I can't connect from a Vista Client to a SQL 2005 Server.
I have been stuck on this problem over a week so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Overview:
I cannot connect from my client (vista business) except with SQL Server Management Studio.
I have tried Red Gate SQL Compare connection from a machine running XP and it connects ok.
I have tried connecting using ODBC from another machine running Vista Home and it connects ok.
I have no problem connecting to my local SQL Server (on my client).
I have tried using Windows Auth and a SQL login.
Environment:
Both the client and server are on the same domain and the user is a domain user.
Client:
Vista Business, SQL Server 2005 SP1 Client tools and Server, RedGate tools, Visual Studio 2005 SP1
Windows Firewall ON (but have tried it off with no difference)
Norton virus protection ON ((but have tried it off with no difference)
UAC is turned off.
Server:
SQL Server 2005 SP1, Remote connections allowed over TCP/IP Port 1433 (IPAll TCP Port 1433, not dynamic)
No windows firewall, Mcaffee virus running.
I get the errors below (or similar) connecting from:
SQL Profiler
Database engine tuning advisor,
Redgate SQL Compare (or any redgate software)
Setting up an ODBC connection
Visual Studio 2005 SP1
The only application that current connects is SQL Server Management Studio!??
If I apply SQL Server 2005 SP2 to the client it stops even SQL Server Management Studio from working.
I either get the following error:
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake.
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:0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)
or (if I force the port and/or method e.g. TCP:192.168.130.3,1433)
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake.
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: TCP Provider, error:0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.)
Again any help would be much appreciated as I just can not seem to solve this.
We are using the Windows Task Scheduler as a substitute for the SQL Server Agent, which isn't available in the Express edition. The scheduled task just calls a batch file, which in turn, runs a stored procedure using osql with the -E option for a Trusted Connection.
SQL Server Express has been installed using the defaults, which means the service is running in the "NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" account. The scheduled task we create is set to run using the "NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" account.
Now we find that on Windows Vista (tested using Ultimate Edition) that the scheduled task fails to run the stored procedure until the machine is rebooted the first time after installing SQL Server Express. When I say "fail", I mean that the stored procedure isn't executed. The scheduled task however completes and reports no errors. On Windows XP, we do not run into this problem so I suspect it has something to do with the UAC in Vista?
We further found that after installing SQL Server Express and creating the scheduled task in the "NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" account, the scheduled task (and stored procedure) runs fine WITHOUT requiring a reboot.
Can anyone explain why a reboot is needed to get SQL Server Express to run the scheduled task correctly under Windows Vista and the SYSTEM account?

Plz help me out in the problem mentioned below....
Our server is Windows 2003...Sql server is SQL SERVER2000...I am trying to register this sql server from a local machine...It is showing the erroe
"SQL server registration failed because of the connection failuredisplayed below.Do you wish to register anyway? SQL Server does not exist or access denied. ConnectionOpen (Connect()) "
TCP/IP and Named Pipes are the enabled protocols in Both Server and Client network Utilities.
Local machine configuration is
OS- Windows vista Business... SQL- SQL Server 2000 client
I am able to connect from other local machines which is having windows 2000 as OS.
Also I am able to register from the windows vista machine to another sql server which is having Windows 2000 OS. connection problem is only happening when I am trying to connect to Windows 2003 server.
Please help me as I am having urgency to resolve this.
A client is running an application called Console. They recently upgraded to Console 2007, which users SQL 2005. All clients on the network can connect to it fine, both XP and Vista.
We have now added another Laptop with Business Home to the network and the Console client cannot connect to the Server. I created a UDL connection for testing and found that from the drop down box under Server I can see all instances on all computers, but when a "Test Connection" is run, I get the following error:
"Test Connection failed becuase of an error initializing provider"[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied."
This happens on all databases on all servers regardless of credentials supplied. Run the same test from the server directly or another computer on the network, it works fine. This laptop is in the same groups as the other workstations, tried by allow 1433 and 1434 through firewall, tried disabling firewall (windows firewall) altogether. I have tried using DB credentials or AD based credentials that work fine from other PC's.
I have ASP.NET application which connectts to SQL Server 2005 on a server remotely. Everything was working fine untill I installed Vista on my laptop and ran the ASP.NET application. It throws following exception very often :
"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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)"
This seems to be Vista specific problem because evrything works fine on XP machine.
After install Visual Studio 2005 (with SQL sever express) on recent Vista build, trying to connect to a local sse database file from Data Source Window (accessible from Data/Show data source window) gives this error:
--------------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio --------------------------- 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) --------------------------- OK
No issues if we install Visual Studio 2005 on WinXP or W2k3.
Is there any configuration we need to set on vista to allow sql connection?
This connection string works for Vista 64bit but not for Vista Business 32bit...
What have I done so far to the Vista Business 32bit... 1. Downloaded/Installed SQLNCLI from Microsoft Site 2. Tested the connection string several ways with no luck... 3. Was able to get Vista Business 32bit to connect via a File DSN with the same credentials... DSN route is not an option for this app...
I'm trying to add a new connection in server explorer. The server will not appear in the server drop down list, and when i manually type in the server and database name, the connection fails saying
"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. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - could not open a connection to SQL Server)"
I made sure the remote connections were on, and I am having no problems open the sql connection in code.

