Sorry for posting this here, I couldn't find an accurate forum name to post this in.
We are using Windows SBS Server 2003 with SQL Server installed. We have a static IP. I am wondering if we can host our database. I am specifically interested in having outside websites access our database. Is there anything special I need to do to make this happen? I am pretty clueless about this.
The current way I have my asp.net 2.0 web app running reports is, based on an interface the user selects the criteria for a report. The .RDL file is created dynamically based on the user's selections. I then need to SOAP the dynamically created report to the report server and then the report runs fine. BUT it requires Adminstrative rights to do this. Can this be accomplished without giving the local machine admin rights. I am sorry if this question has been answered before but i have not been up here in a while.
how to deploy web services on local machine. I created self certificate in IIS and then build the solution in the visual studio. After I build the solution, I found that automatically it created the virtual directories for the web services under the default website in the IIS Manager. When I click and select the browse it is not working.
Currently, our Report Builder is running on Local Intranet mode. I'm investigating what the security implications are in changing it to Internet mode. However, I've not been able to find any documentation on this.
Does anyone know of any documentation that addresses this issue or have experience that they can share with changing Report Builder security zone from Intranet mode to Internet mode?
We have a 64-bit VM server running SQL Server 2005. The SQL Server on this particular VM server has 6 local instances installed. On the Management Studio logon screen I can type the full name of the local instance and connect to it, however if I press the drop down in the Server name field, choose Browse and select the Local Servers tab there is nothing listed under Database Engines.
Any idea why the 6 local instances don't show up under Database Engines? This is preventing me from installing a vendor application because their installer looks for local SQL Server instances on this server, but if SQL Server won't even show the local instances then the installer doesn't see them either.
Am getting errors trying to deploy a dtsx created by ms (the reporting services execution log one) to which I have made zero changes, but it is not working (2 errors shown below)

The SaveToSQLServer method has encountered OLE DB error code 0x80004005 (Login timeout expired). The SQL statement that was issued has failed.
I am facing a problem in connecting to the local database with server name as (local).
I have installed SQL Server 2005 in my machine. When I try to connect to the SQL server with the server name as SUNILKUMAR I am able to connect but when I try to connect to the same server with the server name as (local) I am not able to connect. SUNILKUMAR is my machine name and SQL server is running locally.
if anyone can help me what is the problem in this case it is highly appriciated.
Hi, I am developing a VB app that will be accessed over the net. What do i need to do so that my users will be able to connect to the SQL server without being denied the permission. a hind regarding the network library settings will be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. Deepak.
I want to connect to other computer that installed M$ SQL Server2K over INTERNET. could you help me, plz.
I have used DNS (DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM) to forward to my computer( that connect to INTERNET) and my friend computer is the same. (because we have not static IP).
I am so confused and I am getting no help from the Microsoft, two months and only stammering from their representatives. I need to set up a Sql Server database that will allow internet access. This is not an e-commerce situation. At most there will be 10 known users of this system accessing statistical data. I had priced this system to use Backoffice, but as I now read this is not legal for internet use. It also appears that a processor license is required for internet access (not entirely clear on this). Access and MSDE also don't appear to be legal for internet access. The customer is on a shoe string budget. If I use stand-alone components the budget only covers an one processor SQL Server 2000 license. I don't like the idea of setting up a database system with only one processor. Is there another Sql Server based option I am not aware of? Its looking like a linux/mysql option - Yikes!
I need to develop an application in vb.net that uses sql server database so that user can access the use the application over the inter net. How Can I accomplish that ? What are the options ?
I'm reasonably new to MS SQL server, I've mostly been setting up databases and creating ASP Pages to look at them with.
However recently I've been given a fun job and I can't seem to find a way to do it.
The problem is we have 2 servers located on different sites, one is actually doing stuff the other just monitors some equipment and when status chages on the equipment a report is made to a table. The software doing this is bespoke and it would cost a fortune to have changed, what we want to do is have the monitoring server send a copy of the inserted row as they get inserted.
