Can't Connect To Multiple SQL Instances Over The Internet With SQL Browser Service
Nov 2, 2006
I recently setup mutliple instances of SQL Server Express at my office. I have 1 default instance, and two named instances. I can connect to the named instance of the default port of 1433 with Microsoft SQL Management Studio Express, however the other instances on dynamic TCP ports can not be accessed by the instance name over the internet. I have to specify the dynamic TCP port in this form: xxx.uconn.edu/SQLTEST, Port number. My current thinking is that the SQL Browser service should tell Management Studio Express what dynamic port number each SQL instance is listening to. Any ideas?
after installing SQL Server 2008 R2 and the Reporting Services, I've managed to access the Report Manager URL....Reports through the web browser on the machine itself. But if i am trying to connect to on my client browser it does not find the Report Server.Do I need to configure the server in any way? Do I need to configure the firewall?
I have configured an instance to use static port, say 1435, and I turned off the Browser service.
I would like to know if I can use SSMSE to connect to the instance database directly. The instance is listening at port 1435 and accepting connection requests from other methods.
What I need to put into the "Server name: " field?
Normally, it would be like: <serverIP><InstanceID> with Browser turned on.
Now how do I add the port information to it, I tried
System information: 1. Our Reporting Server installed on a DB server. 2. We have one windows application which executes on the same server, which generates the reports snapshots. 3. One set of reports with single Shared data source
Scenario: We have many countries for which report history snapshots needs to be generated. The report information is stored in different databases named as database_CountryCode on the same DB server.
Questions: 1. We need to dynamically change the shared data source connection string to point to the respective country database, when generating the report for that particular country. --> We found out this can be accomplised by using parameterized connection string in report specific data sources in SQL 2005. Can we achive something similar in SQL 2003 Reports as well? 2. We also need to instantiate the reporting service web service in multiple threads, one for each country, where in each thread picks up the corresponding country code, changes the connection string and generates reports snapshots. Can this be accomplished? I know this goes against the entire idea of licensing, but my question is just about feasibility of this idea.
Addnl Info The CreateReportHistorySnapshot method of reportingservice.asmx returns a snapshotID, which is the timestamp of report snapshot creation. We tried creating the same report snapshot for the same country in 2 threads. Whenever the timestamp for both snapshots was same, only one report snapshot actually got created. Can this be overcome?
I am using SQL Server 2005 developer edition and Visual Studio 2005. I am working on local computer and when I define a cube I am using data sources to which I can connect without any problem using "Test connection". However, when I want to perform calculation or browse a cube I get a message of either I am as a user do not have permission to access source database (in reality I do have this permission) or source database does not exist (in reality it exists). I check the SQL Server Browse Service and it is not running and the option of starting it is disabled (Start mode is undefined and only properties option can be used). I already have enabled the TCP/IP and Named Pipes protocols but I still cannot browse cube data. Any help SUPER welcome. Elka
Please help me connect sql server over internet. I tested the connection in Windows XP, SQL Sever 2000, Router (forwarding IP port 1433) and its is working properly.

Can any one help me to setup this network. Thank you in advance!
I have 2 instances of SQL-Server 2000 running on my computer. I connected to them through SQLServer enterprice Manager. Now I want to connect to a Database that is stored on my WebHosting-Site [on INTERNET] The Server-IP address is 65.22.42.57.etc.......... WHILE I can connect to That Database from Visual-Studio server-Explorer..........I cannot connect to that server from SQLServer-EnterpriceManager. It says 'You need to use SQLServer 2005 tool'. But there is no Connect-word to create a connection in 'SQLServer 2005'-Manager.'
I want to connect to other computer that installed M$ SQL Server2K over INTERNET. could you help me, plz.
I have used DNS (DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM) to forward to my computer( that connect to INTERNET) and my friend computer is the same. (because we have not static IP).
We have the following problem. Our DB (MSDE 2000) is situated on remote server on which we
have administrator privilege. The application which works on Local net connect to every machine in
the net and see the database on one of the mashine as well.
The connection string is data source=192.168.0.1XXXX;initial catalog=XXXX;integrated security=SSPI;persist security
info=True;workstation id=XXXX;packet size=4096"
but when we change IP in the connection string to our remote server(in internet with static IP) one we get
an exception says that SQL server does not exist or access denied. We opened ports on firewall but problem is still here. Then swithched off the firewall at all
SQL Server Browser listens on a UDP port and accepts unauthenticated requests using SQL Server Resolution Protocol (SSRP). SQL Server Browser should be run in the security context of a low-privileged user to minimize exposure to a malicious attack. By default, SQL Server Browser starts using the Local System account. The logon account can be changed by using the Windows Services program. The minimum user rights for SQL Server Browser are as follows:
* Deny access to this computer from the network. * Deny logon locally. * Deny logon as a batch job. * Deny logon through Terminal Services. * Log on as a service. * Read and write the SQL Server registry keys related to network communication (ports and pipes).
