StoreHistoricalPMResults.exe and SQL Mixed Mode Authentication

(imported topic written by murtasma91)

Working with the follwing BigFix KB

http://support.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/kbdirect.pl?id=482

Currently in our deployment our BigFix Database and Web Reports Database are located on a SQL cluster on another domain with no trust between the domain where the server resides and the SQL cluster lives. We are using SQL Authentication to access the database.

Based on what the KB article states

“Note: The Windows user account used to execute the Scheduled Task must have access to the BigFix Database”

It does not appear like this tool will be compatible with our configuration. When I attempt to use the exe I get the following errors.

Will this tool work for us or will we have to have our operators manually update the historical data when they need to view reports?

Hi murtasma,

That is correct and the initial release didn’t support SQL Server authentication (only NT authentication)… but we are currently testing a version that supports SQL Server authentication and we hopefully will have that out shortly…
