Hello,
I've setup a linked server from SQL 2017 (IaaS) using a SQL authenticated account with the target being a Azure SQL database (PaaS) and it works fine, I can query this remote PaaS using four-part naming convention.
I've now tried using AD authentication as my local VM (SQL) and the PaaS are in the same domain, however this throws an error saying
Windows logins are not supported in this version of SQL Server. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 40607)
I know the PaaS can accept connections from my SSMS and I can see the user is valid in the PaaS. So I wonder, is this not possible using AD authenticated accounts or am I missing something.
I have tried the account as domain\user and user@domain.com, neither of these work.