In our case the SQL Server Browser service is running under the same Windows account as our other SQL Server services. Do you recommend creating a separate Windows account for the SQL Server Browser service as described above?
Can you help me understand how an attack can occur?
I am making a web application and it works fine. It uses Sql Server 2000 as the database. But when I connect to the Internet and compile or run my application it gives me this message :
" SQL SERVER DOES NOT EXIST OR ACCESS DENIED"
it works finewhen iam not connected to the internet
I'm Building a windows application which updates an internet site's database.Is it possible to connect directly to the sql server through the internet?If so is it the most efficient way ? perhaps a web service or streaming is a better solution?Thanks.
I created a DTS FTP task to connect to an FTP site. The problem I'm having is the folder I want to access you cannot see under the Files Tab. So if I put the ftp site/subdirectory in the FTP Site box, I get the error "Unable to connect to internet! Please check the source site information, your username and password"
If I go to the FTP site/subdirectory in IE all the files show up fine. I believe this is limitation of DTS, but I would like to hear from you all first.
To see what error I'm talking about: Create a DTS FTP task Use: ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/ with no username or password Click the Files Tab
Normally you can just put the server name in, and see all the folders/files, but the way my FTP site is set up I cannot see the folder I want, I can only access it.
Hi all, I 'm in VietNam, i want to use SQL server 2000 to connect to SQL server in China throught the internet. I did it in many way but it did not work, please show me. Best regards
Please assist, the issue with SQL 2005 Browser and SQL 2000 Server Service is understood.
Our problem is with networked 2000 instances and SQL Express. The SQL 2000 machines (Standard & MSDE) do not have SQL 2005 or Express installed only 2000. When a SQL Express computer is put on the network with the SQL Browser service running almost all SQL 2000 machines lose sight of the other SQL 2000 instances. The second the SQL Browser is turned off on the SQL Express box the SQL 2000 machines can see each others instances. It appears that the response from the SQL Express SQL Browser causes the SQL 2000 machine to stop listening for responses. Once in a while one of the SQL 2000 instances will show up with the SQL Browser active on the network and it is my belief that it is because that response made it in before the SQL browser response. Please help as this does not appear to be a recognized issue. I'm assuming there aren't many sites running as many named instances on individual machines like we do.
Please note this appears to be a problem with SQL Express Browser not SQL 2005 Standard's which runs without problems on our network.
I'm trying to configure a named instances of SQL Server 2012 SP2 to have specific IP addresses and listen to that IP on port 1433. Alongside this, I have the default instance running on a different IP and listening to that on port 1433.I've managed to get them configured so that they are reachable using the IP, and looking at the log for each they are listening correctly on that IP on port 1433; in addition, the default instance connects fine using the SERVERNAME.However, when I try and connect to the named instance using the SERVERNAME/INSTANCENAME syntax, I receive the following:-
"Cannot connect to SERVERINSTANCE. Instance failure. (System.Data)"
Configuration for the TCP/IP protocol for that instance is as follows:-
Protocol Tab
Enabled= Yes Keep Alive = 30000 Listen All = No
IP addresses Tab
IP1 Active = Yes Enabled = Yes IP Address = 10.1.1.1 TCP Dynamic Ports = 0 TCP Port = 1433
[code]...
The SQL Browser service is running and prior to switching off Listen To All, I could connect to the instance remotely using the instance name.
Hi!I am trying to connect to my SqlServer 2005 thru internet, but it is notworking. I have a dyndns updater on my server which tells me an ip addressof the router. The router is configured to forward TCP port 1433 to LAN IPaddress of the computer on which is SQL Server installation.What is the connection string to connect to my server.I tried xxx.dyndns.org:1433, but it doesn't work. There is a defaultinstance installed on that machine.Please help.Zvonko
I have been trying to drill down to the cause for this event log message: "The configuration of the AdminConnectionTCP protocol in the SQL instance SQLEXPRESS is not valid." It is reported from the SQLBrowser service as a warning when the service starts. I have tried starting SQLBrowser.exe with -c flag, but the output reveals no errors. I have seen this error on three computers. Two are running SQL 2000, 2005 and Express. One was only running Express, but still this message. I then looked into the log for the SQL Express server itself. It shows this message on startup: "Dedicated administrator connection support was not started because it is not available on this edition of SQL Server. This is an informational message only. No user action is required." Now, it appears to me that these two messages may relate to the same "error" (or rather behaviour by design). So, can anyone confirm that the warning in the event log from the SQL Browser service occurs becuase of that the SQL Express edition doesn't allow any "AdminConnection", but the SQL Browser service isn't aware of that SQL Express edition shouldn't support that, and reports it as a warning (implying that we can't do much about this warning)?
