Re: Windows Services and SQL Server

Greetings everyone,

I am trying to access my SQL Server 2005 database with a windows service,
the problem is that I can't access it!

It says ERROR [28000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login
failed for user 'ONEWORLD\N5DALVES$'.

Windows services that run in the "Local Service" or "Network Service" account, authenticate using the machine account with a $ appended on the network.

ONEWORLD is my domain, N5DALVES is my computer name.... the $ appears there
like magic...

in the SQL Server I don't have that user... I have ONEWORLD\DALVES...
that's my username in the intranet...

How can I avoid this? I tried to use this connection string:


1. By running your service in a domain account, or
2. When running in a W2K AD domain, you can grant the machine account
(domain\machinename) access rights to the SQL Server database.

DSN=MyDataSource;Uid=TimeFiveUser;Pwd=_TimeFiveUser_;

I'm using ODBC Drivers

Why using legacy ODBC drivers when there are managed stacks available for most DB's systems on the market?
