Allowing A Conenction To A SQL Server 2005 Database From Another Computer On A LAN
Mar 8, 2007
I am working with one other person on a VS 2005 vb.net web project that accesses SQL Server 2005. Both the computers are connected and my partner can run the application on his computer from his VS 2005 but we are getting an error on our first databind to a gridview on the page we are trying to run the error is below
A connection was successfully established with the
server, but then an error occurred during the
pre-login handshake. When connecting to SQL Server
2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that
under the default settings SQL Server does not allow
remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider,
error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)
I check the properties of the SQL Server and the check box is checked that says allow remote access. I am not sure what to do.
Hi,I need to know the way in which I can copy my sql server 2005 database from one computer to another ? Please I need a clear and complete explanation ,thanx .
Hi All I have Computer is setuped SQL Server 2000 and SQL server 2005 when I restore SQL Server 2005 it's OK but when it's not OK when I restore in SQL Server 2000. The Error as follows:
I have a very basic console application whose sole purpose is to query a database on the same local computer. When i run the application, i get the error message below: Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'someDomainSomeUserName'. Below is my connection string also myconnection_string = New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:Reporting SystemApp_Datasafetydata.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True"). After some googling, some post pointed to deleting a user folder at : C:Documents and SettingsmyusernameLocal SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server DataSQLEXPRESS but still deleting that folder and restarting the machine doesn't help and i also have remote connections enabled. Help is really needed. NOTE: The same application runs on a different computer with XP but fails on the Pc with windows server 2003.
I have written a windows service using VB.NET that connects to a database and performs several tasks. The service is working correctly and has been fully tested against SQL Server 2000. I have recently moved to SQL Server 2005 and now, the service will not connect to the database.
I have setup and tried several different users, but none work, I get the following message:
Login failed for user 'OEESYSTEMS'
The server instance, username and password I specify are all correct.
The service is running on the same server as SQL Server. I can connect through a web application, and through ODBC. The server is set to use SQL server and windows authentication, and is setup and successfully allows remote connections.
It looks like SQL server sees that a windows service is trying to connect and does not allow it.
For the love of god, can anyone help with this issue.

Will SQL Server 2005 developer edition and Visual Web Developer Express work on the same machine? One reviewer of SQL Server 2005 developer edition on amazon.com stated won't work on the same machine? Is this true?
I am unable to connect to a remote server on Computer A from Computer B, but when I reverse it I am able to connect to a remote server on computer B from computer A. I have SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on both computers. I am using the using the SQL Management Studio to connect. Both Computers have these settings
Using Surface Area Configuration both have local and remote connections checked. Both computers using tcp/ip only checked.
Using Configuration Manager both the sql server and the sql browser are running. Both computers have tcp/ip protocols enabled.
Under the server properties on both computers, under the Security Tab, I have SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode checked. Under the Connections tab I have Allow remote connections on this server checked.
I believe I have the Security for both the server and databases done properly giving them both proper Logins and User Roles with the proper permission.
Also went to my window firewall settings and under the Exceptions tab, I added both the sql server.exe and sql browser.exe programs on both computers on my remote network.
But when I connect on Computer B, I get an error message stating:

I tried pinging server a and then server b and they both pinged.
Could someone please tell me what could be wrong on my remote computers.
I have SQL server 2005 on a Windows 2003 machine. The machine is old and I need to move the entire SQL server to a new machine. There are many databases and users that need to move across to the new server. Detaching and attaching the databases would be tedious due to the large number of databases. Is there a way of moving the DB's and SQL users to the new machine without having to do each db one at a time?
Additional info that might be helpful: The new server's IP address and name must also change to that of the old server. The old server initially had SQL 2000 on it and was upgraded to SQL 2005. The new server was installed with SQL 2005 only. Hence the Database and log paths differ between the old and new server.
I have installed SQL server 2005 and after I uninstalled it. and tried to install again but my computer recognize the old version of Sql Server 2005 and only allow to install documentation and client components
How to unintall Sql server 2005 complete from my computer ?
