Cannot Connect To Named Instance Of MSDE Through Enterprise Mananger...

Jan 2, 2006

Hi- I am hoping someone can help me or shed some light on an issue I am having.

I have recently moved to a dedicated server with MSDE installed on it. The server was installed as the default instance and I changed the password to the SA account. I then copied my entire SA database over to the new MSDE database and everything was working good so it seemed. I believe at some point during copying of the data, or after installalling an application the SA account begain to fail and the password was changed. I have no idea how this happened, and better yet when I tried to change it logged in as the administrator with OSQL it told me I did not have sysadmin rights (I tried multiple Windows NT Auth logins and still got this error trying to change the password).

So... I reinstalled MSDE and created a named instane. I then attached the mdf/ldf files to my named instance and am able to connect ok from a .NET application directly to my new MSDE Named Instance database. Sounds like everything is great right? Not really, I can't figure out how to connect through enterprise manager and its driving me CRAZY!

1. I CAN connect via any .NET app and a connection string

2. I CAN connect via the server with OSQL

3. I CAN connect via the web based enterprise manager (which is very limited and a freeware ASP app).

4. I CANNOT connect via enterprise manager. I have verified from the (SVRNETCN.EXE utility)  that the port is open and have tried connecting to MY_IPADDRESSNAMEDINSTANCE but no luck. 

One additional side note, when I wasn't using a named instance I had no problems connecting through enterprise manager to my default MSDE instance.

Any help would be grealy appriciated, this is driving me nuts!

-Chad

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Cannot Connect To Named Instance (2nd Instance) From Local SSMS

Jul 22, 2015

I've two instances(Default, Named[dynamicsFINANCE]) running on SQL server 2014. However, when I try to connect to named instance say (dynamicsFINANCE) using SQL authentication from local SSMS, I get below error message:

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)

I assigned a static port number to the named instance [dynamicsFINANCE] 1450. I also setup the firewall rule to allow access to Port 1450.

SQL 2012 :: Clustered SSAS Unable To Connect To Named Instance (instance Not Found On Server)

Mar 20, 2014

I have a 3 node cluster on which I have installed SSAS as it's own insntance. I have created this as a named instance and can connect to it by serverinstance if I'm on the server itself. However from my desktop I get the error saying instance was not found on server name.

I have defined an alternate port and setup firewall rules and can connect via server:port but not serverinstance. Prior to making this change SSAS was running on default port of 2383 and I could connect just by servername.

I have read many articles for previous versions saying that clustered SSAS will always use 2383 and that you must connect just using servername. However and this is were it gets strange. I have a 2 node UAT cluster with SSAS setup exactly the same way I've described above and I can connect from my desktop as serverinstance.

Should I be able to connect as serverinstances for a named clustered instance in 2012 ?

Connect To SQL Named Instance From Another Domain

Nov 22, 2006

Hi,

I have two domains setup with two way trust in place. SQL server 2005 is installed in domain A.

Is it possible to log in to SQL server using machine account of a machine in domain B?

I have been told that you cannot access SQL server from another domain using machine account. But I cannot find any resource or references about it.

If this isn't the right MSDN forum for this I apologize, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Cannot Connect To A Named Instance Of SQL 2000 Or 2005

Jan 20, 2006

Hi,
I am struggling connection to a named instance of SQL 2000 (SP4) from another machine but without any success. I get an error message saying that the server does not exist or access is denied.
 
The security configuration in this named instance is the same as the default instance (also 2000) and the remote machine can connect to it successfully.
 
I also configured the aliases in Client Network Utility in the client machine and set the server (machine) name and the port number used by the instance - but no help.
 
I use osql and Query Analyzer to connect to it, but I cannot connect by any of them.
 
Connecting locally, in the machine where the instance is installed, is successful.
 
The same behaviour appears when I try to connect to another instance on the machine which is 2005.
Something with the named instance is problematic.
 
Any help?

DB Engine :: Cannot Connect To Remote Named Instance Of Server

May 8, 2013

We have 3x instances of SQL Server 2012 installed on a single remote server - there's the default MSSQLSERVER instance, then INSTANCE01 and INSTANCE02. I can remotely connect to the default MSSQLSERVER instance through SSMS, but I cannot connect to either of the additional named instances (INSTANCE01 or INSTANCE02). 

For example, if I try to connect to "sql.domain.com", I can successfully access the default instance on the remote server. If I try to connect to "sql.domain.comINSTANCE01", I get an error stating

"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server".

However - if I try to connect to "sql.domain.comINSTANCE01, 49301" (where 49301 is the TCP Port for the TCP/IP Protocol for this SQL Server instance), I am able to successfully connect.

