I have just installed Microsoft SQL server 2005.
From Management Studio I try to connect to server using as Server Name:computerNameSQLEXPRESS.
Unfortunately I am not able to connect, instead of this I receive an error message:
Cannot connect to MARIAPORTSQLEXPRESS
Additional Information:
An error has occured 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. (providerQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server)
I get the following error when trying to create an Access Data Project:Login failed for user 'myname'. Reason: Not associated with a trustedSQL Server connection.I'm using a specific username and password. The sQL Server (actually, MSDE)is installed on \server1, and I'm working on my laptop.I get the error whenI try and click the dropdown for "Select the database on the server". Anyhints on what I've donw wrong?Thanks, in advance.
I am trying to set-up membership options on my MS Server 2003.
I also have a Computer running MS XP Professional sp2.
With the Advanced in stall of SQLExpress - trying to establish cojnectivity on the server fails when using the ASP.NET Configuration button.
This works fine on the XP box.
On the security tab the following message apppears:
There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.
The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Unable to connect to SQL Server database.
I've compared all settings in ssemee, surface manager etc. - all identical.
run aspnet_regsql on both machines. Added the SERVERASPNET account to SQLExpress and to the aspnetdb database.
I've enabled TCP,remote connections, named pipes etc. to no avail.
Any suggestion as to what the error could be would be most appreciated - been trying now for 3 days to get this working without any success.
II use the mirroring wizard to config all these three servers(windows authorization is used), the error logs in primary server and mirror server are showed as below a) On primary server: Error: 1474, Severity: 16, State: 1 Database mirroring connection error 4 'An error occurred while receiving data: '10054(An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.)'.' for 'TCP://mymirror.mydomain:5022' b) On mirror server: Database Mirroring login attempt by user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON.' failed with error: 'Connection handshake failed. The login 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON' does not have CONNECT permission on the endpoint. State 84.'.
It states I do NOT have permission on this endpoint, but actually, I grant the permission to the endpoint on both primary and mirror server using command GRANT CONNECT ON ENDPOINT::Mirroring TO [mydomainmyuser]; Also, I followed the article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189127.aspx ,no firewall issue, the endpoint is created and started by checking sys.database_mirroring_endpoints Hope someone can help me resolve this issue... Thank you very much..
and it fails: Additional information: Login failed for user 'eclipz'. I have the user id created under the "security tab" in SQL Server Management Studio express with the correct DB.
Next I tried Database="Trusted_Connection=yes............."
It fails again.
But If I try connecting to the Northwind DB created under MSDE 2000 using the "sa" account it logins ok !!!!!!
I have a C# application that connects to a SQL Server Express 2005 instance. One of the testers here shuts his machine down every night and first thing in the morning when he fires up the application it fails to connect. If he tries to open it again right after that it connects. What would the failed attempt do that would fix the instance?
We are running SQL 2005 Standard on Windows 2000 Server Standard. We are trying to connect via SSMS with the Object Explorer to the server and it is failing with an error message stating:
"An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.
Using profiler, I tracked down that it is a call to xp_instance_regread. This is something that SSMS is issuing - not me.
We've found in the past that rebooting the server fixes the problem. But it keeps cropping up. The only thing running on this server is SQL 2005 - so if something is monkeying with the registry - it's got to be SQL Server itself.
Querying works just fine - we can use the editor to perform queries without any issue - it's just explorer that goes kaboom.
We have SP2a installed on the server and on most (if not all) of the clients.
This is getting frustrating because it's a production server and we're having to reboot this to fix it.
I'm attempting to connect to a database file through visual studio 2013 Ultimate. The .mdf file is located on my local drive inside the App_Data folder of the project. However when I try to connect to the file it fails and throws an error message (see below).
“The attempt to attach to the database failed with the following information: 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: 50 - Local Database Runtime error occurred. The specified LocalDB instance does not exist.”
In my string below, my forum setup up file, setup.asp , when run delivers an error that it is unable to connect to the database. Error: 800004005
I am running this from within IIS 5.0 aon a Windows 2000 Server, by right clicking the file in IIS and choosing "browse" I am trying to set this up so user IUSR_SERVER_NAME can "read and Write" to the database or instance I have created called rpggamerpro. The authentication in the SSSAC is set to use both Windows and SQL Authentication for the "master". I have set permissions on the folder which contains the SQL 2005 Express installation and database for IUSR_SERVER_NAME to read/write. I have created a IUSR_SERVER_NAME user in the Security/User directory for the database or instance "rpggamerpro" and gave the user read/write permissions there. So I am still at a loss as to what permissions, strings, settings, configuration or whatever the heck else needs to be done in order to get this thing to work. Please anyone willing to help a realative new commer to the SQL and DB world would be greatly appreciated.

