Get Authentication Error In Upgrade SQL 2005 Named Instance To SP1 TCP
Apr 3, 2006
I got the following error using either NT or SQL Login ('sa') that are sysadmin in my SQL 2005 instance:
Your Account information could not be verified for one or more instances. Ensure that you can connect to all the selected instances using the account information provided. To process further deselect the instances to which connectivity cannot be established.
However, I would login to SQL 2005 named instance, either NT or SQL login 'sa' without any problems to do anything I want because both are sysadmin.
<PS> Note that my default SQL instance in my local server is SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 named instance.
I have two software products that are accessing the same MSDE Database instance. I recently upgraded the MSDE instance to SQL Express using the in place method. The upgrade runs with success. However, one scenerio is breaking both software products.
1. Product A is not installed
2. An older version of Product B which uses MSDE is intalled.
3. I upgrade the MSDE instance to SQL Express
4. An older version of Product A is installed that uses MSDE.
Note: At this point the install of product A attempts to install an MSDE named instance that is the same as the upgraded instance
5. The install of Product A fails and corrupts the registry keys
6. Now my SQL Express named instance is corrupt and product B can not find the database instance.
Question: Can MSDE and SQL Express run side by side with both having an instance with the same name? I am pretty sure that the answer is going to be No.
If not, how can I prevent this scenerio from occurring. I'm thinking that I will have to do a side by side upgrade creating a new instance with a different name. Then I will have to direct both products to the new named instance. Any ideas or suggestions?
I have a named sql instance on SQL 2012. The issue is that the clients is having problem connecting to it when the firewall is on, this is not consistent. The connection is fine when I disabled the firewall. When I turned the Windows firewall back on, it will work for awhile and it fails. I checked the SQL configuration manager and saw that a dynamic port is assigned to the named instance. I did put that in the firewall rule and unblock it. I also put TCP 1433 and 1434 as well as the browser service port, TCPUDP 2382 and it still didn't work.What is the best way to determine what port does the named instance are listening?
The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server. There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'. I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> However, I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but this doesn't work either.
Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated Thanks...
Hi, I am struggling connection to a named instance of SQL 2000 (SP4) from another machine but without any success. I get an error message saying that the server does not exist or access is denied.
The security configuration in this named instance is the same as the default instance (also 2000) and the remote machine can connect to it successfully.
I also configured the aliases in Client Network Utility in the client machine and set the server (machine) name and the port number used by the instance - but no help.
I use osql and Query Analyzer to connect to it, but I cannot connect by any of them.
Connecting locally, in the machine where the instance is installed, is successful.
The same behaviour appears when I try to connect to another instance on the machine which is 2005. Something with the named instance is problematic.
If i initially installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition using the "default instance", how do i create an additional (new) SQL Server 2005 (90) "named instance" without reinstalling SQL Server 2005?
Several applications in out environment use Microsoft access to access the SQL server databases. Our new SQL Server 2005 instance is a named instance. We would like to create a .reg file to update the individual workstations as part of the migration. For some reason the .reg file with a named instance does not work. If the entry is created through the GUI it works. The server drop down does not show the named instance, only the server name but if you type the servernameamed_instance it finds it ok. Here is an example of what works and what does not. Any ideas on what the problem might be?
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 - Does NOT work
I€™m creating a new named instance in SQL2005 , by default the instance created with €œLatin1_General_CI_AS€? collation.
I want to change this collation to €œSQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS€?, but sincerely I don€™t have a clue how to select it on the collation setting window :
I needed to re-install the entire sql server 2005, I used add/remove program. everything went normal, except reporting service. I deleted the entire upper sql server directory, rebooted the box, however, it still shows up in services, even though the path does not exist. I tried to reinstall it again, but it complains about name already exists. I cannot change the name, but I am not able to find how I can remove it and reinstall it properly.

I have a new named instance (SQL Server 2005 x64 SP2 (Build 3159) Developer edition) setup with dynamic port selection. A default instance was also running on the server prior to the named instance setup.