We have an application using SQL Express as the back end. One of our clients has two machines both running Vista Home Premium One of the Home Premium machines has SQL Express installed on it as well as our application - it is acting as a server.
The other machine is networked to it. The application will run but cannot establish a connection to SQL server.
I have done the following:
Set remote access on Enabled named pipes and TCP/IP Enabled SQL Browser Set VIA on Restarted SQL and rebooted the Machine.
Disabled the firewall on the host and workstation
Is there anything I'm missing here? I was able to get the installation running on a Vista Business machine to Vista Ultimate machine with no issues.
I have an application written in VB6 that creates a ADO connection using the (native SQL2005 clien)t from the client to SQLServer 2005 on Server 2003 configured as a stand alone server. The application works great on XP and has for a number of years.
Now I am attempting to deploy in Vista and using the same code the connection speed CRAWLS. it's in the magnitude of atleast 10 times slower. It eventualy works but the selects and doing a readnext against the resulting record set is at a snails pace.
What am I missing. It's has to be some sort of configuration problem somewhere.
I have an application built with Access 2003 (MDB). It is running under Windows XP without any problems. If I run it under Vista, it works technically well but I get the data very slow from the server.

trying to connect to sql server 2005 over the internet. (its a third paty hosting company i'm using)
so i have to connect via tcp/ip using sql server authentication.
my laptop is running vista.
the version of sql server 2005 on my laptopis developer edition with service pack 2.
it worked fine from windows xp and the connection details are valid as it runa fine from .net on the hosting website.
i have added sql serer managemnt studio to the exceptions list in the firewall.
ihave made sure tcpip is enabled in the sql server connection management console.
i have also enabled it in the cliconfg tool
firewall on/off seems to make no difference.
its almost enough to make you turn to oracle and thats saying something considering how long i've been in the microsoft camp...
the error returned is: Login failed for user 'SQL2005_152092_garethbowen'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

I added a connection (ADO.NET) object by name testCon in the connection manager - I wanted to programmatically supply the connection string. So I used the "Expressions" property of the connection object and set the connectionstring to one DTS variable. The idea is to supply the connection string value to the variable - so that the connection object uses my connection string.
Then I added a "Backup Database Task" to my package with the name BkpTask. Now whenever I try to set the connection property of BkpTask to the testCon connection object, by typing testCon, it automatically gets cleared. I am not able to set the connection value.
Then after spending several hours I found that this is because I have customized the connection string in testCon. If I don't customize the connection string, I am able to enter the "testCon" value in the connection property of the BkpTask.
I have a package that uses a for loop to iterate through an unknown amount of excel files and pull their data into a table. However, there will be cases when the file is corrupted or has some sort of problem so that either the transformation will fail or the excel data source will fail with an oledb connection error. Could anyone suggest a clean way to trap these errors? Specifically, the "Cannot Aquire Connection from Connection Manager", which is the excel connection.
I have purchased a seperate computer to "learn and play" which has Vista OS on it. What is the best/or most practical way to setup a sql db on this computer for me to play with and learn sql? I realize some of you think this may be simple but I don't have the opportunity to "dig" in the sandbox at work so I have to do this on my own. Thanks for your help.
I am trying to develop using SQL Server Compact Edition on Vista 64-bit and when I try to load the .DLL files for x86 I get 'BadImageFormatException'. Looking at the documentation, I do not see where SQL Server Compact Edition supports Vista 64-bit, is this true? If it is true, when will it support 64-bit?
I'm having problems getting SQL Express running with Vista. It says remote connection may not be enabled when launching a program in the IDE. The application interfaces with a SQL database that was previously working in XP.
Hello, I have installed Vista Windows recently in my computer. And when using an application that connects a SQL Server2000 who is in the same dominion, gives the following error me:
I have Vista and Office 2007 installed. It comes with the SQL Configuration tool. I was told by someone at Microsoft that I can't install SQL 2005 server on Vista. I have an application called Goldmine that I want to run under Vista, using SQL.
Should I install SQL 2005 express? Can that work under Vista?
Can I use what comes with office 2007? What else will I need to download? Management Studio?
I just added all users as Db_owner :) Now I am gettimg this error:
The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'GetCountryByISO', database 'zikbay', schema 'dbo'. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'GetCountryByISO', database 'zikbay', schema 'dbo'.
I'm trying to use Express to query the Vista Search engine using a linked server as follows:-
sp_addlinkedserver @server = 'myLinkedSvr', @provider = 'Search.CollatorDSO.1', @datasrc = 'SYSTEMINDEX', @srvproduct = '', @provstr='Application=Windows' go SELECT FileName FROM OPENQUERY("myLinkedSvr", 'SELECT Filename FROM SYSTEMINDEX') go
but this returns
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The OLE DB provider "Search.CollatorDSO.1" for linked server "myLinkedSvr" reported an error. Command was not prepared. Server: Msg 7350, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "Search.CollatorDSO.1" for linked server "myLinkedSvr". OLE DB provider "Search.CollatorDSO.1" for linked server "myLinkedSvr" returned message "Command was not prepared.".
It's obviously "almost" working because it complains if I query a column that does not exist.
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. 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.

