticed that under my username, he said I was using a guest account (!). Problem is that this has always been an administrator account.

    I went to control panel > administrative tools > computer management > local users and groups > users to check what was going on with the account. On the Member tab, it says that the only group I'm in is the debugger users. If I check that guests belonging to a group, only the default account of comments is a member.

    I reset the computer, press F8, and returned in the mode of repair to the system restore a few days ago. This solves nothing, so I restored in a week - the time I can be absolutely sure that I have confirmed successfully an action with the UAC as a system administrator. Still no resolution.

    Accounts administrator and guest of default have been disabled when I bought the computer and never allowed them. As I was alone in the debugger and not to the Administrators group users group, I created only ever this one account - so even in repair mode, I can't log in as an administrator to change the setting of user for this account group.

    Anyway to get this account to a point where user accounts see Computer Management snap-in see, it is to say, that I am NOT a member of the guest, but rather a member of the debugger user group (which I'm lead to believe is a notch below a hand full admin)?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi shehaal,.

    Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

    The built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in Vista.

    However, if no other administrative accounts exist on the system it can be activated.

    If this is the case, you will see an icon for the administrator on the homescreen mode without failure.

    Sign in and then go to control panel > user accounts and change the account type.

    You can also try to create a new user account with privileges that the user account is damaged and check if the problem persists.

    Follow the link that talks about how to create a new account below:

    Create a new user account:

    1. click on the Start button and then click Control Panel.

    2. click on classic view in the left panel.

    3. double click on user accounts.

    4. click on manage another account to use.

    5. click on create a new account, and then type the name.

    6. choose the type of account as an administrator of the computer.

    7. click on create account.

    8. log off and log on with the new account.

    If the problem occurs, don't use this profile instead of the problem. Follow the steps below to transfer personal data.

    User profile of transfer:

    1. log on as the new user account (make sure that the user account has administrator privileges).

    2. click on the start menu, and then click computer.

    3. click the button hold in the upper left corner and choose folder and Search Options.

    4. on the view tab, check "Show the hidden files and folders" and click OK to save the settings.

    5. navigate to the folder C:\Users\(old user name).

    Note: The "old username" is the username of your old account. For example, if your old account user name is 'Larry', the folder must be C:\Users\Larry.

    ((5 copy all the files and folders in the C:\Users\(old folder user name) in the folder C:\Users\(new user name).

    Note: To copy all of the files, we can press Ctrl + A, then Ctrl + C in the folder C:\Users\(old user name). Then, navigate to the C:\Users\(new folder user name), click Ctrl + V. Replace with new files.

    You can also try scan SFC:

    The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.

    2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

    3. at the command prompt, the following line, and then press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    4. hit enter.

    The SFC scan should replace the corrupt files.

    I hope this helps you, good luck.

    For example if I insisted on the use of the word to a column name comment as follows:

    ...

    What is the impact on the track I could expect and what problems should I be informed when doing something like that?

    The best practice is NOT to use reserved words anywhere.