SQL Server Browser service is running. Remote connections are configured on the named instance. But still remote clients can only connect when the port number is specified after the instance name (servernameinstancename,9999). Without the port number, "error 26 - Error locating Server/instance specified" is thrown.
Doesn't the SQL Server Browser service eliminate the need for clients to specify the port number? What am I missing?
We have two instances of SQL Server 2005 - SP1 installed on one server. The default instance starts very slowly. When looking at the log I can see the delay is due to Resource Manager based upon the following error.
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?
I am working on a C# stored procedure for SQL 2005, and i've uncovered a couple questions.
First a description of the procedure:
I have a series of equations taking place to calculate a score based on activities in which the user participated in, that will give them an over all grade or rating. The calculations currently take place in the database, and I am moving this from T-SQL to C# CRL.
1. In order to connect the stored procedure to the database I use a SqlConnection and a SqlCommand to execute either dynamic sql or a stored procedure to return data to a data reader. Is there an easier way to connect to the database? In SSMS if i open up the query it knows what database i am connected to. Do I have to make a sql connection in C# stored Procedures?
2. I have multiple functions within the main C# Stored Procedure that I'm working on. This ends up requiring Multiple Active Recordsets. I must set this withing the connection string. Seeing as I'm using a named instance of SQL 2005, I now must put the userid, password, and server name into the code. Is there a more secure way to connect to SQL Server in a C# Stored procedure that allows MARS?
3. I encryped the connection string, and put it into the assembly, I wrote a decryption class, and in the procedure itself everytime I need to refrence the connection string, I call it, decrypt it, and pass it along. But my code to decrypt the connection string is in the compiled DLL, if the server was ever compromised the encrypted connection string and the key to decrypt it are sitting in the DLL. Is there a config file that I can use for C# Stored Procedures?
4. If I have to keep the connection string in the file, then I need to change that per environment. Example I have 3 test environments before production. So I would need to change the connection string for each file. That may be fine for one procedure, but what if I have 20, that will quickly get of hand?
5. Along the security lines, can the assembly for a C# Stored Procedure be called from outside the assembly? From a command prompt, or by a maliceous program? Or could it be called directly by a .NET application instead of going through a T-SQL Stored Procedure that is using WITH EXECUTE AS CALLER AS EXTERNAL NAME [PROJECTNAME].[CLASSNAME].[METHODNAME]
I've two instances(Default, Named[dynamicsFINANCE]) running on SQL server 2014. However, when I try to connect to named instance say (dynamicsFINANCE) using SQL authentication from local SSMS, I get below error message:
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: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
I assigned a static port number to the named instance [dynamicsFINANCE] 1450. I also setup the firewall rule to allow access to Port 1450.
I have a 3 node cluster on which I have installed SSAS as it's own insntance. I have created this as a named instance and can connect to it by serverinstance if I'm on the server itself. However from my desktop I get the error saying instance was not found on server name.
I have defined an alternate port and setup firewall rules and can connect via server:port but not serverinstance. Prior to making this change SSAS was running on default port of 2383 and I could connect just by servername.
I have read many articles for previous versions saying that clustered SSAS will always use 2383 and that you must connect just using servername. However and this is were it gets strange. I have a 2 node UAT cluster with SSAS setup exactly the same way I've described above and I can connect from my desktop as serverinstance.
Should I be able to connect as serverinstances for a named clustered instance in 2012 ?
Hi, I have a task in hand to migrate (upgrade) from SQL2K named instance to SQL2K5 default instance. There are many intranet applications touching current SQL2K. I would like to perform this upgrade such that I don't have to touch any application code - meaning I don't have to change the connectionstring to point to new Default instance. How can I achieve this?
So, in otherwords, here is what I want to achieve:
Current Server: SQL2K: SERVER_AINSTANCE_A (named instance)
If I have both default, I could achive this by setting up DNS alias after migration done so that any call for SERVER_A would point to SERVER_B. But in my case, I don't have SERVER_A, I have named instance. Is there any solution?
