I am new to SQL server 2005 and Windows Vista. I installed SQL server 2005 and SQL Server 2005 SP2. It seems that I get a "cannot connect to server" problem. I see the "Connect to server" popup window when hit the "Connect Object explorer" under the file menu or "Connect database Engine" under the Object explorer pane. Trying to see a Server name I recognized there was nothing there. Tried "browse for more" but It seems that no servers can be found at all.
I logged into Windows Vista with my account (with administrator rights, but not the Main Administrator account itself). I also tried SQL Server 2005 User Provisioning Tool for Vista, but it cannot find no instances in the "Available Privilegies" window.
I read a lot on forums on the net, but what is the best solution to use for this situation? Maybe I shall log on with the Main Admin Account and install again? Or is there better ways? Please can someone give me the best practices for this topic?
I have a problem that unble to connect the SQL Server2005 on Vista OS. After searching solution around but still not able to find the solution for me problem. The Error was Error 26, provider:SQL network interfaces, error:26 - error locating server/instance specified
Is any1 facing the problem on this? Any solution for this case?
I've installed Windows Vista 64 bit on my pc (I had XP Pro). Also I've installed the management studio of SQL Server 2005 developer edition which I've uses also on my XP machine.
I've a online server at "myserver.myprovider.com". With C:WindowsSystem32cliconfg.exe a made a TCP/IP alias to with the name "MySql". In XP I then can connect in Sql management studio to "MySql" and everyting works perfect (I also use some other programs which needs the cliconfg alias.
After I installed Vista, I take the same steps (I've done this over 30 times, but in XP). When I then want to connect to "MySql" in management studio, I get this error: (translated from dutch) "Cannot connect to MySql. Maybe this error is caused by the fact that the SQL Server don't allow external connections. Error: 53.
Hi, Sorry if this is the wrong forum. I'm trying to connect to a remote server (on shared hosting) with Management Studio Express. I tried using it on Vista and it connects to the server and database perfectly. However, on Vista it gives the following error everytime: TITLE: Connect to Server------------------------------ Cannot connect to sgc.gbdns.net. ------------------------------ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. 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: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53) For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=53&LinkId=20476 ------------------------------BUTTONS: OK------------------------------
However, the host obviously has SQL server to allow remote connections as I'm able to connect from XP. Both the XP and Vista PCs are running Avast free edition (the same builds) and both are running Windows firewall with management studio allowed through. Can anyone help?
Hello I use SQL 2005 - SQL Server Management Studio to connect to my hosting SQL Server to manage my database , its about 1 month which I have installed Vista and SQL 2005 its working fine in local , but today I just wanted to connect to my remote server and I got this error :
Cannot connect to <My server IP Address>
I thought its a server problem , but its not. I tested it by connecting using same SQL 2005 on a windows xp system , the problem is only in vista, by the way its SQL 2005 SP2
I'm running SQL Express on Server 2003 SP1 (workstation - although, I did dcpromo promote and demote prior to installing SQL Express).
I'm trying to connect from SQL Studio Express on Vista.
TCP and Named Pipes are selected in Surface Area Config; sp_config remote, access..., 1 was run (per KB); ports 1433 & 1434 are open (I think 435 also was opened when I ran the KB instructions); Mixed mode is selected, user is set for SQL Auth, password is correct; all permissions are granted.
I found an article online which stated that mixed versions of MDAC can lead to the problem. The server has 2.82.1830 and the client has 6.0.5600.16834. Could this be the problem? If so, how to solve?
Can't connect to local server instance MSSQLSERVER in SQL Server Management Studio (SQL2005 sp2/Vista).
SQL Server Configuration Manager reports SQL Server2005 services: SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) Running. This would indicate the name of the SQL server is "MSSQLSERVER" correct? I chose "default" instance during the install and that is the name it gave itself.
I tried connecting to the server using the following for the Server Name: MSSQLSERVER and .MSSQLSERVER neither works.
The only thing that works for my installation is just plain "." (no quotes) and nothing else. Can this be correct because I can't find any reference to this. Thanks.