Error message is: Internal connection fatal error. and it simply disconnects. I cant run any queries! Please help.
I am having a vb6 application with sql server 2005 database. It works fine on windows xp. But when i install the application on windows vista I am getting Adodc error "login failed for user sa". Still the forms are populated with data from the database. But the event handlers dosent seem to work after i get this error. Does someone know what caused that adodc error. I have disabled User account control for the vista installation.
I recently got me a new laptop with Vista preinstalled. All good and well, but when I try to install a program vital for my profession, I get an error (OS not supported for this program). In the install I can configure what components to install, one of them is MSDN 2000. My question is, will SQL Server Express take over what MSDN can't on Vista (and thus running the program needing the MSDN 2000), or will windows XP be the new OS on my brand new laptop in the future. Love Vista, hate the compatibility.
We€™re calling ADOX::Table::Keys::Append to make a primary key for a table using the SQLOLEDB provider. We€™re passing an ADOX::Key with Name set to a custom name, Type set to ADOX::adKeyPrimary, and a single column added. For the Append call, the 2nd parameter is ADOX::adKeyPrimary, the third is a vtMissing (VT_ERROR with DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND), the last two are empty BSTR€™s. On XP, this works well (msadox.dll file version 2.81.1117.0). On Vista, this fails with an invalid parameter error (msadox.dll version 6.0.6000.16386). Has the interface changed in some way, is this functionality not supported, or is it broken?
First of all, I am a self taught programmer, and a Sql Neophyte, and know just enough to get confused (or in trouble). I have a TabletPC app that uses SqlExpress, installing as 'Click Once'. Works great on XP, but my app comes to a screeching halt on Vista, because of the permissions/contact network administrator issue. I read Mike's post (dated a year ago, Oct 06) about using SSMSE to create a new Login with sysadmin rights for the current user. Long story short, completed it successfully, but it didn't work.
I have been browsing posts here on the subject, but I am confused. Does my Vista user need to install SP2? Will that fix the problem? I am sorry, but some of the posts on this subject are over my head.
Could I prevail on one of the moderators to point me in the right direction, or to explain in v-e-r-y b-a-s-i-c terms what I need to do to help my Vista users access my SqlExpress DB?
Has anyone managed to get SQL server 2005 standard edition working on Vista?
If I install from CD I get an error message
Error Message:
sql server setup could not connect to the database service for server confiurgration.The error was[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Shared Memory Provider:No process is on the other end of pipe.
I have then tried installing SP1 (which i understand is meant to fix some of the vista issues), but then when I then try to re-install from the CD it says the version on my PC is more up-to-date and doesnt install.
All I have in Programs - SQL server 2005 - Are the Configuration tools, not the Management studio etc.
I had sql express and microsoft express accounting working fine on xp. When I updated to vista and reinstalled sqlexpress with sp1 and management express sp1, I can not get the server to register. Any command I click gives error message "this type of initializer <module> threw and exception". Also when I tried to install accounting from office 2007 cd, will not install giving same message. Ihave uninstalled and reinstalled sql express w sp1 several times with no success. I can find no reference to this error message anywhere. Anybody got an idea where I can do to get this to work properly? Thanks in advance.