I am trying to set up a Named Instance of SQL 2000 on the same machine that has a default instance of SQL 7.0. The setup always completes and I am able to register the Named Instance of the SQL Server with which it was installed on. However, when I try to connect the users to the database, with both windows and SQL authentication, I receive a SQL server not found error. I have tried an alias setup as well as physically specifying the port number in settup up an ODBC connection. Has anyone ran into similar problems? Also, has anyone been able to successfully complete the process as mentioned above?
I have a server with sql server 2005 installed as the default instance -- I have a piece of software that needs SQL2000 to be the default instance. Is there a way other than install new sql2005 named instance and move databases to rename my SQL2005 instance from <machinename> to <machinename>sql05 for example?
I installed SQL Server 2005 recently on a cluster. I didn't go for the default instance and instead I named the instance option. Now I would like to migrate everything from the named instance to the default instance, which I haven't yet installed.
Is this an easy process? What about the logins and the maintenance plans and jobs? Is there anything else I need to be aware of?
I've never had to do this, but when I downloaded the Web Workflow Approvals Starter Kit, it requested that I install the database into a User Instance of .SQLEXPRESS.
Now the problem is, I've installed it onto a default instance, so I was wondering whether you can create a named instance on top of a default instance... and if so, how would you do that?
Have searched a good bit for a KB or other article but haven't been able to find one.
I have a 2003 server with SQL Server 2005 Express installed, but not the Advanced Services version. Recently installed an application that needs the Full Text search capability. Would prefer not to remove SQL Server Express and reinstall the Advanced version because I'm also using Symantec Backup Exec 11d which has its own instance on the SSExpress installation.
Is it possible to upgrade an instance to Advanced Services? If not, is it possible to upgrade the entire install?
There's got to be a how-to article somewhere on how to do this. Just can't seem to locate it at Microsoft or with Google.
We are performing a SQL 2005 SP1 upgrade from SQL 2000 on our Windows 2003 SP1 Standard Edition.
When we run the upgrade, we got a error "Upgrade Advisor Return -1" as a pop-up window.
When we run the Upgrade Advisor separately, we get this error :
===================================
Common Language Runtime detected an invalid program.

Hi, I'm trying to publish an SQL Server Instance through an ISA Server but I'm not being able. I tried to create the rules to allow the SQL protocols and to tunnel the calls from internet into my SQL server. I set the instance to connect through a fix port so it wouldn't worry about not being the default instance and configured that port in the ISA server so the remote calls were channeled into it. I'm allowing only TCP connections. I must be pretty wrong on something because it doesn't work. Can someone offer me a white paper or some step by step instructions to do this? Thanks a lot.
If you were asked to install SQL 2005 on a machine, would u install a default instance or a named one? And why would u choose one over the other?? Also, r there any issues with using a default instance?
I am running SQL2k SP3 with a default instance. I have recently added a second, named instance. When I try to connect to the named instance through Enterprise manager, it often times out. I never get a timeout accessing the default instance. Is there something I missed when setting up the second instance that is causing this access delay?
Hi, all. To use Named instance on the same machine, Do I need to check any license issue? My Company has one server license and wants to use Named instance. thank you..
I did install SQL-server developer edition. During the installation it asked me the name of de instance. I let the installation create the default Named instance.
Now I want to add an instance with a new name. What is the best way to do this? Is this the same as creating a Notification service?
I have sql2000 and sql2005 on one machine. When I try to query a named instance of sql2005 from query analyzer in sql 2000 I recieved an error regarding an entry not being in the sysservers table. I added an entry pointing to the new install of sql2005. Now I get an error message saying Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 2 Line 2: Incorrect syntax near '-'. My server name is BB-SERVER1 It definitly does not like the hyphen. Any thoughts? Changing the server name is not really an option.
