I Can No Longer Connect To My SQL Server Express 2005 From Manager Studio Express
Sep 28, 2006
Everything was working fine. I have been able to connect using windows authentication. Then, I went into the ODBC manager to add a data source and it failed to connect so I went back into the Server management studio to modify users. After doing this I now get an error when I try to conenct the management studio to the SQL server.
I wasn't modifying the login for my windows account that I normally use, I was modifying a different one, however I now get the message "An error has occured while establishing a connection to the SQL server. This kind of problem can ocure because the default behavior of the server does not support all connection methods" blah blah.
Does anyone know how I can attach to the server? Or, do I need to somehow remove the server and create a new one? How would I do that?
Thanks in advance for any input.

I've seen the following error posted when people try to connect to their server via their applications but didn't see anyone having problems when trying to connect with SQL Server Management Studio Express. Am I missing something here? This is the error:<<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: 2)>>The server is not remote so I don't see why I need to enable remote connection. I am also using the default connection settings.

On my home machine without permanent network connections enabled, I cannot get the Management Studio connect to the database server. Always get this error:
Cannot connect ot MPLIAMSQLEXPRESS
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: SQL Network Interfaces, erro: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)(Microsoft SQL Server)
I have used the SQL Surface Area Configuration Tool to reset the defaults to allow remote connections, stopped and restarted the server, but still get the same message.
Please help.

Hi,
I have been working for a few weeks on a local SQL server (express) on my computer all worked ok, until 2 days ago I got the following 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: Shared Memory Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Where can I find the setting for remote connections? Also any idea why this happened?

I used to have both SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL Server Management Studio Express up running just fine until I installed (removed SQL 2005 Express) SQL Server 2005 for Developers and re-installed SQL Server Management Studio Express - now, SQL Server 2005 for Developers works, but I can not start SQL Server Management Studio Express? No error messages, simply nothing happens when I execute ssmsee.exe. Should I be using a different version of Studio?
Thanks, Tor

I am unable to connect to my database on a VPS server using server management studio express. I am able to ping the server. can connect to a local database but i have the same issue as others
Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server
have set the server so that it will allow remote connections and reset the server just to make sure that it has been implemented.
when i use osql in command prompt to make a test connection it tells me this
[SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server
[SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired
[SQL Native Client]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.
on this forum it says to perform a ping and and an a ping a- to my server which does work.
Have been working on this for 3 days and can't figure it out.
Even had a guy in New Zealand who is usually my messiah of SQL and he can't figure it out so I'll be impressed if someone knows the answer.
I will buy a crate of beer for the person who solves this for me as this problem is costing me money! Maybe even 2 if done by end of tomorrow 6pm GMT!
If you don't want the beers, i will be more than happy to give a virtual pat on the back. :-)
If you need any more info, i will be watching this thread like a hawk so i'll happily answer any questions that you may have if i can.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have VS Pro 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005 installed on an XP Pro machine. When using VS 2005, in the 'Server Explorer' window I can see and attach to two SQL Server databases that I have set-up. But if I attempt to access the same databases from withn the 'Solution Explorer' window I get the following dialog box message,
"
Required Component Missing (Dialog box heading)
Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251
"
I have uninstalled and then reinstalled both VS 2005 and SQL Server Express twice but it has helped.
I don't understand why I'm getting this error because all of the server configuration tools and connection utilities seem to work fine but VS say's that SQL Server Express is not installed.
Thanks,
CLN
P.S.
I had another application that required MSDE 2000A to be installed. When I removed the other application I also removed MSDE 2000A and that's when the problem began.

Hi all,
For the first time, I want to set up the configuration of my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to allow me in doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. The SSMSE and VB 2005 Express are in my Windows XP Pro PC that is part of our NT 4 LAN System in our office. I read the article "How to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remotre connections" in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277/ about (i) "Enable remote connections for SQL Server 2005 Express", (ii) Enable the SQL Server Browser service", (iii) Create exception in Windows Firewall, and (iv) Create an exception for the SQL Server Browser service in Windows Firewall. I entered the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration and I could not decide what options I should take for doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. I have the following questions on the page of "Minimize SQL Server 2005 Surface Area":
(1) I saw "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]". I clicked on [change computer] and I saw the
following: Select Computer
The Surface Area Configuration of this surface area of this computer or a remote computer.
Specify a computer to configure: O Local computer
O Remote computer
Should I choose the "Local computer" or the "Remote computer" option?
(2) Below the "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]",
I clicked on "Surface Area Configuration for Service and Connections", Select a component and then configure its services and connections: |-| SQLEXPRESS
|-| Database Engine
Service
I picked => Remote Connection
On the right-hand side, there are: O Local connections only
O Local and remorte connections
O Using TCP/IP
O Using named pipes only
O Using both TCP/IP and named pipes
Should I choose O Local and remorte connections and O Using named pipes only?
Please help and tell me what options I should choose in (1) and (2).
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:

Hi all,
In the last one and half years, I used the Northwind Database in SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to learn the programming of SqlConnections, Data sources, Database Exploere, ADO.NET 2.0, etc. via VB 2005 Express.
The Northwind Database in my SSMSE got lost very often, but I was not aware of it. How can I know where the Northwind Database is used or processed by my VB 2005 Express projects that were the examples of some tutorial books or my trial projects? How can I release the Northwind Database back to my SSMSE from the VB 2005 Express projects? Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,

