How To Check Using If SQL Server Is Running On A Remote Computer
Jan 21, 2004
I am about designing an access project file that connect to a SQL Server database : it could be either on the local computer or a remote workstation, this depending on where the front end is running.
Bypassing the default log on dialog box i have set my own form that users should use to connect on adp. Then using baseconnection string i connect the adp to sql server database.
My concern is how can i check from vba if the instance of SQL Server where my back end database is located is running in order to make
users knowing that due sql server service status off their connection
tentative will fail.
inform u i can check same from console management however i would to automate same controle from my adp and avoid that users have to operate such task...

I am unable to connect to a remote server on Computer A from Computer B, but when I reverse it I am able to connect to a remote server on computer B from computer A. I have SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on both computers. I am using the using the SQL Management Studio to connect. Both Computers have these settings
Using Surface Area Configuration both have local and remote connections checked. Both computers using tcp/ip only checked.
Using Configuration Manager both the sql server and the sql browser are running. Both computers have tcp/ip protocols enabled.
Under the server properties on both computers, under the Security Tab, I have SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode checked. Under the Connections tab I have Allow remote connections on this server checked.
I believe I have the Security for both the server and databases done properly giving them both proper Logins and User Roles with the proper permission.
Also went to my window firewall settings and under the Exceptions tab, I added both the sql server.exe and sql browser.exe programs on both computers on my remote network.
But when I connect on Computer B, I get an error message stating:
TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------
Cannot connect to 'ServerName'
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 233)

BUTTONS:

I tried pinging server a and then server b and they both pinged.
Could someone please tell me what could be wrong on my remote computers.

Hi all
I am about updating some fields with local date and time using blw API
Quote
Private Declare Sub GetLocalTime Lib "kernel32" (lpSystemTime As SYSTEMTIME)
Public Function LocalDateTime()
Dim MyTime As SYSTEMTIME
GetLocalTime MyTime
Debug.Print "The Local Date is:" & MyTime.wMonth & "-" & MyTime.wDay & "-" & MyTime.wYear
Debug.Print "The Local Time is:" & MyTime.wHour & ":" & MyTime.wMinute & ":" & MyTime.wSecond
End Function
Unquote
This works fine however due to it's not really easy for an administrator to keep checking every times wheter local date and time are correctly updated for each front end users computer i would that to reconsider my function and making it to read local date and time from remote SQL Server. my concern is to help administrator to save time as he should only need to ensure that Server is running with correct time...
thkx for any advise

I have a stored procedure that references another stored procedure on a linked server. I would like to check if the linked server is running prior to accessing the stored procedure. Everything I have tried returns either message 11 or 17 and terminates the stored procedure. I would like to do some cleanup before the termination. Is there any way to check this?

Hi,
I have my SQL server installed and running on a windows 2003 server. Sometimes, the server stops unexpectedly. I want to know if there is any mechanism to alert as and when the SQL server or SQL server agent goes down.
I guess everything is a windows service. Can we have a mechanism to test this service from a script and send an alert mail when the server goes down? How can this be done from a script?
Thanks in advance

Hi All,
I created SP and enabled db_datareader and db_datawriter for roles for BUILTINUsers on database level.
I can call that SP from my application if I am accessing DB from my app running on the same machine. If I run app on other machine SP throw exception related to lack of permission.
I fixed that by enabling db_owner roles for BUILTINUsers. But it is not good fix from security point of view.
My question is: is there any other way to allow regular user to run that SP by not giving him db_owner privileges?
Also I have to mention that my SP procedure has some dynamic SQL code.
I would greatly appreciate any help,
Thanks,
Roman

I'm attempting to connect to an SQL Server Express database from a remote PC, but it isn't connecting. I have a user account created in the database, and I'm using the SQL authentication with that user account. I have success with this if I'm on the server that the database is on, but not remotely. Both are on the same network, even plugged into the same hub. There doesn't appear to be any network problems.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Friends,
I am currently trying to develop a small Windows Mobile Application with SQL server Mobile edition.
To develop this , I followed this link http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa454892.aspx
As I dint find Vendors.sdf database I created My own Database with student table. My database name is MyDB. I created both Mobile database (.sdf) and the same database in sql server 2005
when I run the application I can update the database upto the mobile with no problem. But when I try to Sync I am facing the following exception at the following code.
private void SyncVendors()
{
if (File.Exists(this.DataFileName))
{
this.SaveData();
_repl.Synchronize(); //exception is raised at this line
this.GetData();
}
else
MessageBox.Show("The subscription database has not yet been created. You must first select the Init Sync menu item.");
}
For the replication I used
private void InitReplication()
{
_repl.InternetUrl = @"http://XXXXXXXX/MyDB/sqlcesa30.dll";\ for security reasons I am not using my system name
_repl.Publisher = @"XXXXXXXXX";
_repl.PublisherDatabase = @"MyDB";
_repl.PublisherSecurityMode = SecurityType.NTAuthentication;
_repl.Publication = @"MyDB";
_repl.Subscriber = @"MyDB";
_repl.SubscriberConnectionString = this.DataSourceConnectionString;
_repl.LoginTimeout = 120;
//_repl.InternetLogin = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX€?; //Timely I used these 2
//_repl.InternetPassword = "XXXXXX€?;
}
"An unhandled exception of type 'System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException' occurred in System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
Additional information: Failure to connect to SQL Server with provided connection information. SQL Server does not exist, access is denied because the IIS user is not a valid user on the SQL Server, or the password is incorrect."
Or (Some times when I change the Directory Security in IIS)
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException' occurred in System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
Additional information: Authentication failed on the computer running IIS
I tried in many ways like
Ø Resetting the firewalls ( to web server(http))
Ø In sql server I set " using both TCT/IP and named pipes
Ø In IIS virtual directory--> directory security à settings I used anonymous, base authentication, integrated Authentication. The same exception with any authentication.
Ø SQL Server Management studio à view à Registered Server Types à SQL Server Mobile. Here I added my data base MyDB.sdf.
Ø SQL Server CE Connectivity Management à selected my database à and select authentications
this is my log in virtual directory