I just upgraded from Windows XP Pro to Windows Vista Bussiness and tried to reinstall SQL Server 2005 Developers Edition. After the installation i downloaded (using microsoft windows update) and installed all the service packs for sql and vista available.
My problem is when i open sql server management studio and try to connect to my default instance using windows authentication and database engine, an 18456 error occurs.
I enabled all the protocols and all the ports I disabled windows firewall and antivirus (eset nod32) I installed all service packs available I have also installed Visual Studio 2005 without installing sqlexpress
But nothing happens!
Please i am very desperate, any information will be gratefully accepted.
This is my installation Information

I am trying to connect to a SQLExpress installed on Vista through the network. I did enable all protocolls and in the Surface Area Configuration I activated Remote Connections ("using both TCP/IP and named pipes"). But still I get the following error:
"An error has occured while establishing a connection to the serveR. When connection to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that uder the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interface, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server)"
Hi all. I have a 64 bit Windows 2003 cluster with 4 named instances of SQL Server 2005.
Im unable to connect via ODBC or from applications from Windows Vista to the named instances. There are no problem connecting to default intances.
The ODBC give me a SQL State 08001 error. In the bottom of the error it talks about not allowing remote connections, but the instances allows both TCPIP and named pipes.
The SQL 2005 cluster are running SP2 and Vista have Native Client upgraded to SP2.
I am using Sql server 2005 on our local network. I have an vpn open to an other network. Before installing Vista SP1, I could simple connect to the db (sql server management studio, windows authentication).
After installing Vista SP1, I can connect to sql server when the vpn is closed. But when the vpn is open, I get the following message:
Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

------------------------------ What's blocking my remote connection to SQL 2005 on Windows 2003? I am using Vista Ulttima and the above message comes up after I clicked connect. However I have no problem to connect to same database from same location using XP. Can someone help?
We have a problem to connect to a specific database on our local network from a specific Vista machine. Several other XP and Vista machines are able to connect to the database without any problem. However, with the two latest Vista machines we received, it is impossible to connect to the database. In Microsoft SQL server Management studio express, we have the error 26 "error locating server/instance specified". We are sure the server name we entered is correct. We suppose the server is correctly configured as we are able to connect from other computers. From the machines that are not able to connect to the database, we can connect without problem to other databases. We also see the server, where the database is, on the network servers list in Microsoft SQL server Management studio. . The version of the components are: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.3042.00 Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.0.6000.16386 (vista_rtm.061101-2205) Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 6.0 Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0.6000.16575 Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.312 Operating System 6.0.6000 We verified we have the same version of components on the Vista machine from which the connection is successful. The network database has the version 8.0. We are usinng sql server authentification method. We try to specify the IP address instead of the server name in the connection string. We also tried to specify the port. We also tried to disable the firewall. Unfortunatetly, we are not able to connect to this database. Any suggestion ?
Database server: - Remote machine running SQL 2005 Standard as a named instance - Named pipes and TCP are enabled for remote connections - SQLBrowser service is running - Listening on default named pipe (\servernamepipeMSSQL$instancenamesqlquery)
Client: - Vista Business machine - Not in same domain as server, but on the same network (via Cisco VPN) - SQL 2005 Express is installed (for use with local databases) - Windows Firewall enabled - Running Symantec Antivirus, Corporate Edition
Connectivity: - I CAN connect to SQL 2005 databases on the remote server using "nperverinstancename" - I CAN connect to SQL 2005 databases on the remote server using Excel 2007
The problem is that I cannot successfully create an ODBC datasource using the "ODBC Data Source Administrator" application. I'm using the "SQL Server" driver and trying to create a System DSN. I'm also running the tool with elevated permissions.
- When I try to use "servernameinstancename" as the server and TCP as the connection type, I get this error:
Connection failed: SQL Server Error: 18452; "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
- When I try to use "npervernameinstancename" as the server and Named Pipes, I get this error:
Connection failed: SQLState: '01000'; SQL Server Error: 1326; [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen(Connect()). Connection failed: SQLState: '08000'; SQL Server Error: 17; [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Help! I've really been beating my head against the wall on this one. It all works just fine with a Windows XP client machine.
