Mixed Mode Authentication

Hi folks,
I have a microsoft SQL server 2000 on a Windows 2003 Server on my network, I
am trying to install project server 2003. Project server tells me that my
SQL server must be in Mixed mode to complete the installation.
The problem is that the server which was installed with "Windows Only" will
not switch to "Windows and SQL". I have restarted the services and still no
joy, what else can I do to change to mixed mode?
thanks
Dave
David,
Is SQL Server a local administrator on the machine? Does it have access
to the registry? This state is stored in the registry, and if SQL Server
doesn't have write permission to the registry it could fail.
The registry key is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft
SQLServer\<instance_name>\MSSQLServer\LoginMode
The value of LoginMode is 1 for Windows Only, 2 for Mixed mode and you
may still see 0 for SQL Server only (servers upgraded from 6.5).

thanks for that, your correct, the currently logged on user which I thought
was part of the local administrators group isn't.

What I meant was, is the Windows Domain Account that the MSSQLServer
service logs on under, a member of the Local Administrators group on the
server.

admins" group so permissions look ok.
