Connecting To SQL Server 2000 Named Instances
Aug 29, 2006
I have the following problem;
I fully understand that to connect to a named instance of SQL Server you need to use the ServerNameSQLInstanceName. The problem I have is that I have a SQL Server in a different zone. I can connect to the Default instance by IP Address or the ServerName.zone.domain.org. (e.g. MySQLServer.zone1.mydomain.org).
However, the same thing does not work for the Named Instance. It seems to be named instance or nothing.
How can I connect to this named instance across network zones?:S

We are having all kinds of issues with named instances for SQL 2000.
I am trying to connect to a SQL Server 2000 named instance on a different subnet and get an error. I cannot connect with ODBC or our web app.
I am using the port number for the alias that I created in the SQL Client Utility. We can connect to default instances without a problem, but not the named instances.
The SQL Server is 2000 build 2040 (Service pack 4 with a hot fix.) The server is listening on port 1223. In the ODBC connection I click on the Network Config and create an alias with the named instance such as SQLVSNSQLNI and specify port 1223. I have also tried adding the port to the connection string in the ASP include file (SQLVSNSQLNI,1223). If I do the same thing with a default instance on the network, both the app and ODBC work fine. It is only when I use a named instance.
Very frustrated. Thanks for any help you can provide

I had a server with SQL Server 7.0
I installed a named instance of SQL Server 2000 and then i passed all my DB
of the 7.0 instance to the 2000 instance.
Then i removed the 7.0 instance, that was the default instance.
So at the moment there is only the 2000 version, but it isn't the default
instance
Can the 2000 instance become the default instance? (So that clients can
connect to it simply through computer name, and not creating an alias)
thanks

We're moving several Version 7 databases to a SQL Server
2000 box.
How can I grant SQL Server 2000 security for three
"Named Instances"?
Thanks

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
...ServerName;RED;InstanceName;SECOND;IsClustered;No;Version;8.00.194;tcp;4307;;Ser

Any ideas?

Informatica jobs were erroring out with a sql server driver error
while connecting to a named instance in SQL Server.
The issue was because in sql server named instance, the port was allocated dynamically and Informatica 7.1.4 (provides 4.21 version of Datadirect odbc drivers for SQL server) which dont have support for named instances with dynamic port allocation. This feature is only present from version 5 of the Datadirect odbc drivers for SQL server
To fix this issue, I need to allocate the port for the named instance instead of getting it dynamically.
My questions
1) Whats the impact of doing a port allocation for the named instance on the existing environment.
2) Is there any issues which we can foresee in the applications
3) Things which i need to be aware of
Thanks in advance

Greetings,
I have a VB 2003 .NET application that I wrote for a customer that connects to a named instance of SQL 2000. Until recently it has been working fine. Lately the program either pops a timeout failure within a few seconds or a general network error. I've increased the connection timeout settings to 90 seconds but the error still pops within a few seconds. I'm thinking something has changed in the environment that prevents a clean connection to the named instance of SQL server.
How should this issue be troubleshoot to determine the problem and what areas need to be looked at?
Thanks

Facts:1. I am using my account on Godaddy trying to connect to my sql server db.2. I can get into my db using user id and password.3. Godaddy's help file shows this for a connection string: connectstr = "Driver={SQL Server};SERVER=" & db_server & ";DATABASE="

Get error message 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) I tried to email Godaddy's help desk with this information. There first response: We do not allow remote connections to our sql server database.There second response was to read the help file!Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance,bswanson

We have installed SQL 2000 SP4 on Windows 2000 Server. We created named instances on the SQL server.
When trying to connect to named instances from a remote sql client which is on windows 2000 and windows 2003, its throwing an error message saying that remote connections are disabled.
But, remote connections are enabled on the SQL server.
After changing the component services settings on windows 2003 where sql client is installed, we are able to connect to named instances.
But, after applying the same settings on another windows 2003 machine, we are unable to connect to the same instances.
We have another machine where we installed SQL 2005 on windows 2003 SP1. When trying to connect to named instances from any remote client, its throwing an error message saying that remote connections are disabled. But, remote connections are enabled in SQL server settings. We tried connecting to the instances by changing the component services settings but still we are facing the same issues.
Can you please help me on above issues?

I have opened up a port on a remote SQL instance and can see that the port is LISTENING when using the PortQry tool. I have also set the TCP port in the TCP/IP properties in the IPAll section for that instance, yet I am unable to connect and get an error of
Connection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed while attempting to consume the pre-login handshake acknowledgement. This could be because the pre-login handshake failed or the server was unable to respond back in time. The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=1; handshake=14998; (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I have done this on other instances, although they were default instances, and it has always worked fine.