Hi,
We have unreliable circuits connecting our office to remote sql servers. At our office I need to delete/insert a bunch of records from those remote locations. Since the connection is unreliable what is the best way to check if a server is available before executing delete/insert statements. A few points to consider:
1. I want this to be done in SQL
2. I have a cursor that cycles through a tabe that contains the name of the linked servers. The cursure is used to delete/insert a bunch of records from each remote server.
3. If one server is unavailable the stored proc should continue to the next sql server (next record in the cursor.)
Thanks,
Bradley

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.

Greetings friends,
Not sure if this is the right place for my question but here goes anyway.
I have an instance of SQL Server 2005 installed on my DEV PC. A colleague of mine wants to access my server from his machine which connected to the same network.
I logged on to SSMS and added him as a new login.
Will he be able to connect to it now or do I have to do more than just that?
Your help would be appreciated.

Hello,
is there any way to execute a SSIS package at the SQL Server programatically from a remote computer? (I use .net 2)
I don't need variables or return values, I only want to start the package. I know that it is easier to do that job with a webservice etc on the SQL Server but I cannot use such.
A method to call a package from a stored procedure would also help me a lot
Kind regards, _Rodney_

I have 2 xp machines one has the SQL EXPRESS Server with all the goodies on it and the other I just install the client stuff. I am using VB 6 to program with using the ADO. It works great on the server machine. The software pulls up great. I can't seem to get it to work on the client machine. I get "Login failed for user 'TIGGERLGuest'. I found the places to set the TCPIP setings on the server SQL Express to allow this even turned on the browser but nothing same error. I am using the same login on both machines and am pointed to the same workgroup. I used window authentication when I set them up. Not sure why it insists on using Guest.
This is a copy of the connection string I am using
"Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;AttachDBFileName="c:mpsdbmpswarehouse.mdf;Database=MPSDB;Data Source=tiggerlsqlexpress;Trusted_Connection=yes;"
Not sure if this is okay for connecting remote. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi all. I am a bit new to SQL but I have studied much info, BOL, various best practices and so on. The problem is - I cannot find any tutorial which could tell me step by step how to set SQL server on a PC and connect to it from another computer (they all are on a domain). So I decided that I am doing something wrong...
I have done the following (all is done on virtual PCs):
1.I have installed a virtual PC with windows 2003, which acts as a domain controller.
2.I installed Win2003 on a second PC and added it to the domain. Installed MS SQL Server 2005 and SP2 on it. Server uses Windows auth. and all the services are running from a dedicated domain account which I added on the first PC.
I added a domain account (let's call it USER_X) to the SQL server Security/Logins
Everything is OK locally, I can connect to the server using USER_X from the same PC.
3.I installed Win2003 on a second PC and added it to the domain. Installed MS SQL Server 2005 client componenst, SSMS and SP2 on it. Logged on as USER_X. And tried to connect to the PC number 2. And failed. SSMS gives an error (1396) Named pipes error "Could not open a connection to SQL server". But the server appears on the list if I click Server name->Browse for more->Network servers. Why I cannot connect to it if I see it?
Tried to enable Windows and SQL auth, created a pure SQL user USER_Y, checked locally - ok, can connect. But cannot connect as USER_Y from the third PC.
Finally
4.I installed Win2003 on a fourth PC (did not add it to the domain). Installed MS SQL Server 2005 and SP2 on it. Server uses Windows and SQL auth. Enabled Windows and SQL auth, again created a pure SQL user USER_Y, checked locally - ok, can connect. And checked connection from the third PC - I can connect fine as SQL USER_Y to the SQL server on a PC which is not on the domain but cannot connect as SQL USER_Y to the SQL server on a PC which is on the domain!
What am I doing wrong? How to connect from a PC on a domain to another SQL server on the same domain? It is just a basic config which (I think) SQL admins have gone through many times but I am stuck.
Help, please! I hope to hear from someone who has installed SQL server on a domain and successfully created remote connections.
Thanks.