Hey. I've a windows vista machine which can't connect to SQL 2005 box. Other machines which are lower than vista work fine. Also, vista box can connect to other SQL 2005 instances but can't connect to only one instance. But, I can connect to the instance fine from my XP box. Also, it's not a permissions issue. This user is an SA and can connect form some other machine. SQL 2005 box is at 2047 version right now. And, the user is able to connect to some other boxes which are also at 2047. Please help. Thank you
I'm having a problem connecting with a Java application but I CAN connect using my .Net application - the user name and password are the same for both (using the same database on SQL Server Express 2005).
The error I get is: "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot open database "CORNERS" requested by the login. The login failed." An interesing note - I get the same message if the database is not running.
SQL Server Express 2005 is installed in mixed mode.
Here is my connection string in the .Net appplication: <add key="connectString" value="Server=(local);UID=sa;PWD=myPasswd;Database=CORNERS" />.
I am trying to install SQL Server Express - (the non ADV version) and get the following error.
"An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Server Native Client cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'sqlncli_x64.msi'".
I have 64 bit Vista Ultimate running on an HP dv9000.
I am using the download from the bottom of the download page for SSX where it says 64 bit version.
Prior to this I got the. "64-bit ASP.net is registered. Required 32-bit ASP.NET to install Microsoft Reporting services 2005(32-bit)." messagd during the pre-install scan. From what I gather in the posts, the reporting issue is different from my installation package problem.
I have been trying to prove a point to friends about how far you can go with SSX but am having no luck installing it. This whole process took 1 hour in XP but I've been stymied for 2 days.
I would appreciate being pointed at the right downloads for what seems to be a simple install.
Hi all Pros I am transfering from windows2003 server and MS SQL 2000 to Windows Vista and SQL Express ...... Before I allways created a database manually and I could allways use as many databases I needed so in that way I could have several versions of a database for a certain software during development. Can you use separeted databasenames when developing in SQL Express? I am using a dotnetnuke installation file and inside the project there is a file /App_Data/Database.mdf should this file be renamed everytime I make a new testinstallation or setting up a separate dev environment /Johan

I am having problems installing the SQL Server Compact Server Tools on my Vista laptop to allow me to connect my Mobile Device running SQL Server Compact directly to my SQL Server 2005 database through IIS.
I have done this successfully with an XP machine so I'm not sure if it is Vista problem or not.
I have installed SQL Server 2005 SP2. When I try to install the replication server tools (Sqlce30setupen.msi), in "System Configuration Check" window I get a failure on "SQL Server requirement" that says: "You must first install the Replication Components for SQL Server 2000 SP 3a or higher or the SQL Server 2005 Replication Components" and the client components are full instaled in my computer.
Hello, I am trying to install SQL Server Enterprise 2005 on Windows Vista Enterprise. The installation has finished "successfully", but when I am trying to open the MS SQL manager, I see that the manager has not installed.
Hi all, I'm a part time Web Developer and have recently upgraded to Vista Ultimate. I used to run SQL Server 2000 on XP without a hitch. Obviously I have had to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 to get it to run on Vista, I see Microsoft provide the free SQL Server Express, I tried that but I could not get it to connect to any databases out on the internet. (is this correct?)
So I downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Evaluation, installed then ran the Service Pack over the top. Now my problem is that I dont seem to have any access to anything that looks like a Management console for me to connect to any datatbases.
In my Start/All Programs list I have Microsoft Server 2005 but it only has a shortcut to Configuration tools, nothing else!
Even in Express there was a shortcut to some sort of interface that allowed me to setup DB's etc, but I can't find it in this version.
I am used to using Enterprise Manager from 2000 could someone please advise me on what I need to run or if I have missed installing something or have downloaded the incorrect version or something!
I have 2 networked PC's both running vista ultimate
1st is Laptop and is running its own SQL Server at laptoplaptopSQL 2nd is Desktop and is running its own SQL Server at desktopdesktopSQL
Now both machines have seperate windows login accounts.
