Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is unable to locate a domain/user object


hello,

      work medical office , experiencing issues sql management studio , after extensive google search have been unable find solution. trying integrate piece of medical equipment running windows 7 sql server management studio installed. according vendor need logged in under local account came machine. per instructions launch sql server management studio , connect database. works fine. right click security/ new/ login. problem strikes. asking me enter our domain , username object box. unable find our domain under locations , manually entering path not allow object found either.

does have insight on how can pointed @ our domain , able add domain user need?

any , appreciated. thanks.

you must join domain (or domain trusted existing domain) before can add domain user login. windows has able contact domain active directory in order figure out domain user is. sql server has sid (security identifier) of domain user.

i presume can connect sql server. type of login have? either using windows user authenticated local computer (a local user such <computername>\lance), or else using sql server authentication login such sa account.

assuming connecting using windows authentication , logged in local account named lance:

you should join computer domain. login computer using local account <computername>\lance. connect sql server using ssms. add domain account <domainname>\lance , make login member of sysadmin fixed server role. , log out of windows, , log in again <domainname>\lance (instead of <computername>\lance), , should go.
