Remarks

For the RegisteredServer object, the Login property identifies the login used by default when a connection is made to an instance of SQL Server by a Microsoft client utility.

For the User object, the property associates the referenced database user with a specific SQL Server login record.

For the SQLServer object, the Login property provides a username for connecting when SQL Server Authentication is used to connect the object to an instance of SQL Server.

Note  The recommended method for connecting to an instance of SQL Server 2000 is to use Windows Authentication mode.