I think this is a question for the specialists among us.
Can I use one general reporting server (installed on instance MAINREPORTING) for multiple customers who all have their own sql instance (CUST1, CUST2, CUST3, ..) I would use UserAuthenciation on the reportserver url to display the specific reports customers can use.
Is this possible, and what do i have to take care off concerning installation and/or configuration (especially on the reporting side) ?
I am in the process of evaluating the use of Service broker for messaging in a load balanced configuration, and am not having any success. My configuration is as follows. 1) Master database on Box #1 which is the initiator of all dialogs 2) Target database on Box #2 3) Target database on Box #3 One of my goals is that the databases on Box #2 and #3 are as close to identical as possible. My routing table on Box #1 looks something like the following Name remote_service_name broker_instance address TargetOne TargetService E96DC67E-F696-4D93-8545-C2E92157E32D tcp://server1:4022/ TargetTwo TargetService 56607120-26AA-4AAA-B9E4-F14689C40E41 tcp://server2:4022/ My messaging process begins with a dialog initiated from the master database (Box #1) to each of the target services. At this time, only the first server "tcp://server1:4022/" is receiving messages. The sys.transmission_queue shows a message outbound to "tcp://server2:4022/" with a blank status. I believe that my delivery problem has something to do with the resolution of the dialog certificate need for the conversation. The MSDN documentation states that: "Service Broker uses a remote service binding to locate the certificate to use for a new conversation...The certificate for user_name must correspond to the certificate for a user in the database that hosts the remote service." I am confused as to how I would configure remote service binding if one can not create more than one binding for the same remote_service_name. The following throws an exception on the last creation of the binding. ---CODE SNIP--- CREATE CERTIFICATE UFEDlgCertTargetPublic
I was working on some software that required SQL Server Database so I inserted the SQL cd and installed a new instance turns out all I need to do is create a new database under the current instance. How do I remove this obsolete instance. I already disabled the service but I'd like to remove it from the Ent. Mgr as well.
In our project, we would like to use the same data source for our analysis service database cubes and for our reporting service reports.
I created the analysis service project first, deployed successfully. When trying to setting up the data source in the report model project, I selected the "create a data source based on another object", and then selected the "create a data source based on an analysis service project". However, there is no analysis service project to select, and no browse button to see where the reporting service is looking for analysis service project either.
I have tried creating a new analysis service project with data source views, cubes, dimensions and all the stuff, but still cannot see the analysis service project in the drop down box to be selected for my reporting model project data source.
As I am fairly new to the reporting service, I'm sure I'm missing something, but couldn't find much information in the help or on the web. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
Hi, I am struggling establishing message communications between Service Broker instances setup on two SQL server machines. I used nielsb Service Broker examples scripts to setup these service brokers but messages always get stuck in sys.transmission_queue with transmission_status field with the error....
"Error: Dialog security is unavailable for this conversation because there is no security certificate bound to the database principal (Id: 5). Either create a certificate for the principal, or specify ENCRYPTION = OFF when beginning the conversation."
I setup the certificate security like this...
use [master]; go
create master key encryption by password = 'masterhello1'; go 1- create certificate TrpCertServ1 with subject = 'TrpCertServer1', start_date = '06/01/2005', expiry_date = '06/01/2009' go 2- BACKUP CERTIFICATE TrpCertServ1 TO FILE = 'C:ServiceBrokerTrpCertServ1Pub.cer'; go 3-CREATE ENDPOINT SSB1 STATE = STARTED AS TCP ( LISTENER_PORT = 4026 ) FOR SERVICE_BROKER ( AUTHENTICATION = CERTIFICATE TrpCertServ1, ENCRYPTION = REQUIRED ); go 4-create login remconnlogin1 with password = 'remserver@1'; go 5-create user remconnuser1 from login remconnlogin1; go 6-grant connect on endpoint::ssb1 to remconnlogin1 go
7- Repeated the above steps for SQL Server 2
8-create certificate TrpCertServ2Pub authorization remconnuser1 from file = 'C:ServiceBrokerTrpCertServ2Pub.cer'; go
I know it has do something with certficates, I also tried setting encryption=off on Begin dialogue conversation but no luck , same error.
