Distributed query

First question : what are the necessary step to allow remote access (linked
server) using Windows logging and no Active Directory available
I tried the following without success
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'sql2k5', 'false', 'Soline\myLogin',
'sql2k5\mylogin', 'remotepassword'
but when I map to sa remote server login it works fine, so my questions
A - Does that mean that we can not map windows login as far as delegation
is not possible becaus of non existance of AD?
B - what are the min requirements (privilges) to be given to login rather
then "SA" login on the server leveland on the DB level in order to be able t
o
run distributed query. what I mean by that is there any good step by step
procedure to follow to implment this using min priviliges on both sides as o

Lcris blog regarding "Cross database access"Hi,
If you would like to use Windows login without AD to access linked servers,
the Windows Authentication is NTLM then.
It is required to create a same user with same password on each machine.
For your two questions:
> A - Does that mean that we can not map windows login as far as delegation
is not possible becaus of non existance of AD?
If there is no AD, please manually create the Windows user with the same
password on both machine.

> B - what are the min requirements (privilges) to be given to login rather
then "SA" login on the server leveland on the DB level in order to be able
to run distributed query.

If you just want to query the database, the min requirements is that the
user corresponed to the login needs db_datareader permission.
First create a login on the remote server, double click the login, switch
to the User Mapping, map the login to a user of the database, and assign
db_datareader permission;
Then on your local server, execute the SPs as following:
sp_addlinkedserver 'mySqlServer-03'
sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'mySqlServer-03',false,NULL,'s1','s1'
Hope this helps. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel
free to let me know.
Have a good day!