When I go SQL Server management studio I go to browse and each machine can see the other machines SQL Server, but when I go to login I get SQL Login falied for users" The user is not associaed with a trusted SQL server connection".
So I then go to logins new login and try to add my other pc's user account. The problem I see is that when I go to search and then location it only shows its own PC's location and not the location of my other networked pc? So if I am on Desktop and in my theory want to add laptopuser to the desktop SQL Server logins I get:
"create failed for login laptopuser
An exception occurred while executing Transact SQL statement laptopuser is not a valid windows NT name. give the complete name
I have visual studio 2008 sql express, vista ultimate is on my computer however I have not installed sql express on my computer I wish to install sql standard 2005 sp1 I have read microsoft's article 934164 before installing sql standard I have a couple of questions installing sql server standard edition see sql-articles.com -installing sql 2005
sql instances screen- can I choose default installation? sql services screen do I need to choose domain name(I am a small business, I do not own a server, I wish to use a third party to use sql reporting services . I have not registered my domain name
Windows authentication- I wish to use mixed mode. I wish to configure user account later by stopping sql services and then installing sql sp2 (after windows authentication screen) described in microsoft article 934164 do I need to configure the server?(next screen after windows authentication) I want to avoid a system reboot...... Is there anyway that I can make sure all the parts are installed on sql server and sql sp2? Is it adviseable to configure my administrative account at the end of sql sp2? How do this work? I just want to be prepared...... Thank you
We are currently having a problem with a client running Vista business for a mobile application that uses SQLCE RDA with the Web Synchronization on IIS7.
I have run through the Configure Web Synchronization Wizard and it doesn't create a virtual directory. I manually create the virtual dir and point it to the new folder the Configure Web Synchronization Wizard created.
Browsing to the url "http://localhost/sqlce/sqlcesa30.dll" gives a valid test string.

NativeError = 29022
numericErrorParameters = {9,0,0}
Source = "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition"
A very similar error.
From this it seems that both SQLCE 2 and 3 seem to want MDAC 2.8+ drivers. The drivers installed with Vista for SQL Native client seem to be versioned 6.0.* and the required versioning would seem to need to be in line with MDAC 2.8.
Are there installable drivers to bump the versioning of SQLNCLI or SQLOLEDB upto MDAC 2.8+ levels?
Or is there an alternative that will make it possible to run SQLCE RDA apps with Vista as the SQLCE server (i.e. sqlcesa30.dll)?
I want to install Sql server 2005 or Express on my Machine.I have Vista Ultimate 64 Bit operating System. Does Sql Server 2005 or Express will work with my vista!?I hear, people using Vista and sql express, and 2005. But I still don't know if its going to work.

Hello everyone and thanks in advance for any help. After converting to Vista Ultimate I confess I haven't been able to get sql running right period. The sp just released doesn't update the actual msqlserver file. Any help would be appreciated. I also have VS 2005 installed. I would like this to work as I am learning VB and lots of new stuff about web design. Again, thanks in advance for any help...
I am having real problems connecting to SQL Server (Express) 2005 when running Visual Studio 2005. I keep getting the following error: (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified). I have checked through serveral forums and have done the following to no avail.
SQLBrowser server is running. In Surface area config, remote & Local connections are enabled for TCPIP/and named pipes. To rule out firewall issues I turned off my firewall (Norton 360) and windows defender - I checked that the windows firewall was off too. Both VS05 and SQL Server Management studio are both run using admin priviledges. Visual Studio and SQL Server are on the same laptop. I can connect to SQL Server Express via VS05 Server Explorer, I only get this error while running my ASP.Net program. My connection string is as follows: <add key="Main.OracleConnectionString" value="data source=FENASD;user id=fenas;password=xxxx;persist security info=false;"/> I have used to logon details to confirm that I can log into the DB using the Management Studio. Any ideas for what else I can try??
I have an opportunity to install Vista on my machine and I'm wondering which version I should install if I plan on doing development on SQL Server 2005 and VS 2005.
Should I install Vista x64 or x86? Is there a significant performance increase when running x64 (I have an Intel E6400 and 2 GB RAM).
