A War Between Me And The Network Admin Over The SQL EXPRESS
Sep 26, 2006
The network admin is saying that if I run my SQL Express in the office , it will intefere with his SQL Server 2000 connection and its services.
He asked me to disconnect myself from the network and do the work locally, what the!??
I had my SQL express remote connection set to Local and remote connections (using TCP/IP connection )
However , I really dont believe a SQL express running on my laptop would in anyway steal incoming connection to the SQL server 2000 running on the company server.
I now have my SQL express set to Local connections only, I would like to ask you guys does SQL express actually conflict with ANY services running on the same network ??
I have SQL Server 2014 (Enterprise) on Server A. The service runs under DomainAAdmin.
The Client machine is B, User credentials DomainBUser.
DomainBUser has a share on B that contains a BCP data file. DomainAAdmin has full access to this file.
If I log onto A (the server machine) with either DomainAAdmin or DomainBUser credentials, and run SQL Server Management Studio with Windows Authentication I can run BCP sucessfully using the following:
BULK INSERT [MyTable] from 'Bsharedatafle.tsv' WITH ( KEEPNULLS , KEEPIDENTITY ) However, if I log onto B, (the client machine and the machine hosting the share) and try to run the same bcp command, I get "Access is Denied".
I'm running a primary and secondary on sql server 2012 enterprise edition on windows server 2012, and it runs fine except when a network outage occurs.
Then the handshaking keeps failing, the databases on the replica show as not synchronizing and the only way to fix this is to reboot both primary and secondary.
We keep getting 3520's, etc. on the DR error log
How to eliminate all these prod reboots?
I increased query connection timeouts to 60, but saw no change.
I have SQL Server Express and VB 2005 Express installed in a Microsoft Windows XP Pro PC that is a terminal PC in our office Network. My Network Administrator has granted my terminal PC for Administrator Use. I tried to do the ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 programming in my terminal PC and I could not get a remote connection in the Window Form Application via Window Authorization. I do not know how to make this kind of remote connection in my Network. Please help and advise.
I have VC++ express and MSSQL SMS express and have an application working nicely locally. The Data explorer and data connections part works really easily.
Now, I want to make the application available to my home network.
I mapped the drive where the database is and called it Z: so I could put my "release" on my other network PC and assumed it would find Z: if I mapped the shared network drive on that machine and called it Z:
But: I can't even add the mapped connection on the local machine, I get:
The file "Z:databasescalorie.mdf" is on a network path not supported for database files. An attempt to attach.....etc"
It works fine on the original F drive.......
Am I approaching this the wrong way. How should I distribute to network PCs?
In my office computer network system (LAN), my Windows XP Pro PC has SQL Server Express and VB 2005 Express installed and I was granted to have the Administrator priviledge to access SQL Server Express. I tried to create a SQLCLR project in my terminal PC. 1) I tried to set up a remote connection to SQL Server Express in the following way: SQL Server EXpress => SQL Server Surface Area Configuration. In the Surface Area Configuration for Service and Connection - local, I clicked on Remote Connection of Database Engine, SQLEXPRESS and I had a "dot" on "Local and remote connections" and "Using TCP/IP only". Then I clicked on "Apply" and "OK" buttons. Then I went to restart my database engine in SQL Server Management. When I went to check SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration, I saw the arrow is pointing to "Service", not to "Remote Connections"!!!??? Is it right/normal? Please comment on this matter and tell me how I can have "Remote Connecton" on after I selected it.
2) After I restarted the database engine (I guess!!), I executed the following project code (copied from a book) in my VB 2005 Express:

