Hi there,

I have an ancient SQL server that is running windows only. Would it break the space-time continuum to change it mixed mode? I don't have a way to test this....

If not is there a way to make it think its a windows user that's connecting?

Thanks

Laura

You can make the change without causing issues.

If you want an application to connect to SQL Server using Windows authentication, then you would specify that in the connection string.