I've tried linking the servers via ODBC (in the linked servers part) but when a trigger i've put on the insert table fires it throws up an error about ANSI NULLS and WARNINGS and nothing happens.
After a look round on the internet I've found reference to using the 'set ANSI_NULLS' on command but this seems to be for stored procedures, even then when i try to execute the stored procedure as they show it still comes back with this error.
Can anyone suggest any other ways of copying the inserted row across?
Both servers are MS SQL but are not on a LAN so I have to refere to them as IP addresses.
I know it is possible to establish a connection to an SQL Server overthe Internet via Enterprise Manager. My question is, how secure is thisconnection? Is there a best practices document for this type ofconnection?Here is my scenario:We are looking to outsource our web hosting. Currently, we uploadclient sensitive data to our SQL Server databases within our internalnetwork. If we outsource, the SQL server will be on a differentnetwork. We are behind a firewall here and the dedicated hosted SQLServer will also be behind a firewall. Is the Enterprise Managerconnection succeptable to hackers? If so any reccomendations on how toaccomplish this would be appreciated.Another scenario is connecting to the SQL Server through a DSN. Canthis be accomplished from inside our network to outsourced server? Howsecure would that connection be?Thanks in Advance.
We have the following problem. Our DB (MSDE 2000) is situated on remote server on which we
have administrator privilege. The application which works on Local net connect to every machine in
the net and see the database on one of the mashine as well.
The connection string is data source=192.168.0.1XXXX;initial catalog=XXXX;integrated security=SSPI;persist security
info=True;workstation id=XXXX;packet size=4096"
but when we change IP in the connection string to our remote server(in internet with static IP) one we get
an exception says that SQL server does not exist or access denied. We opened ports on firewall but problem is still here. Then swithched off the firewall at all
I have an Access 2003 application that works well in a LAN environment with a Jet based back end. However, I would like to move this back end to a SQL Server database hosted on a website so that my users could run the application from any Internet-connected PC, using a modified version of my Access front end.
Is this a perfectly normal way of using SQL Server? Is response time likely to be an issue or can careful design make performance similar to that with a LAN based back end?
Being a very novice SQL Server administrator, I need to ask the experts a question.
How do I go about moving a database from 1 drive to another? The source drive (C is local to the server, but the target drive (E is on a Storage Area Network (SAN), although it is still a local drive for the server. I want to move the database from C: to E:. Can someone provide me with instructions?
Sql server agent is running under a domain account that is a member of administrators and domain users amongst others, and the package is executed as the service account. Connecting to servers on the same domain works and when I run it from the msdb package store in ssis (ssis runs under the network service account ...) it will connect to the pop server as well. Permissions, fiddly proxies .. the answer's out there somewhere
I am making a web application and it works fine. It uses Sql Server 2000 as the database. But when I connect to the Internet and compile or run my application it gives me this message :
" SQL SERVER DOES NOT EXIST OR ACCESS DENIED"
it works finewhen iam not connected to the internet
I'm Building a windows application which updates an internet site's database.Is it possible to connect directly to the sql server through the internet?If so is it the most efficient way ? perhaps a web service or streaming is a better solution?Thanks.
Hi all, I 'm in VietNam, i want to use SQL server 2000 to connect to SQL server in China throught the internet. I did it in many way but it did not work, please show me. Best regards
Hi, I'm currently writing a desktop application that communicates directly with a SQL server database on the local network. Ideally we'd like to connect directly to the database via the Internet. - connecting via the Internet is important because we want easy access from anywhere. - directly is important because fast data transfer is a requirement.
Not knowing much about the security implications of such a connection, I thought I'd ask here. So what are the major risks and objections? Can the connection and data be made secure?
Hi,Just installed Norton Internet Security on an XP workstation that also hasSQL Server on it.I now find that I cannot access SQL Server and multiple messages are beingissued by NIS.When I switch off the Firewall & Intrusion Detection I can access SQLServer.Does anyone know how to configure NIS so that I can use it alongside SQLServer?Thanks,Mike.