I am a new Microsoft VS.NET Express user to do the SQL Server 2005 Express and VB 2005 Express programming by using the example of a tutorial book. Please help and tell me what is wrong in my SQLCLR sep-up and project coding and how to correct the problems.
I have been trying to get Visual Studio Express w/C# to work with SQL Express. If I run with my normal local privs set to Debug User, I get a Login Failed message when I try to add a SQL database using the Add Item feature from the Solution Explorer. If I set my account to run as local administrator, everything works as expected. I am unable to connect to anything from the Database Explorer as well unless I am local admin.
I can run the SQL Express management utilities with no trouble when logged in as Debug User, and everything else in Visual Studio seems to work OK as well.
Is there a cure for this? I keep preaching to my users about the dangers of running as local admin, so I would feel uneasy about doing so myself just to be able to use VS Express.
This has been driving me crazy for weeks and I can't seem to find any info on it... Here is the scenario: I've developed an intranet using ASP.NET 2 and SQL Express. I have the site running on my local development computer and also the production server (Windows Server 2003 running SQL Express). Fully functional connection string for database running on local development computer and running on production server: <add name="ASPNETDBConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename='|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF';Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;Connect Timeout=30" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> Once I roll the site out, I want to be able to develop (to some degree) against the production database. But when changing my connection string to point to the production server from my development computer... <add name="ASPNETDBConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=LancelotSQLEXPRESS;Database='D:OfficenetApp_DataASPNETDB.MDF';Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;Connect Timeout=30;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> ...I get the following error: User does not have permission to perform this action. I've found some documentation about not using the "User Instance=True;" command but without that I get: Cannot open database "D:OfficenetApp_DataASPNETDB.MDF" requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user 'WITTEGregL'. In regular SQL Server, (not Express), I just change the connection string to work against the Local or Production database and it's really easy. I just can't figure out the trick to do the same kind of thing using SQL Express. Can someone clear this up for me? Greg
I have notebook, client server application and sql express sp2 on this notebook. Also, I know domain user login/password, but I don't know any local user name/password and I don't know any sql server user name/password. Domain user is not a local administrator on this notebook.
When notebook connected to the office LAN I am working good with my app-> my sql express as a domain/user.
I'd like to work at home too. I can logon to the system (XP SP2) using domain account when notebook has no network connection. (probably OS caches something)
Is it possible to work with sql express using domain login when no network connection?
PS. old version of this software used MSDE 2000 and it was possible(!).
im redeveloping my application from using access 2000/DAO to VS2005 professional/SQL server express using ADO.NET (i use VB), and just want to make sure i'm on the right lines about using sql server express 2005 on a network. i've spent hours reading every concievable article on the web after failing to create a database on a network drive, and ive just come across a good artricle here but want to be sure i understand what i need to do properly.
am i correct in the following please:
i only need 1 instance of SQL Server installed on the server, local PC's that will be using my SQL database do not need SQL server/management express installing? obviously the database resides on the same server as SQL server 2005 on the network. i dont need any additional software/drivers etc installing on the local pc's (as a miniumum all local pc's will be running w2000 or XP) In my local pc's, i set the connection string to point to the instance of SQL server on the server PC i need to enable the tcp/ip connection stuff on the server. all local PC's need .NET framework 2.0 installing, as well as the server.
as an additional question, what if an end user has another SQL version installed already, say the enterprise version? is it recommended i link my app. to that, or still use SQL express for my own purposes, and are there any issues with having both database engines existing on the same server?
is there a limit on the number of concurrent users. i have read in some places that there is a limit of 4 or 5, and elsewhere that there is not.
is there anything else i should consider?, and any other help or advice is welcome.
Does anyone know of the procedure, steps that need to be followed to allow installing SQL 2005 Express from a network? Since SQL 2005 express requires .NET 2 and the MSI engine 3.1 and MDAC 2.8 it is a real problem pushing it from a network such as active directory using an AIP (Administrator Installation Point).
Is there a limitation in sql server 2005 express that it does not accept connections via the network? I am trying to develop a web application running the web server as a VM but I can't connect to the sql server on the host machine. Similarly, I can't create an ODBC connection on the VM, but I can on the host. I could install sql express on the VM, that is probably the next thing I'll try.
I am trying to attach a network database to my sql server express
After some reading I "Enabled" tcp/ip, named pipes, and shared memory in sql server confiuration manager.
But when I go to "Attach Database" in Sql Express managemnent studio. It does not show the network drives much less allow me to attach anything on a network drive.
What am I missing here?
If I install sql server on the network machine will my local Sql express recognize it?
Hi all, I would like to connect & manage SQL Express 2k5 server from another SQL 2k5 Server / Dev. edition / Express edition management studio, running on the same network. I've followed the procedure at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277 and I can now manage SQL 2k5 Server / dev. edition from a remote management studio. Is it possible to manage the 2k5 Express edition from a remote 2k5 management studio as well? Thanks, Assaf
I have installed SQL Server Express and I can connect with it locally using "localcomputernameSQLEXPRESS". It is configured for remote connection and for some reason, when I browse for this instance on the Network Server, it does not appear in the list. I have unistalled/installed it several times and still I cannot see this instance on the SQL Network server list. Can anyone help troble shoot this frustrating issue...
After the install is done I start the service form the command prompt using
start mssqlserver
I see that the SQL Server service has started under NETWORK SERVICE account!!! when the documentation i Read on MSDN says it starts in Local System account
I have developed a Windows App in VS.NET 2005 which connects to a SQL 2005 Express database.
Now I want to install the app and database on the network and I am getting an error "File 'file_name' is on a network device not supported for database files"
I'm having issues with my sql server 2014 express configuration manager. I need to change protocols under Sql Server Network Configuration but there is nothing, no protocol listed, its empty.

I am trying to start ms sql server 2005 express as a network user from originally starting as local system. I cannot start the service.
I have given this network user administrator access to sql express from the sql server surface area configuration "Add New Administrator". I have went into the local users/groups and added this network user to the 3 security groups
The server could not load the certificate it needs to initiate an SSL connection. It returned the following error: 0x8009030d. Check certificates to make sure they are valid.

SQL Server could not spawn the FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.
I don't recall assigning any sql specific certificates. The reason I'm trying to run this as a network user is because an application on a remote windows server requires it.
After starting the service back running as local system as it was before, I went into the SQL Server Management Studio Express and edited the properties for this new network user I wish to run the service as. I gave him full access including checking all grants in securables.
I now see a bit of a difference in the event logs with these errors.

