title: Connection issues when trying to connect to a SQL Server database
body: <p>I'm trying to connect to a remote SQL Server database. It's being hosted on another server within the network at my workplace, but I keep getting an error when trying to connect while being logged in under a specific Windows (AD) account.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using SQL Server Management Studio from my local server. I tried logging in with account "x". When specifying the connection string I'm using a SQL Server authenticated user. This is when I get the error below:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/xhfgI.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/xhfgI.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>I logged in with a different account "y" to the server and attempted the database connection again (with the same SQL Server authenticated user), and it worked.</p>
  
  <p>Why would I be able to connect under one Windows account and not the other (from the same server) when I'm trying to connect with a SQL Server authenticated user?
  Could this be that the Windows account is not part of the correct administrator group?</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts or insights are appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you,</p>
