There are two AD accounts, admin1 and admin2. Both are logged in to identical machines, both open SQL Server Management Studio and log in as the same SQL user to the same SQL server (using SQL Server Authentication, NOT using Integrated Security), and both run an identical query: “SELECT * FROM View1”. However, admin1 receives many results (the correct result set), whereas admin2 receives an empty result set. This happens on every computer in the domain, regardless of windows version, wired/wireless connection, etc.
Why is this happening? Shouldn’t SSMS be Windows account agnostic when using SQL Server Authentication? Any help would be appreciated.
The issue I had was a result of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, not SQL Server itself. I was using Filtered views, which return zero results to any user not using Windows authentication. I am not sure how I got the results I mentioned above, but trying again another day, I was never able to get results with SQL authentication, no matter what Windows account I was using. Likewise, I was always able to get results when logged in with Windows authentication.
