I am trying to connect SQL Server from a Windows service.
Now my Windows service is installed in different system. Now if I want to connect to my SQL Server, how can I connect?
I am able to connect if I add the respective system userid in the SQL Server login users. I don’t think that is the right way..because if i required to install the windows service in different system again I need to add that user to SQL Server.

    I presume you are using InstallUtil to install the service. You should configure the service to run under a domain account. Let’s call this YourDomain\WindowsServiceDomanAccount

    In the connection string, use the tag INTEGRATED SECURITY=SSPI

    On the SQL Server, create a login for YourDomain\WindowsServiceDomanAccount and grant it appropriate permissions.

    You server should be configured for remote connections to allow non-local connections.