We recently had a problem with DB Mail. SQL jobs that sends an email succeeded but the email in the job fail to sent. There was a problem with the email server. The error is included. We fixed the problem with the email server. How can I get an alert when a DB Mail email fails send?

I have two calls to stored procedures that in an SSIS package fails silently. They are simply not executed in production but works fine in test, nothing happens and the sql server agent reports that everything has gone just fine.
In test they have 1 server with db A and B. No issue here.
In prod they have 2 servers with db A and B. On server 1 sql server agent executes a job that includes an SSIS package that on server 2 runs a couple of sp's. That user is db owner on server 2 db B and yet nothing happens. The sp's are not executed.
If I in prod run the job manually then it works, but not when run with the sql server agent account that as said is even db owner.
I currently have a SQL Server cluster setup with a Primary DB Server SERVER1 and the Standby server SERVER2. SERVER1 has been failing more than normal is the past few weeks and its takes upto 5 mins for SERVER2 realize that SERVER1 is down. I am looking for a better way to implement a backup server on production with minimum downtime. Please adivse..
I run setup using GUI. It upgrades all components of the existing installation w/out any problems except the last component. That is, it proceeds with the installation of SQL Server Database Serices and at the end fails to shut down the SQL Server and aborts the installation reporting the following:
"Service 'Computer_NameSQLEXPRESS' could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to stop system services. The error code is (16386)".
I am running Windows XP SP2 with both .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.0 installed on it. I am logged in as a system administrator.
The most puzzling to me things are:
- the setup starts AND STOPS w/out any problems SQL Server Reporting Services and SQL Server VSS Writer (thus finding enough privileges for both).
- the setup starts the SQL Server w/out any problems (thus it finds enough privileges to START A SYSTEM SERVICE) and then fails as described above 'lucking privileges".
During installation before failing the setup displays following:
"Run as Normal User. RANU instance Shutdwon in progress: MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS". The "normal user" puzzles me too, unless the SQL Server itself is meant here.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I can provide the installation log file as well.

I cant figure out why this is happening.. its a fresh 2003 x64 R2 sp2 server, during the installation of the SQL Server Database Services the server hangs and displays Setting File Security. I let the install run for over 45 mins and it still hangs... the log file is useless.. i cant find any clues as to why ...
I have the following select that is designed to compare values on parallel servers.SELECT TA1.EPS, TA1.Sales, TA1.Income, TA1.EarningsReportDate,TA2.EPS, TA2.Sales, TA2.Income, TA2.EarningsReportDate FROM TradeAnalysis.dbo.SalesIncome_Quarterly AS TA1 FULL OUTER JOIN L_TA_MIRROR.TradeAnalysis.dbo.SalesIncome_Quarterl y AS TA2 ON ((TA1.OSID = TA2.OSID) AND (TA1.QtrYear = TA2.QtrYear) AND (TA1.QuarterNo = TA2.QuarterNo)) WHERE(BINARY_CHECKSUM(TA1.EPS, TA1.Sales, TA1.Income, TA1.EarningsReportDate) <> BINARY_CHECKSUM(TA2.EPS, TA2.Sales, TA2.Income, TA2.EarningsReportDate))Disregard the full outer join, it is necessary in the full select, I have just pared it down to show here and for testing. A standard join will also have the same result.
The trouble is that the comparison (the BINARY_CHECKSUM) is failing on the EarningsReportDate column, which is defined on BOTH servers in DUPLICATE databases as a smalldatetime.
The data is actually the same in both rows of each table (as is all the other data being compared). What I am seeing is that the select returns milliseconds on the LINKED server (the L_TA_MIRROR reference), but not on the local database?
for example, Local server data returned in above select is 2000-01-28 00:00:00 Linked server data returned in above select is 2000-01-28 00:00:00.000
Wassup with THAT? If I remove the date from the select/comparison, it says everything matches, so I am pretty sure this is the culprit that is causing the BINARY_CHECKSUM comparison to fail.
Is there some setting that I need to put on the Linked Server reference that says "treat this as the smalldatetime data type it IS, dammit!"????
I can get by the issue if I replace the date reference in the linked server part of the select with CAST(TA2.EarningsReportDate AS smalldatetime) but why do I have to do this?
Yes, I am SURE both servers have the column in question defined as a smalldatetime, as running the same select on either server causes the same failure, but only when referencing the LINKED server column.
I trying to FTP Files about 37 files each 3 GB. The FTP is just stuck. It fails half way through. I use IIS 4.0 in Clustered Network and MSSQL 7.0. IIS 4.0 does not support transfer of files more than 4 GB.Is there any other tools that I can use to FTP the dump files. Does anyone have any ideas.

