Hi,
I have a VS2005 application that I run with a SQL server 2003 database.
In order to make the application distributable, I'm trying to get it to run with SQLExpress.
I've installed SQLExpress on a spare machine and changed the connection string in my application to use SQLExpress c:databasesmydatabase.mdf (and the database is obviously in that location!). This works fine on the spare machine.
However the problem is getting the application to run on another machine but using the same database. I note that SQLExpress won't let me put the database on a networked drive.
On another machine I've also installed SQLExpress, I've enabled the tcpip stuff and the browser but to be honest don't really know what I'm doing!
How do I set up additional machines to use the database on the original PC? What do I put in my connection string? If I leave it as it is won't it look for the database on it's own local disk?
Any pointers much appreciated!

I am trying to access a SQLExpress database on another computer on my LAN. Using Windows Authentication. I don't really want to go to Mixed Mode authentication as I understand it involves a registry tweak and creating a new user. I am a novice at this.
Getting the following error on running the connection code below:
SQLException was unhandled "Login failed for user 'D37YKC1SGuest'."
No doubt it is a security problem but I am not sure how to get around it. Any help appreciated.
Connection code:
Dim conn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection
conn.ConnectionString = "Server=D37YKC1SSQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True;Database=VBNMDATA"
conn.Open()
Tried the following which is my Windows logon on the other computer (blank password) but same error:
conn.ConnectionString = "Server=D37YKC1SSQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True;Database=VBNMDATA; User Id=Geoff; Password="
I have TCP/IP enabled in SQL Express and the firewall is off. I can see the server on the other computer with this code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
' Retrieve the enumerator instance and then the data.
Dim instance As SqlDataSourceEnumerator = _
SqlDataSourceEnumerator.Instance
Dim table As System.Data.DataTable = instance.GetDataSources()
' Display the contents of the table.
DisplayData(table)
End Sub
Private Sub DisplayData(ByVal table As DataTable)
For Each row As DataRow In table.Rows
For Each col As DataColumn In table.Columns
MessageBox.Show(col.ColumnName.ToString & " " & row(col).ToString)
Next
Next
End Sub

We have 10+ MSDE 2000 installations on the same network. Each install has a named instance and the
machines connect to eachother via VB application. We have a couple SQL 2000 Standard boxes and a SQL 2005
box all running on the same network with no issues. The problem we have recently run into is with a SQL
Express box. When the box is on the network OSQL stops finding the MSDE 2000 named instances on the
network and only the SQL Express named instance appears in the list. The second the SQL Express box is removed
from the network the named instances are visible. I monitored the UDP traffic and suspect there is an issue with the response from SQL Express to OSQL. Can't find any issues for this problem only report I found is if MSDE and Express are on the same machine.
SQL Express Response
.Q.ServerName;DDK7P4D1;InstanceName;SQLEXPRESS;IsClustered;No;Version;9.00.1399.06;;
MSDE Response

Any ideas?

Hi All,
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?
Thanks!

I'm using the methods of the Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo namespace within a .NET application to create a backup file from a SQLEXPRESS database. I can then restore the database from that backup device using methods in the same namespace. Here is a snippet from the restore code:
srv = New Server("MYPCSQLEXPRESS")
db = srv.Databases("washmaster")
Dim bdi As New BackupDeviceItem(BackupFileName, DeviceType.File)
Dim recoverymod As RecoveryModel
recoverymod = db.DatabaseOptions.RecoveryModel
rs.NoRecovery = False
rs.Devices.Add(bdi)
rs.Database = "washmaster"
rs.ReplaceDatabase = True
srv.KillAllProcesses("washmaster")
rs.SqlRestore(srv)
This works great as long as I used one of the backup files that I created directly on the disk. However, my application has a utility that allows the user to copy the backup files onto another drive, such as a CD or a thumb drive and when I try to restore from the copy of the backup, I get the following exception:
....Cannot open backup device..[filename]...Operating system error 5(Access is denied.)
The reason I get this error is that the "NETWORK SERVICE" account was removed from the file permissions when the file was copied.
How can I copy a backup to another drive and preserve the "NETWORK SERVICE" account? If I can't do that, is it wise to try to add the account back to the file before using it to restore or is there a better way?
Thanks,
SJonesy

I open II services.
From this point I right click on information services and clicked "connect to computer" and located mine. When I hit "ok", I got "This computer is not running Internet Information Services Ver 4 or higher".
IIS6 is starting, it just won't connect to local computer.
Previously someone said to post the event logs. I can't find them. Where are they??

Please bare with me as I do not have much knowledge in this area with MSSQL.
I have installed MSSQL 2000 Developer and I have setup a database which I am able to connect to and work fine with from the actual server MSSQL is installed on.
The problem comes in when i try to connect to that same database from a different remote server. It will not connect to the DB from this remote server but I know all the connection information is correct so its something on the MSSQL DB server causing this and not on this remote server.
Someone I know has had this problem and has fixed it but they wont tell me how. All I know is they said something about manually opening the ports on the MSSQL server and he also said when you set it to dynamicly determine the port that MSSQL is listening on it errored out. however if you set it staticly to 1433 it worked fine.
Ive also installed SP4 in attempt to fix this but no luck with that either. And I can also get the same exact remote server to connect to completely different DB server without issues.
If anyone can please help walk me through this I would be greatly appreciate and I am also willing to pay some money if it will make my life easier.

