Cannot create SSPI context

Question

I am working on a .NET application where I am trying to build the database scripts. While building the project, I am getting an error \"Cannot create SSPI context.\". This e

Answer 1

Had a really weird instance of this; All the web products that had connection strings containing the windows computer name of the SQL server worked fine, but the products that had a FQDN with the internal domain attached gave an SSPI error. i.e. COMPUTERNAME vs COMPUTERNAME.DOMAIN (ping always worked as expected)

This ONLY gave problems when a new SQL server was being used and hosts files pointed both the computer name and the computername as a FQDN for the connection strings.

Solution in this case was to set all the connection strings to the computer name only, removing the domain references.