Is it possible to rename a named instance?
We have a vendor product that can only handle up to 18 characters for the server name and the instance name (we did not know this when we created the named instance) and of course our combined name is 19 characters, so it trys to pass the 18 charater name and then fails with the following error:
[LOG] Unable to read local eventlog (reason: The data area passed to a system call is too small)
So, can i rename the instance, or do i have to create a new named instance?
Thanks

We are using a system that has uses four instances. On each client to the server we used the ODBC settings to connect to the different instances. We have since reinstalled the server, and now we are unable to find or 'see' any of the databases, except for locally.
E.g. The first database we install is named Foo, with database Bar. It is set up on port 1433.
The second named instance is Foo2, with database Bar2. It is set up on a dynamic port.
We now try to connect to the database with ODBC. We connect to SERVERFOO, and then select the BAR db. It works fine.
We then try to connect to the database SERVERFoo2, it lets us in, and then all we can select is the BAR db. I don't know what is causing this. We never before had to edit the settings in the client config for the odbc settings (e.g. to set manually to TCP port 1433) and I have checked the sql config manager to ensure that tcpip settings are allowed and will "ListenAll".
What more do we need to do? I think the browser should be installed, but my collegue disagrees.
Any ideas as to why we can only see the database referenced to 1433 port, and why no other port works, when we never had to do that before?
Thanks a bunch in advance,
Regards
Carl

Using VS05 SP1 Pro SQL Express€¦
In converting a program from VS03/MSDE, long ago I installed SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services and everything was fine. Windows Update has recently been failing to install SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services SP2. After no answers from the forums, and logs that were of no help, I decided to uninstall SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services and reinstall SQL 2005 Express (basic version). As a test run, I did it on a desk top, no problems what so ever.
However, on my laptop, it has been a nightmare.
Question 1) in control panel, add/remove programs, all of SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services uninstalled fine except one item - I am unable to uninstall MS SQL 2005 Backward Compatibility, getting the error message
A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file
c:windowsinstallersqlserver2005_bc.msi
That file is not on the hard disk.
After installing SQL 2005 Express (the basic version), this problem persists and I cannot uninstall MS SQL 2005 Backward Compatibility for the same reason.
How can I get rid of MS SQL 2005 Backward Compatibility?
Question 2) Windows update still is trying to download and install SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services SP2, even though I have uninstalled it. How to manually get rid of whatever settings are triggering this?
Thanks!

I have a server computer named 'X' and I would like to install 2 instances of SQL Server 2005
1. SQLTEST
2. SQLDEV
During installation. if I select Default instance then it will name my sql server instance X . I don't want that. I want to have essentially 2 named instances to make it clear to the users that they are using a test and dev sql server. Whats the best way to do this? I am open to suggestions if there is a different way to do this.
Is it required to have a default instance? Can I have 2 named instances XSQLDEV and XSQLTEST?
Also, on the SQLTEST I will be installing reporting services. By not having a default instance will it cause issues for the SSRS installation.
Please help!
Thanks.

We've read about a single installation of SSIS applies to all SQL instances on a server. We've also read how by default SQL Server stores SSIS packages in the MSDB database on the default instance and if you want to have packages stored on a named instance you must modify msdtssrvr.ini.xml. Here are our questions.
1 - If msdtssrvr is modified to reference a named instance, such as <ServerName>SQLTESTINST1<ServerName>, when I connect to Integration Services through Management Studio do I still specify the default instance name in the login window? That's the only way we have been able to connect and despite specifying the default instance name, the packages displayed are those of the named instance.
2 - If I am correct that you must always specify the default instance name when connecting to Integration Services, then in order to eliminate confusion regarding what SQL instance's SSIS packages I am viewing under the folder structure I can create SQL Server folders by modifying msdtssrvr.ini.xml. For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DtsServiceConfiguration xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<StopExecutingPackagesOnShutdown>true</StopExecutingPackagesOnShutdown>
<TopLevelFolders>
<Folder xsi:type="SqlServerFolder">
<Name>MSDB</Name>
<ServerName>.</ServerName>
</Folder>
<Folder xsi:type="SqlServerFolder">
<Name>MSDB-INST1</Name>
<ServerName>SQLTESTINST1</ServerName>
</Folder>
<Folder xsi:type="SqlServerFolder">
<Name>MSDB-INST2</Name>
<ServerName>SQLTESTINST2</ServerName>
</Folder>
<Folder xsi:type="FileSystemFolder">
<Name>File System</Name>
<StorePath>..Packages</StorePath>
</Folder>
</TopLevelFolders>
</DtsServiceConfiguration>
I then restart the SSIS service and can now see the following folder structure.
Running Packages
Stored Packages
+ File System
+ MSDB
+ MSDB-INST1
+ MSDB-INST2
If I expand MSDB-INST1 I will only see packages saved on the instance named INST1. The same is true for INST2. If I expand MSDB I will only see packages saved on the default instance.
Does this sound like I am doing things correctly?
Thanks, Dave