Hello all,
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).
This can't be that difficult! Any ideas?
Thank you!
Brad

whenever i try and choose the database i wish to work with like below. I end up with an error message about the user not being associated with a trusted sql server connection
cnStr = @"Data Source=serverSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=sqldata;User ID=blahme";
same with this one
cnStr = @"Data Source=STOCKYARDSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=DB;Trusted_Connection=Yes;";
i figured this was all permission based so i kept dorking around with security adding my user name to anything i could find, and also went through and dozen or so connection strings and found when i take out the DB name that i can open a connection.... as the code below works...
cnStr = @"Data Source=ServerSQLEXPRESS;Trusted_Connection=Yes;";
cn.Open();
I plan on importing another database so how will i later on choose between the two, i notice i can create logins only at the security for the sqlexpress and not for my database? did i mess up how i created the database?
i have added my username and given permissions to the security for the database i wish to connect to, but is there another step im missing? i would keep trucking but i would like to have multiple DB on the sql express and pick and choose at the code level, maybe im misunderstanding what the catalog should include or i can change the connections database at another point?

I am trying to use built-in login authentication using SQLExpress (SQLMembershipProvider Class). I have run the utility "aspnet_regsql" both with and without the following switches "-E -A m". Either way it fails to connect and tells me I may need to enable remote connections. I have done that and set it to use both TCP/IP and pipes, even though the connection is local. I still get the same error message. If I open up SQL Server Manager, I can see that there is a user account set up for ASPNET.

I was altering a few columns (setting to allow nulls) on a large table (30+ million records) and the machine naturally crashed. I rebooted, and now I can't connect to the DB - enterprise manager hangs, and query analyzer times out. is it likely the whole DB is screwed up, assuming the table alteration was incomplete?
thankfully, I do have a backup, but for future reference, is there a preferred way to make changes to large tables? last time I did this it took over an hour, and enterprise manager gives no progress indication to make me feel more comfortable that it's actually doing something...

I thought I would post how I got remote t-sql debugging working in my environment. Hope it might help someone.
I have two domains, DomainA and DomainB. DomainB has a one way external trust to DomainA. Dev Vista machine running VS 2005 is in DomainA logged in as user DomainAauser. SQL 2005 running on test Windows Server 2003 DC machine in DomainB under user DomainBuser. When trying to 'step into stored procedure' in VS, whether my data connection used windows authentication or sql server authentication, I would get the 'Unable to start T-SQL degbuggin...'. I could debug t-sql when I logged into the domain controller (console or rdp) and running VS on the server. I changed the SQL Server service to run under the DomainAauser account and I can now remote t-sql debug using both window authentication and sql server authentication. Hope this may help anyone that might run into this.

Hi,
I have Windows XP Home Workgroup LAN.
I am treating one of the XP Home system as 'Server' and installed SQL Express 2005 SP1. Enabled remote connections access.
I have total 4 XP Home systems, out of which one i am treating as Server, from the rest 3 computers, 2 are successfully connected to the Server and able to access SQL Express without any problems. But the 3rd system is unable to communicate with the Server. I disabled all firewalls in this 3rd system but still unable to connect to the server. I am able to ping the server, browse for shared folders on the server. Except SQL Express remote connection, everything else in the network is accessible from this 3rd computer.
Can anyone help me on how to troubleshoot this 3rd computer sql express connection problem to the server.
I don't have any error message to provide here. It just says, unable to connect to sql server, verify username/password etc.
Is there any limitation on SQL Express remote connections ?

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.

Hello,
I am using the following connection string to connect to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition installed on my local PC.
string sqlstr = "Server=(local);Database=MyDB;User ID=sa;Password=sa;Trusted_Connection=False";
And it gives me the following error. The string works fine in computer with SQL Server 2000 instance but fails with 2005. The string also fails for "Server = localhost".
However the string works very fine if I use the name of Server 2005 i.e ./SQLExpress
===================================
Cannot connect to (local).
===================================
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) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
------------------------------
Error Number: 2
Severity: 20
State: 0
------------------------------
Now the main problem is that, of course I could use a named instance, but since I am embedding the Connection String in a dll file so that any user can use it to connect it to the local instance of the SQL Server 2005 installed in his/her computer, I need to use "server = localhost". Doesn't SQL 2005 support this. If yes, where could i find option to enable it?
I have enabled every option available in surface area configuration for SQL Server 2005, but nothing seems to help out. I even use local as well as remote connections using both TCP/IP and named pipes.
Can nyone help me out?

Hi again... I guess this is yet another newbie question (Sorry if its been asked before!)
If I have an IP address for an external SQL DB with valid User & Pass... Can I connect to it using SQLExpress on my machine??
If so can anyone point me towards how to do it, or run through it below (In easy steps as I'm dumb )

I installed SQL Server Express and SQL Server manager, then tried to start manager. SQL Service is running, but SQL Manager attempt to connect to SQL Server instance times-out even though I correctly identify instance as SQLEXPRESS? Everything seems to be normal - both SQL Server and Manager are on a single Windows XP home machine. Any suggestions. Thanks