Hello. I am called Narsiste. I have a problem of configuration in SQL server 2005 express train. In fact, I do not know how to make the configuration to tackle the databases SQL server 2005 express train which are on a station has starting from a station B (both being in a network LAN). But I read in the module of €œconfiguration of the surface of exposure for the services and connections - localhost€? that €œBy defect, the editions Express train, Evaluation and Developer SQL SERVER 2005 authorize only local connections.€?. As it is BY DEFECT, I said myself that it will have to be changed a parameter so that access TCP/IP can go on this version of SQL SERVER.
Here is the message which I have: €œAn error occurred during the establishment of a connection to the waiter. At the time of connection to SQL Server 2005, this failure can be due to the fact that the default settings of SQL Server do not authorize remote connections. (Provider: Interfaces network SQL, error: 26 - Error during the localization of the waiter/the authority specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)€?.
If somebody encountered this problem in the past, that he wants to inform well me of the solution which he found for this last. Thank you.
I am trying to add a new user/login to my database, but SQL server keeps telling me that I don't have permission to do that (error # 15247). Right now I am running Windows authentication, and am logged in as the same user as I was when I installed SQL server, and that user is the administrator for the computer system I am currently running.
It seems like SQL server won't let me change anything having to do with the security of the system - I've tried changing to mixed mode authentication, but I receive the same error then as well.

We have 10+ MSDE 2000 installations on the same network. Each install has a named instance and the machines connect to eachother via VB application. We have a couple SQL 2000 Standard boxes and a SQL 2005 box all running on the same network with no issues. The problem we have recently run into is with a SQL Express box. When the box is on the network OSQL stops finding the MSDE 2000 named instances on the network and only the SQL Express named instance appears in the list. The second the SQL Express box is removed from the network the named instances are visible. I monitored the UDP traffic and suspect there is an issue with the response from SQL Express to OSQL. Can't find any issues for this problem only report I found is if MSDE and Express are on the same machine.

There is a service from SQL Server 2005 that "listens" to the network, if the network is down, all data gets saved within the local instance of the SQL server 2005. And when the network becomes available, the local instance of the sql server will automatically "feed" the local records to the central SQL server 2005.
I'm experiencing problems connecting remotely (through the Management Studio) to a named instance of SQL Server Express 2005.
After investigation I determined it was a firewall issue - turn off windows firewall and I can connect fine. I initially added ports 1433 and 1434 to windows firewall - still no joy. Then I added the binaries explicitly (sqlservr.exe and sqlbrowsr.exe - or whatever they are) - still no joy. So, I looked into the firewall log to see what was being dropped. I found that my IP was trying to connect via port 1047 (TCP)... I've searched for anything about this on google and cannot find any indication that the management studio should be using this port to connect.
If I add this port, the connection works fine. Has anyone else experienced this ? As there seems to be no way of modifying the management studio to connect via a specific port, I'm a bit concerned that something is just not right.
I've developed an application that connects to a SQL Server 2005 Express database. I created a DSN to connect to the database through ODBC. Currently, I am testing locally and everything works fine.
I would now like to install my application on another workstation and connect remotely to the database located on my development machine.
The client workstation does not have SQL Server 2005 Express installed on it because I would just like my application to connect remotely by creating the DSN and using ODBC. What I'm missing here are the database drivers. The "SQL Natice Client" is not available on this client workstation. How can I deploy the necessary drivers with my installation file so that I may create the required DSN name using the SQL Native Client driver?
Can multiple instances of SQL 2005 Express attach to the same database files on a network share? I have seen this done before with MSDE where the database files are stored on the server, but instead of having a SQL server running on the network and then connecting to it, only the database files exist on the network share and the users connect through MSDE running on the local machine. Is this possible with SQL2005Express? I do not have the ability to share an SQL instance from one workstation to another nor do I have the ability to install an instance on the corporate server. Is it as simple as creating the database and storing the files on the share then attaching the database to the SQL Instance on each workstation?
I'm a newbie to Reporting Services so please forgive my ignorance...
I've recently installed SQL Server Express 2005 with Reporting Services on my Vista Business Notebook (with no network connections) and have installed VS C# Express as well as the Business Intelligence Studio to create reports.
My C# application can connect to SQL Server fine, however, the reports I created with Business Studio refuses to deploy to the server due to the following reason:
"The permissions granted to user 'localhostJenny' are insufficient for performing this operation".
I find this odd as I've been able to deploy reports on my other Windows XP machine (with SQL Server Express) no probs at all. Additionally, I cannot see the 'Site settings' link within Report Manager (Web) that I'd normally get with an admin account (i.e. on my Win. XP machine). Various sources indicate that my account has insufficient access rights to view this.
Having browsed through seemingly endless blogs and forums, I suspect that my local account has not been configured to access the Report Manager web client to publish, manage and administer the site.
I have tried the surface area tool for SQL Server, but I suspect that this is relevant only to SQL Server DB access and management. Adding an administrator here does nothing.
The question is, how can I grant access to myself (local account) to allow me to publish reports via business studio, and at the same time - administer Report Manager Site Settings - on my vista notebook??
I would be extremely grateful for any help on this matter - I've tried ceaseless reinstallations, but to no avail!
