MX7 SQL Server 2005 datasoucre error

Question

Webserver is Windows 2003 RC2, MX7.02
SQL Server is Windows 2003 RC2, SQL Server 2005 (9.0.1399)
CF and SQL are on seperate machines
[edit: the fix]
OK, gotta love those netops guys.
So we were narrowing it down to server -> server
communication issues...specifically windows authentication.
We set up a SQL Server user on the SQL Server and set up the
datasource in coldfusion that used that SQL Server user (not
DOMAIN\user, just user) and skipped the whole System DSN on the
webserver and it works.
So the long and the short of it is that there seems to be
some network trust issue between our app server (cf) and our db
server (sql) and we are unable to set up datasources the way we
used to (from win2k/cf5 -> win2k3/sql2005). Oh well.

[Edit: additional info]
SQL Server logs give this error message:
Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 6.
I've looked up this error message on msdn (
http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2006/02/21/536201.aspx)
and they say it means "Attempt to use a Windows login name with SQL
Authentication"
I've made sure that SQL Server is running in "SQL Server and
Windows Authentication Mode" (and restarted). No change. Of course
Adobe says that you HAVE to use "SQL Server and Windows
Authentication Mode" and Microsoft say the fix to the error is to
chose "Windows Authentication Mode". Grrr.
I've tried changing the JDBC URL to the IP of the SQL Server
and I get the same error mesaage. I purposely fudge the IP and I
get a totally different "time out" error (duh ;^) So something
about the way Cold Fusion talks to SQL Server isn't quite right.
I feel dumb asking this, but is there any specific
documentation about connecting MX7 to SQL Server 2005? The
documenation on livedocs refers to SQL Server 2000 (I think...but
I'm sure it's not talking about 2005). I'm beginning to wonder if
there is some stupid little step that I missed somewhere along the
way when setting things up...*sigh*
[/Edit]
I get the following error when attempting to set up the
datasource in Coldfusion administrator:
Connection verification failed for data source: wamaxDS
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Login failed
for user 'UWT\cfusion2'.
The root cause was that:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Login failed for
user 'UWT\cfusion2'.
Now, I've got our production box which is running CF 5
connecting to the same database on the same SQL server and does NOT
get the 'Login failed for user' error...which leads me to believe
that it's not a simple permissions issue. To be clear my CF5 box
connects fine to the database. My CF7 box simply will not.
I've installed the latest JDBC drivers and set up a
datasource that generates the error above (I get the same error
when trying to set it up as "Microsoft SQL Server" with the obvious
exception of the driver in the error being different).
I've searched the forums and did the TCP/IP fix.
I've tried setting the ODBC DSN up in windows using "windows
authentication" and the "mixed mode"...I'm just lost here.
I've lost track of the combinations of things I've tried to
get this to work (ya know how you get into "try anything and pray
mode"?...that was me all day today).
Hopefully I've provided enough information to get someone
started on helping me. If I've left anything out, please chastise
me and then let me know what I need to let you know. Sorry if this
message is incoherent...my brain is mush *sigh*.

Hi,
I presume, this is how you have placed your code
Code Snippet
-- Retrive the product archive record
select * from dbo.api_userArchive where isActive = 1
Seems just fine. Could you post the error. Also try posting the entire code