Hi, I am having a problem connecting my .net applications from the application server to the database server. When I run the application from my windows xp (sp2) box it works fine. When I try to connect via SQL Management Studio to the database server from the application server I get the same error. Here is the error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: 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) Here is the Environment: App Server: Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition Inside Company's Firewall/ Network Database Server: Windows Server 2000 Advanced Edition SQL Server 2000 SP4 Remote Connections to the Server is checked Enable Protocols: Named Pipes & TCP/IP TCP/IP Port: 1402 (I don't know why it isn't the default of 1433) The db server is sitting out side the Company's firewall (don't ask me why). I can access it fine from inside the firewall on my XP box but not from windows server 2003. There is a web server outside the our network that also connects to the db server with no problem and that is running Windows Server 2003 Web Edition. I can ping the db server from the app server using the IP address. I tried using the IP address and the port 1402 in my connection string but that didn't work from any machine (XP and Server). I imagine the issue is somehow related to the company's firewall but why would it only block Windows Server 2003 and not XP? What do I tell the network admin to change? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Oran

Can anyone please let me the reason for it & how to solve this problem
I have a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP1 with a couple of SQL Server 2000 instances on it and two SQL Server 2005 instances on it.
I tried to install SQL Server 2005 SP1, but kept getting failures. I saw that SP2 fixed some of the issues with installation issues that SP1 had. So, I tried to install it. Some of the smaller components install successfully (VSS Writer, Backward Compatibility, SQLXML4, MSXML 6.0 Parser, Native Client, Support Files), but all of the base services fail to install (Database services, Reporting Services failed for two different instances).
I've downloaded the SP2 from the Microsoft site local to that server and install from there. I don't have space problems on the drives in question.
In the summary log that's located at C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGHotfix, I see:
Error Number : 29513 Error Description : MSP Error: 29513 SQL Server Setup Failed to compile the Managed Object Format (MOF) file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Sharedsqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof. To proceed, see "Troubleshooting an Installation of SQL Server 2005" or "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files" in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help documentation.
I've searched through many links, one suggested that the WMI could be potentially corrupt. So, I also downloaded with WMIDiag utility and ran it. So, I have a log from that as well. It did have 8 errors in it. But, the information in the report hasn't really helped me determine how to fix those errors.
While I was looking around, I found another log file located at C:WINNTsystem32wbemLogs called the mofcomp.log. As my error looks like a compile error issue, I looked in that log file and found the following at the times when the install was failing:
(Thu Feb 22 16:29:49 2007.1910312) : Parsing MOF file: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Sharedsqlmgmprovider.mof (Thu Feb 22 16:29:49 2007.1910625) : Finished compiling file:C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Sharedsqlmgmprovider.mof (Thu Feb 22 16:34:25 2007.2186343) : Parsing MOF file: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Sharedsqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof (Thu Feb 22 16:34:25 2007.2186343) : (1): error SYNTAX 0X8004401e: This is not a valid MOF file
This makes me wonder if there is an invalid MOF file as part of SP2?
Also, when I go into Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, I can no longer look at any of my maintenance plans. All of them throw an error which says:
Error loading 'Daily Backup' : Unable to cast COM object of type 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.ApplicationClass' to interface type 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.IDTSApplication90'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{7591CC39-276A-4973-97C7-4EFEA5A5788F}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE))..
Does anyone have any insight to this error: "Duplicate column name resolution could not be done because the ordinal specified a column of a different name"
I googled it and got one result with no resolution. I get this error from SQL Server when a task in my dts package fails. My dts package is attempting to update records whose fields have changed based on a specified criteria.
The specific task that fails is a transform data task and contains the following sql query: select * from tableNew new, tableOld old where new.col1 = old.col1 and new.col2 <> old.col2 and old.col3 = new.col3
I then have a transformation to update col1, col2, col3.
When I try to use the "Data Source Configuration Wizard" (Menu: DataAdd New Data Source...) and I try to add a new Connection to the "Northwind.sdf" database using Microsoft SQL Server Mobile Edition it fails with
"Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed."
What's really strange about this is that if I click the Test Connection" button it states "Test Connection Succeeded."
I've looked everywhere and I see that other have had the same problem but no one seem to know the solution.

