Is there any way to run stsadm -o addsolution using a SQL Authentication account instead of the windows domain account? My SharePoint hosting provider has the content database in a different domain than my WFE and they are not trusted. I am unable to install a SharePoint solution pacakge using stsadm because my windows domain account does not have permission in the config database. I do have a SQL authentication account, but can't find a way to use it using the stsadm command.
A:
Why do you need to access the content database server if you are deploying a solution package to the WFE server? You need to contact your provider's support for permissions or have them deploy it for you...

Sorry, I meant the sharepoint config database, not the content database. I will update my question. I am trying to add the solution, not even deploy it yet. I am trying to get my provider to help, but they keep telling me it should work as is. I have been going back an forth with them for a few months now and am looking for some more ideas. Thanks.

What error message are you getting? You need to post more details on the setup. Did you try deploying it via Central Admin?
