I have a fresh install of SQL2008 R2 on a new server.

I installed SQL2008 R2 - chose mixed mode for authentication. After install I can login to database engine using windows authentication (administrator) but can not log in as 'sa'.

I get message error 15535 can not set credential for 'sa'.

I also can not map the sa account to a couple of ERP databases I copied over from SQL2005 Express Edition......

Any thoughts?

Never Mind - I found a MSDN article - the 'Map to Credential' checkbox must be checked on the general tab under properties.........