Hello,
I am after a bit of advice about running the Upgrade Advisor tool on a server that has more than 1 SQL Server instance. My particular focus is DTS on each server.
I tried running the tool, setting up an XML file per SQL Server (including named instances). An example of the XML is I used is included below):
<Configuration> <Server>SQL01</Server> <Instance>INSTANCE01</Instance> <Components> <DataTransformationServices /> </Components></Configuration>
When the tool runs, folders get created for the relevant named instances, but the DTS runs against the default instance only. In other words, the default instance DTS.xml file gets overwritten several times.
Does anyone know if the Upgrade Advisor tool can handle multiple SQL instances on the same server, particularly in realtion to DTS?
I had thought this might have been a limitation as the options in the Report Viewer are "Server" then "Instance or Component", when I am really after "Server", "Instance" AND "Component".
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks in advance, Paul

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

Hello, I'm trying to list the default and named instances on our domain. When I run SqlBrowseConnect all I get back is a list of our servers, for example:
COMP01
COMP50
I'd like to get all the named instances as well, a list with:
COMP01
COMP01DD
COMP50
When I run "osql -L" I get the full list, but not with SqlBrowseConnect. I have tried to set SQL_COPT_SS_BROWSE_SERVER to (SQLPOINTER)NULL which, according to the docs, "[...] returns information for all servers in the domain." I have also set the SQL_COPT_SS_BROWSE_CONNECT to SQL_MORE_INFO_YES without any luck.
Any ideas on any property I might be missing?
Cheers,
Chris

Hello, I tried this and it doesnt work, I just started up the service with -T flag on default instance but I havent been able to start it with -T flag 1400 on named instances.
How can I Know that the directory MSSQL.4 is the MIRROR instance??
C:Archivos de programaMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.4MSSQLBinn>sqlservr.exe -T
1400 MIRROR
I tried LUCHOMIRROR, MSSQLSERVER$MIRROR
and It doesnt work
Thanks
Another question I have, in the documentation it says that mirroring is only for evaluation purposes and not for production environments, what does it suppose to mean? MSFT didnt test the mirroring feature enough? If its not suppoerted why its included..?
Microsoft support policies do not apply to the database mirroring feature in SQL Server 2005. Database mirroring is currently disabled by default, but may be enabled for evaluation purposes only by using trace flag 1400 as a startup parameter. (For more information about trace flags, see Trace Flags (Transact-SQL).) Database mirroring should not be used in production environments, and Microsoft support services will not support databases or applications that use database mirroring. Database mirroring documentation is included in SQL Server 2005 for evaluation purposes only, and the Documentation Policy for SQL Server 2005 Support and Upgrade does not apply to the database mirroring documentation.

Ok, here's the deal. This has been killing me for months now.
Here's the setup - SQL 2000 database on a Shared Infrastructure (cluster). I have a database on a named instance. My port number is xxxxx. I have dbo (through Windows Auth) permissions on my database. When I connect at the office, I get through fine, no question. When I connect at home, I get error 26 in my asp.net 2 app (using System.Data.SqlClient), cannot find SQL Server database. I can connect through the SQL 2005 Management Studio using the same servernameinstance name I use at the office. I can connect through the SQL 2000 Query Analyzer using servernameinstancename;(semicolon)portnumber. I've tried all sorts of combinations in my web.config -
servernameinstancename,(comma) portnumber
servernameinstancename;(semicolon - causes web.config to blowup) portnumber
ipaddressinstancename, (comma) portnumber
and i still get nothing. usually it's 'error 26' - but if i use this:
Data Source=ipaddressinstancename,portnumber;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=xxx;Trusted_Connection=Yes;
I get 'Login failed for user domainuser'
I've tried making an alias. I've tried using ODBC. I've even tried a freakin' DSN. No dice.
Nothing seems to work - I'm at the end of my rope. Can someone please help?

Hi folks
I have deployed a package from file resources to sql server named instance. I did not receive any errors. msdb..dtspackages90 table have rows for my package.
But when I try to connect to integration services using ssms like 'serverinstance', I am getting an error saying that 'serverinstance' names are not supported by integrated services and I should use just a servername.
What am I doing wrong? Is that really integration services are not supported on named instances or i miss something?
Thank you, Gene.
