  • Hi Vijayanj

    By default SQL Server does not allow you to save sa password. (Though check box to save password is enabled)

    Try to login as any other SQL user and save password it will work.

  • Hi Samji,

    Please dont post wrong information..SQL server Allows to save password for SA login by checking that option.

  • Hi Ratheesh,

    On which version of SQL server did you test this? In SQL 2008 you can not save sa password and MS has confirmed it as bug and they are likely to fix this in next releases.

    Please refer the below link

    Nothing personal here please, refer your wrong posting on the below issue.

    I tried in both SQL 2008 and 2008 R2 and I am able to save password without any issue.

    Anyway thanks for the link and its for registered servers i think

    Regarding the post I am asking you whether u sure abt deleting an sql login from SQL Server 2008 while logged with the same log in(Please check I have clearly mentioned SQL login not windows and the post started with deleting an SQL login not windows)

  • Hi Ratheesh,

    Post says, SQL login (SA) was disabled and he was not able to login using Windows Authentication since it is deleted by oversight (The way issue raised is bit confusing)

    Anyways, I want to put full stop to this argument 🙂