I have a legacy visual basic application that connects to a newly installed SQL Server 2005. On occasion (about once or twice a day) I will receive several errors in a row about not being able to open a connection to the database.
Since I am catching any errors generated I post the number and description of the Err object to the screen in a message box for notice to the user. The error is 0 and the description is blank. There are no corresponding events in Window Event Log or in the SQL Server Logs other than standard informational messages about the regular operation of the server.
I am connecting to a SQL Server 2k5 Workgroup Edition, with ODBC, using named pipes. The connection works at all other times, so I know I am set up correctly. The program loops thru the same processing section of code so there is no chance special operations being done on the database could hose the connection.

The "Setup Progress" dialog box displays a "Setup failed." error beside "SQL Native Client" and "SQL Server Database Services" and then closes generating the "Send Error Report" dialog box. A log file is generated but can't find anything meaningful regarding the problem.
I have the following problem: I can't connect with the Management Studio Express to my remote server, which is located in the internet. All firewalls are shutdowned and I can connect to the server via telnet and get an error in the event log on the server when I type some random characters.
The connection to another remote server in my LAN does not fail. Only TCP/IP and shared memory is activated.
Servername: mydomain.deSQLEXPRESS or 217.X.X.XSQLEXPRESS Username: sa Password: [password]
I get the following error message:
'Es kann keine Verbindung zum Server hergestellt werden.
Additional information: Fehler beim Herstellen einer Verbindung mit dem Server. [...] error: 26'
Translation:
'No connection could be established.
Additional information: Error during connection establishment to the server. The reason for the problem could be, that no remote connections are allowed in the default configuration. Error 26'
Do you need more information or do you have any idea about the reason causing the problems? A local connection via remote desktop and the management studio works perfectly.
Can I connect from a SQL Server 2005 database to a SQL Server 2000 database, without establishing a linked server connection.
I need to fire a SELECT query on a SQL Server 2000 database, but don't want to add it as a linked server. Is there any way I can do this or its not possible??
I'm about googled out on this one. I did find one post that looked almost like mine but the thread was never finished. I'm sure this problem has been solved and I'm just having trouble finding it. Can someone help me?
I'm running sql server 2000 on a small workgroup network of winxp machines.
If sql server machine is the same as webserver machine, my asp.net app works. If sql server and webserver are different, the app fails because of sql server login failure.
I am able to explore the database remotely through server explorer in VStudio2003. However, when I try to access the database with the asp.net application, the login fails. I have tried several connection strings. Authentication on the server is 'mixed', the server runs in the system account, and the password for sa is "" (blank password).
When "machinename" is the same as the machine on which the app is running. both of those connection strings work, and the application runs correctly.
When "machinename" is different (that is, sql server on a different machine from the webserver), depending on the connection string I get either "Login failed for user 'sa'." or "Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."
Obviously VStudio is using some mechanism to add the remote server to it's list of servers and then to allow me manually to explore the databases on that server. Why am I too stoopid to figure it out?
