We have a SQL 2005 box that requires windows authentication but I have to connect a laptop that is not part of the domain. Is there any way to do this? Per company policy, the SQL server cannot be changed to use SQL Auth AND Windows Auth. Also per policy, the user's laptop cannot be joined to the domain since it's not a company laptop.

I've tried using the following command:
net use \\SQLServerName\ipc$ /user:DomainName\DomainAccount Password

and then using enterprise manager to register the sql server but it still says that the computer is not trusted.

Is there something else to this that I am missing or is this just not possible?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Have the user do a Run As when they open Enterprise Manager.

Thanks - I'll give that a try. It's amazing the obvious things you can overlook sometimes...