Hello, Sorry for my question, I know, that there were several topics about sql 2000 vs SQL 2005, I read all them but unfortunately I haven't got the correct answer. I must install my intranet application that uses asp.net 2.0 and SQL 2005 Express to a Windows 2003 server with SQL 2000. It is possible to install SQL 2005 Express beside the 2000 server? It is very important, because I have no possibility to test and that Win2003 server there are a few programs that use SQL 2000. What will happen with the 2000 databases and their programs if I install the 2005 Express to the server? They will work fine with 2000 and my application will work with 2005? Or instead it should I configure my application to use 2000 capable connentionstrings?
I just got a Virtual Dedicated Server and installed SQL Server Express 2005 on it and while I was installing choose Mix Mode authentication and setup a sa password.....
I want to connect to that database remotely from my machine using VS 2005 or Management Studio....both are encountering the same problems.....
On the Virtual Dedicated machine if I install management studio I run has no problem....it asks me for the server name : somethingSQLEXPRESS then username and password and works fine...
The same thing I try to do remotely is not happy with ....I tried to give the IP address of the server same thing no luck.....
Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong and where....
New forum member here, and pretty new to SQL Server. My question is I'm having an impossible time trying to connect MS Access on Computer A to a database running on SQL Server 2k (SP3) on Computer B. Every time I try to create a new ODBC connection on Computer A, I get the dreaded Server Error 17 (SQL Server does not exist or access denied). I have no problems making the ODBC connection on the computer running SQL Server (Computer B).
My connection settings are as follows:
Computer A name = MAINDESKTOP Computer B name (contains SQL Server) = HOMELAPTOP Workgroup name = WORKGROUP
Server Properties:
Name = HOMELAPTOP Authentication = SQL Server and Windows Registered SQL Server Properties = Use SQL Server authentication, and I'm using a login name and password Server Network Utility = TCP/IP network protocol enabled, with default port 1433 Server Client Network Utility = TCP/IP network, default port 1433
Under "Security", I have created a new login using SQL Server Authentication called "bradley", and have assigned a password to the new login. I've noticed that when I open the login properties dialogue, there are always more ***'s in the password field than the number of characters I originally used, but I suspect that's normal. I have assigned a database called "Costume" to "bradley", and have verified that the permission is checked on the Database Access tab for user "bradley".
Under "DatabasesCostume", I have verified that there is a user called "bradley" with the same login name and user name.
No matter what I try, I can't get Computer A to connect to Computer B's SQL Server database. I have no problems with any other types of connections (pinging, internet, file transfers).
I'have this error during install of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (x86). I'm Using Windows XP Professional with SP2 Build 2600. Does anyone knows how to solve this?

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup was unable to install on your computer.
I have a client that has POS software called Restaurant Pro Express (RPE) from www.pcamerica.com Their old POS computer had a hardware failure, but I was able to attach the hard-drive to another computer and recover the data. RPE uses a MSSQL database system. However, my client doesn't seem to make backups very often - the last one is dated January 5, 2015.
I was able to copy the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server folder over which contained the instance as well as all the data files - and has up-to-date information. The instance in the recovered Microsoft SQL Server folder was called MSSQL.1. I installed the RPE software on their new computer, and it too now has an instance called MSSQL10_50.PCAMERICA. The new computer is using MSSQL 2008 R2, while I believe the old computer would have been using MSSQL 2005.

I have a user who is trying to load SQL server 2005 Express on a new Acer laptop computer. The computer has the following: Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bits AMD Turion 64 mobile technology CPU 1790 MB of RAM When the user tries to load SQL server 2005 Express it does not load. The user after the load is getting an €œUnhandled exception has occurred in your application€? when he tries to run the application. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Just upgraded to SQL Express 2005 from MSDE for Firehouse. Upgrade went great and the db is accessable and running fine. Except when not used for a while. Then I need to restart the db to allow connections of any kind. If I don't I get an error that the db is not accessable and I can't connect. Everything runs fine after until it goes to "sleep" on me again. We upgraded to make use of the 4GB limit as we were at 1.9GB and MSDE was getting a little unhappy.
Any suggestions? Is this a "feature" and if so, is there a script I can run to kick it into working mode again?
