Just downloaded SQL Server but fails to connect
Hi i will like to get some help connecting to SQL. I try to connect and get the message: A connection was sucssesfully established but then an error occurred during the login process. thanks
Hello,
you haven't provided more details but assuming you downloaded SQL 2022 and you are trying to connect from a remote computer using SQL Server Management Studio 20 , I can refer you to few links that will help to troubleshoot. note that SSMS 20 has a new dialog box to connect to servers and you might have to select "Trust Server Certificate"
