Windows Auth. Mode vs. Mixed Mode Auth. For SQL Instance.
Posted by Mohammad Metwally on September 27th, 2005


I'll install MSCRM On Existing Sql Instance , This instance using Mixed Mode
for Authentication and there are other Applications using this Instance so it
must be in Mixed mode . My question is :
1- CRM Uses Windows auth. so the SQL Instance must be also Windows Auth. or
it's just Recommended ?
2- If it's Must to be Windows Auth. that means i must install SQL Server on
another Server Because CRM Can't work on a named Instance , or uninstall the
Existing SQL Server and reinstall it with Windows Auth. mode For the CRM ,and
install another Named Instance for the other Apps with Mixed Mode Auth. and
then Reattach the DBs?

Mohammad;

CRM uses Windows authentication so if your server is in mixed mode, then it
is set up to handle both Windows auth. and SQL auth., so you should be fine
in your existing instance.