This leads me to think that there's a communication issue with the SQL Server Browser service running on the remote SQL Server and my workstation. 

The following items have been verified:

SQL Server Browser is running on the remote SQL ServerWindows Firewall has been disabled on the SQL ServerTCP Ports 1433, 1434, 1954, and 49301 have been opened up on the remote destination's firewallUDP Port 1434 has been opened up on the remote destination's firewall.

Cannot Connect To A Named Instance Of SQL Server From Compact Framework 2.0

Mar 14, 2008

I have two instances of SQL Server on the same PC:

Default instance: SQL Server 2000
Named instance with name €œMS2005€?: SQL Server 2005.
Also I have another SQL Server 2005 on another PC.

I created a .NET 2.0 Compact Framework application that connects to the database and executes simple query. This application can connect to any instance of the SQL Server when it is executed on the PC (not on the server). But the problem is that when I try to execute the application from the windows CE 5.0 device, the application can only connect to the default instance (SQL 2000 and 2005) and can not connect to the named instance (Name: MS2005).
Is it some kind of limitation of the SqlClient library for the compact framework?

Below are the code and connection strings:

string connectionString = €œServer=1.1.1.1;Database=DB1;Uid=sa;Pwd=€?
string connectionString = €œServer=1.1.1.1\MS2005;Database=DB1;Uid=sa;Pwd=€?

using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
connection.Open(); //This is the point where exception is generated

using (SqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand())
{
command.CommandText = "select count(*) from users";
object result = command.ExecuteScalar();

Console.WriteLine("Result: [{0}]", result);
}

connection.Close();
}


Thank you for your time and advice.

SQL 2012 :: Named Instance With Specific IP / Port And Connect Using Browser

Jul 31, 2014

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.

Unable To Connect Remotely After Upgrading A SQL Instance From Express To Enterprise

Mar 4, 2007

Problem: I upgraded a SQL Server Express instance to SQL Server Enterprise, but I'm unable to connect to the SQL server from any remote machine. Only local connections work -- and I've verified that Remote Connections are allowed in the SQL Surface Confg. utility.

Scenario: Server1 has an SQL Enterprise edition installed as a default installation. SharePoint Server 2007 was installed later, and during that install a SQL Express edition instance was installed which is part of the standard SharePoint install. That Express instance contains all the SharePoint content databases.

So Server1 has SQL instances:
Server1 <default install running Enterprise>
Server1OFFICESERVER <previously running SQL Express, now upgraded to Enterprise>

After upgrading Server1OFFICESERVER to Enterprise, everything seemed to work fine (i.e. SharePoint works fine). However when I try to connect remotely to Server1OFFICESERVER I can't. I've verified through the SQL Surface configuration tool that remote connections are allowed. I've rebooted the server as well. I've tried connecting remotely using various PCs and various applications (e.g. SQL Server Mgmt Studio, Visual Studio, etc.).

Any other ideas to try?

Migrating From SQL2K Named Instance To SQL2K5 Default Instance

Feb 19, 2007

Hi, I have a task in hand to migrate (upgrade) from SQL2K named instance to SQL2K5 default instance. There are many intranet applications touching current SQL2K. I would like to perform this upgrade such that I don't have to touch any application code - meaning I don't have to change the connectionstring to point to new Default instance. How can I achieve this?

So, in otherwords, here is what I want to achieve:

Current Server: SQL2K: SERVER_AINSTANCE_A (named instance)

Upgraded Server: SQL2K5: SERVERB (default instance)

If I have both default, I could achive this by setting up DNS alias after migration done so that any call for SERVER_A would point to SERVER_B. But in my case, I don't have SERVER_A, I have named instance. Is there any solution?

Regards,

Vipul

Named Instance Problems (Default Of 7.0/2000 Instance)

Oct 10, 2001

I am trying to set up a Named Instance of SQL 2000 on the same machine that has a default instance of SQL 7.0. The setup always completes and I am able to register the Named Instance of the SQL Server with which it was installed on. However, when I try to connect the users to the database, with both windows and SQL authentication, I receive a SQL server not found error. I have tried an alias setup as well as physically specifying the port number in settup up an ODBC connection.
Has anyone ran into similar problems?
Also, has anyone been able to successfully complete the process as mentioned above?

Migrating From Named Instance To Default Instance

Oct 30, 2007

I installed SQL Server 2005 recently on a cluster. I didn't go for the default instance and instead I named the instance option. Now I would like to migrate everything from the named instance to the default instance, which I haven't yet installed.

Is this an easy process? What about the logins and the maintenance plans and jobs? Is there anything else I need to be aware of?

