Can't connect using mixed auth. mode and a windows accounts

Hi Customer,

This is Mark, a SQL Server Engineer. I'm glad to assist you with the issue.
By the way, may I call you Moon?

Based on your description, I understand that you would like to let the
domain user connect to the SQL Server. Is it correct? If I misunderstand
the issue, please tell me. That will help us resolve the issue quickly.

in order to resolve the issue, I would like to explain the following:
1 The following actions you did by configuration manager will not change
the authentication model the SQL Server use. Those actions will change the
SQL Server startup account.
selected 'this account'->select the the domain administrator account,
and entered it's password.

2 To change the authentication model used by SQL Server, there are some
detail steps for you.
In SQL Server Management Studio Object Explorer, right-click the server,
and then click Properties.

On the Security page, under Server authentication, select the new server
authentication mode, and then click OK.

In the SQL Server Management Studio dialog box, click OK, to acknowledge
the need to restart SQL Server

3 For domain account, they also should use windows authentication to
connect to the SQL Server.
right kick SSMS->run as-> 'the following user'->type the domain user name
and password. Then we can use the domain user to connect to the SQL Server
by SSMS

Note, before doing the above, make sure the domain user is a login account
of the SQL Server.

If you have any questions on the above information, please tell me.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Mark Han

Thanks Mark and Ekron,

Yes this is a stand-alone server and therefore is also an AD. After
reviewing your comments, I think I understand my problem. I had assigned
the domain administrator account to this SQL instance. Then I closed ssms
and tried to reconnect to the SQL server instance using SQL server
authentication AND the domain user account. I think a long time ago there
was an option to select mixed mode where you could use a domain account or a
local SQL account, but here if I want to use a domain account I MUST select
Windows Authentication rather than SQL Server Authentication. All seems OK
now. Mark, FYI: I searched online and also in my SQL 2008 books and did
not find this articulated anywhere. Maybe its just obvious to most people
but I didn't get it until now.

Thanks for the help!!!

moon.
