Remarks
When the Login object is used to create a SQL Server login record, setting the Type property directs evaluation of other properties. For example, if the Type property specifies that the Name property is interpreted as a Windows user or group, Windows Authentication is used for the login created and any setting for the Password property is ignored when the Login object is added to its containing collection. Similarly, if the Type property specifies a SQL Server Authentication login record, any setting for the DenyNTLogin property is ignored. For more information, see Login Object.
