You are using Windows NT authentication for the Preflight or Workbenchdatabases, and!

Clear the Grant database access to IIS Guest Account. checkbox,and! Either create an identical local user account on both computers (the IISserver and the SQL database server), or identify a domain user that canbe specified on each computer (domain account recommended)."Identical" means both the user name and password are the same.!