Create A Named Instance On Top Of A Default Instance

Apr 13, 2007

Hi

I've never had to do this, but when I downloaded the Web Workflow Approvals Starter Kit, it requested that I install the database into a User Instance of .SQLEXPRESS.

Now the problem is, I've installed it onto a default instance, so I was wondering whether you can create a named instance on top of a default instance... and if so, how would you do that?

Cheers

Connection String For Default Instance Of SQL Server 2005, On A Box Also Running A Named Instance Of SQL Server 2000

Nov 15, 2007

The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server.
There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'.
 I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
However,  I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried:
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
 but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used:
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
but this doesn't work either.
 
Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated
Thanks...

Named Instance

Sep 4, 2003

I am running SQL2k SP3 with a default instance. I have recently added a second, named instance. When I try to connect to the named instance through Enterprise manager, it often times out. I never get a timeout accessing the default instance. Is there something I missed when setting up the second instance that is causing this access delay?

Thanks,

Removing Named Instance

Jan 9, 2007

We want to rename our instance and I understand there isn't a straightforward way to do so. I'm prepared to run SQLEXPR again to create the new named instance. However, I'm not clear on how to remove the other named instance once the data files have been moved over. I do not want the old service "SQL Server (<old_named_instance>)" to be running. I would also like the files "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1" removed along with the registry entries for this instance.

I tried running SQLEXPR with a /? option but that invoked the installer and did not give me the command line options. Is there a simple way to remove a specific named instance? Thanks.

Named Instance Problem

Oct 25, 2007



Hi everybody,

Here is my problem: I'm setting up a new computer with SQL 2005 to replace the old one with SQL 2000. What I want to do is to transfer all the data from the SQL Server 2000 to the 2005 then rename the 2005 from the temp name to the same name as the SQL 2000, so all the pages can connect to the 2005 instead of the 2000. The problem right now is that all of the pages that that are being published within the network is calling the SQL 2000 by it instance only eg: Data Source = MainSQLServer. With the SQL 2005 I can't just call the instance in the connection string, it requires that the computer's name and the instance be provided, eg: \computer_nameinstance_name. I can't go back and edit every single one of the pages being served. So I need to configure the SQL 2005 in a way that all of the existing pages can access it with the same connection string that is in use right now to connect to the SQL 2000.




Thanks for the help!

Creating A New Named Instance

Sep 7, 2007


As understand it, the only way to add another SQL Express 2005 named instance is to run SQLEXPR32.EXE again. However, when you to, right at the end, you get the following error message:

"An installation package for the product MS SQLK Server VSS Writer cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'SQLWriter.msi'"

So, I deleted all named instances, and the repeated the procedure and did not get this error and it installed fine. Obviously, I would not be able to delete all instances, but in this case it didn't matter.

So, here are my questions:

Question 1) Am I correct you must rerun SQLEXPR32.EXE to create a new named instance? (I think the answer is yes)

Question 2) Is there a way to rename an existing named instance? (I think the answer is no)

Question 3) The install/uninstall for SQLEXPR32.EXE is incredibly buggy. I have spend days trying to remove an named instance with no succes. Once your remove all named instances from Control Pannel, you stll have not removed SQL Express 2005. How do you remove it? We are considering other avenues because of the incredible problems with this product. Also, we inadvertantly installed SQL Express 2005 Advanced Services, when we meant to install SQL Express 2005, so we would like to uninstall Advance Serviuces and reinstall SQL Express 2005

Question 4) I am switching from the Outlook Express newsgroups to these groups. In the context of these groups, what is the difference betwee a Forum and a Newsgroup?

Thanks

The idea here is , to put some highly transactional databases on default instance ( and giving 5 CPU's to Default instance ) and on the Named Instance ( giving 3 CPU's for Named Instance) in CLUSTERING ENVIRONMENT.

MSDE And SQL2005 Named Instances On The Same Box

Mar 31, 2008

Hello,

this is my problem:

I installed SQL 2005 Standard Edition first, then MSDE plus its SP4. Both instances are named (MC05WXPPROSQLMC for 2005 and MC05WXPPROUCTO for MSDE). I inadvertently had not allowed the TCP/IP protocol for MSDE during the installation, so I did it manually later, through SVRNETCN.exe which also ships with SQL 2005.

Now:
I CAN connect to the MSDE instance with any SQL2005 tools through shared memory. But I CANNOT connect to it through TCP/IP. I guess that this is because wrong port binding for the SQL2005 instance, MSDE instance and SQL Server Browser, but I'm not sure.

My system is Windows XP Professional.

Please help.

Any hints welcomed,
Pavel