I'm relatively new to administering SQL Server, hence this basic question.
What are the standard practice tool(s)/methods for allowing users access to a database to edit data? In this case, these are engineers (not programmers) that need to edit some values. The practice in the past has been to install Enterprise Manager on their PC. However, this does not seem proper to me and I was thinking more along the lines of having them use Access instead.
I compare Enterpise Manager in SQL Server as an equilvalent to Enterprise Manager in Oracle - these are tools only for use by database administrators. Is this a correct correlation, or is Enterpise Manager in SQL Server a tool that users (and programmers?) are commonly allowed to use? In the case of common users, I would think not.
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?
I have read that it is possible to configure sql server express so that the database can only be accessed through stored procedures. Can anyone tell me how to do this. Many thanks.martin
Hello,I have a foreign key constraint between two tables (Appointments andMissedAppointmentReasons) and I'd like to allow null values in Appointmentstable for the field containing the MissedAppointmentReason, but currently, Iget a Foreign Key Constraint Error when I try to add a record to theAppointments table.Any ideas how I can have the null values but still maintain the Foreign KeyConstraint?Thanks!Rick
I'm working on an SSIS Package which has an Execte SQL Task that does a simple query from a Netezza database:
select max(dimensionKey) from dimTable
I use an ODBC connection to connect to the Netezza database. If I configured the SQL Task to produce one row of record, then use a integer type variable to capture the result. I got the following error:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "MaxDestinationKey": "Result column index 0 is not valid.".
If I configured the SQL Task to produce a full result set, and use an object type variable to capture the result, I got the following error:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "select max(ExternalKey) from admin.dim_external" failed with the following error: "Disconnected recordsets are not available from ODBC connections.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Similar SQL Task that insert and update Netezza tables worked fine. Just when i need to extract the result set, I got this problem.
By the way, I also was able to get it to work using a script task, and odbc connection, ODBCCommand.ExecuteScalar(), etc. When the dimension table gets very big, the script task would time out. However, when I got timeout tried to insert and delete records in Netezza using the Script Task component, I was able to get it to work by using the Execute SQL Task without encountering timeout. Not sure why they behave differently, as both odbc conneciton strings are the same. Thus, I want to try using the Execute SQL Task in the query situation to bypass timeout issue, but without luck extracting the result. Also configuring Netezza timeout so far seems uneffective and Netezza hasn't resolved my support ticket. Long story short, if you want to suggest I use Script Task it will not help me.
I'm not exactly sure how to phrase this problem. If I'm going about this the wrong way, any pointers would be appreciated.
I am using an expression for a data source connection so I can decide which server/database to use at runtime. I also need to pass credentials to use for that connection. The only way I'm able to get this to work is to specify "No Credentials" for the data source and then pass a DataSourceCredentials to the report throught the report viewer. This works, for the most part, but puts a "Change Credentials" link in the report viewer.
What I think would be much better is if I could specify the credentials in the connection string that I pass. However, everything I've tried so far has not worked. I get errors complaining that the compination of options is invalid or that the report server cannot find the credentials of "unknown keyword: User Name". All by trying various combinations of things.
How do other people go about this? I've seen blogs implying that this is not such a big deal (that credentials CAN be passed over in the connection string). Hopefully I'm missing something simple here. If I have no choice, the "Change Credentials" link will not be the end of the world, but that's very sloppy. The people viewing this report will not know anything about the database credentials and I'd rather not show them somthing as inviting as a link that can get them off track.
I am having seriuos problems getting VoIP traffic into and out of my network via the ISA server which we just newly installed.
My network topology is such that the phones i am using for the VoIP service, sitting inside my network and behind the ISA server, have to register to some remote proxy server outside my network and as soon as it registers i can begin using the service. The VoIP service is on the platform of SIP and uses udp ports 5060 and 8080.
I have permitted the necessary ports on the ISA server for the service being UDP port 5060 and 8080 but still cannot get my VoIp traffic through the server.
Please i need some help here as regards something i am supposed to do or something i am not doing right on the ISA server to permit my traffic.
I am a newbie to this Microsoft ISA server and i hope you all understand
