Problems with Windows Authentication

Hi,
We're currently planning to migrate from SQL Auth to Windows Auth.
Personally, I do not have too much experience with Windows
authentication but have heard that there are some problems when working
with it.
The problems I've already ran into were:
"Cannot Generate SSPI Context" (which I've already resolved), and a
more serious problem which prevents me from connecting to a linked
server. (double hop, see http://support.microsoft.com/?id=238477)

Anything else I should expect?

Thanks!

In general, MS recommends Windows authentication over SQL authentication -
if you have Windows client connecting directly to the server then things
should be quite straightfoward. If not (for example, if you're using JDBC),
then you might have some issues, but as with any major change, you should
try it out first in a test environment - if you do have any problems, then
you can post more details here or in microsoft.publi c.sqlserver.sec urity.

The rest of my application is using authentication that is database driven and wouldn't want the users to know the userid and password. Is this possible? If so...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
