just wondering is it possible to use mixed mode on sql server 2005 for user sa? I know how to do this in management studio but this isn’t enough for user “sa”. I think it needs done else where.
I am trying to connect to the database via a console app but keep getting the error “The account is disabled”
Cheers
Louis

If you didn’t enable Mixed Mode Authentication during setup then you will need to do so in server properties > Security (you can use Management Studio – see above link). You will also need to enable the sa login and set an appropriate password.
Be sure to restart the SQL Service after changing the authentication mode for the changes to take effect.