We're trying to determine the best way to implement an authentication mechanism for our reporting services solution. Basically, we are exposing a web application to the internet, and allowing a forms authenticated user to access our report server somewhere within our intranet to view reports. I've browsed msdn and found that there are two approaches:
1. create a custom authentication extension for reporting services 2. create a restricted domain user that is allowed to access the report server
Going with approach 2 and assuming I'm using a ReportViewer control, in order to authenticate with the report server (using the one domain user created specifically for report server access), are we supposed to just provide an instance of an object implementing IReportServerCredential containing the domain user information to the Credentials property of the ReportViewer.ServerReport before accessing the report? Is this the correct way to implement approach 2? Also, if implementing approach 2 is so simple compared to approach 1, why would anyone choose to implement custom authentication extension if they don't need fine-grain access control on the report server level?
Couple of questions for the SQL Server Guru's out there.
SQLServer 2005 Web Hosting Provider
Ok I am developing a Web application in ASP.NET with AJAX, etc. etc. It will be some time before it is ready to roll out. As a mockup I created the same application in Microsoft Access and Visual Basic (VS 2008), which I can link the tables to the hosting provider on the internet. Works very well and speed is very acceptable. The want to start utilizing it with the mockup distributed app that I created.
My question is, is how secure is the data that is moving from the local application to SQLServer 2005 with the web hosting provider ? Is there anything that I can do to increase security ?
How can I access my Microsoft SQL Server 2005 through internet?
For example, I set up a Microsoft SQL Server in one of computers of my company, and every computer in my company has its own IP .They are in the same workgroup. Now, there is no problem with database access with another computer in my company.
Can anyone tell my how to access it through a computer out of my company?
I cannot seem to find the definitive how-to guide for this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I have SQL Server 2005 (x64) already running on Windows 2003 R2 (x64). I'm having difficulty trying to expose it the Internet.
Using the Surface Area Configuration tool I can see that remote connections using TCP/IP is enabled. I also made the machine administrator a member of the SysAdmin role from here too.
In Windows Firewall "SQL Server" and "Web" are already checked as exceptions.
I know that SQL Server uses port 1433 and I also read somewhere that clients connecting to SQL Server communicate on a random port between 1024 and 5000. So, on my router (Netgear WNR854T) I'm forwarding ports 1024 through 5000 to the machine where SQL Server lives.
In my connection string I'm using the IP address of the SQL Server machine with ":1433" appended to the address. Yet I cannot connect to SQL Server. Am I missing anything?
I am migrating from MySQL 5 to SQL Server Express 2005 (SP1) and I am having some remote connections issues. I have tried just about everything that I have read in the forums and in Microsoft's knowledge base about remote connections with SQL Server. I am using Visual FoxPro 9 as my client and connecting with ODBC to SQL Server. The strange thing about my issue is that I can connect just fine with localhost or using my LAN IP address. Before I get to the errors, here is what I have configured:
Remote connections are allowed, TCP is active, SQL Browser service is active and running, my router forwards requests on ports 4567 (my custom port that I setup IP1 in SQL Server Configuration Manager to listen on), 1433 and 1434 (TCP and UDP for all) to my local IP address. My firewall will not block ports 4567, 1433 or 1434 (TCP and UDP for all). I even tried turning my firewall off.
For example, the following connection strings work. The first works when I am at the same computer as my SQL Server, the second works from a different computer on the same LAN.
Using either the SQL default port or a custom port yields this error message: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired Connectivity error: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]TCP Provider: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
The fact that I can connect with my LAN and not on the internet suggests that my ISP may be blocking port 1433. For this reason I tried to change the port my SQL Server instance was listening on but I have a feeling it isn't working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've been stuck on this problem. Is there any way to test if my SQL server instance is actually listening on my custom defined port? Thanks in advance.
DNS entry is a must in my PC to connect to internet but i canot connect to an MS SQL database server installed on another machine on same lan. but if i remove DNS entry in my PC i could connect to MSSQLServer but i canot connect internet. i want to work on both simoultaniously. some one please suggest what to do ..?