Hey all! I am new in this form and also new with the SQL serve. I have installed that free express edition of SQL server 2005 and when i am trying to connect to server from my C#.net application i am not able to do it and when i am trying to degug it gives me the error that is the user is not SQL thrusted user. I am able to connect directly thru SQL server using this userid and password but not thru VWD 2005 Express application.
I have read online that so many people are having that problem. so is it the problem of swl server Express edition or do i have to make some setting to connect to the application.
Please please please please someone guide me . I am stuck here in the beginning only. I would really appreciate it.
the code that i wrote is here:----
using System.Data.SqlClient;
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
}
}
protected void Submit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
String querry;
SqlDataReader dbread;
try
{
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["Conn1"]);
SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand();
conn.Open();
querry = " Select password from login where userId='" + TxtUser.Text + "'";
comm.CommandText = querry;
comm.Connection = conn;
dbread = comm.ExecuteReader();
dbread = null;
if (dbread.HasRows)
{
while (dbread.Read())
{
if (dbread["password"].ToString() == Txtpwd.Text)
{
Response.Redirect("home.aspx");
}
}
Response.Write("Your Password Doesn't Match");
}
else
{
Response.Write("Your User Name Is Wrong");
}
conn.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)

Please, I use tyhe Visual Studion 2005 SQL Server Express Edition Management Studio (SMSE) to create the backend database and trying to set the connectionstring from the web config file, but what I continue to get as an error is that "<computername>/ASPNET" login failed for that user, cannot login to the Management Studio.
This is my expression from the web config file

</connectionStrings>
Is there anything I do wrong? Please, I need to solve this and it's urgent.Thanks

hello there,
I appreciate any help on the following issue:
When I want to connect to a local report server on as shown in the "Reporting Services Tools" tutorial (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-au/library/aa337424.aspx), the SSMSE does not show the option "Reporting Services" in the "Server type" drop down list in the "Connect to server" dialog.
The tutorial says "In the Server type list, select Reporting Services. If Reporting Services is not on the list, it is not installed."
This must be wrong as the SSCM clearly shows an installed and running "SQL Server Reporting Service (...)".
Also if i call the webinterface (http://localhost/reports/) a page loads that says "SQL Server Reporting Services Home" with some options. And here something is not correct too. The "contents" tab of the report manager says "There are no items in Home."
I started to work on some basic tutorials using the sql server business development studio, and everything works fine. I can create reports, which derive data from the AdventureWorks db properly.
Can anyone tell me the adequate steps to fix the SSMSE connection problem and the webinterface view problem?
Here are some additional informations:
I use WinXP SP2, which makes the IIS version 5.1
SQL server is 2005 express with advanced features
and i installed the management toolkit, and the AdventureWorks db.
Installation history is as follows:
.NET framework 2.0 + VS2005 professional edition was installed
1. installed ss2005express+advanced features, on a named instance. worked fine. I did not install the SSMSE at this point, as i knew it is included in the toolkit too.
2. configured the reporting services through the "reporting services configuration" tool. worked fine.
3. installed the management tool kit. worked fine.
4. installed the AdventureWorks db. installed, but was not attached automaticaly to the database engine.
5. attached the AdventureWorks db to the database engine manually. worked fine, can be viewed and accessed properly.
So there I am. I have no clue what went wrong.
A last hint that makes me think is this: In the SSCM the sql server an the sql server reporting services have different instance ids (MSSQL.1 and MSSQL.2 respectively).
Thanks in advance for your solutions and hints, that is - for your time :-)

Hi all, I'm having a little trouble connecting to a SQLExpress instance on a remote domain using SQL Server Management Studio Express.I've read that by default the program is set up locally only, so have edited the Surface Area Configuration. It only gives me the option to edit 'Services and Connections' on the localhost, but have edited the Remote Connections to use TCP/IP and Named Pipes. In the Management Studio, I enter the server name, and login credentials. On the Connection Properties tab I changed the network protocol to TCP/IP though everytime I attempt to connect I get the following error message: Any help would be greatly appreciated. Rich

Hi, all
I installed SQL 2005 express edition in my pc (Pro XP), then I can login from SQL 2005 Managerment Studio Express. After a few days later, I can't do it and an error message as belows:
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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
It seems that the default setting does not allow remote connections, however, I connected it before and havn't change any setting. I try to reinstall the studio express but still not working.
Any idea / solution will be welcome.

I'm having a problem connecting with a Java application but I CAN connect using my .Net application - the user name and password are the same for both (using the same database on SQL Server Express 2005).
The error I get is: "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot open database "CORNERS" requested by the login. The login failed." An interesing note - I get the same message if the database is not running.
SQL Server Express 2005 is installed in mixed mode.
Here is my connection string in the .Net appplication: <add key="connectString" value="Server=(local);UID=sa;PWD=myPasswd;Database=CORNERS" />.
These are my values in my Java app web.xml -
<init-param>
<param-name>DBDriver</param-name>
<param-value>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBURL</param-name> <param-value>jdbc:sqlserver://localhostsqlexpress:1055;databaseName=CORNERS</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBUser</param-name>
<param-value>sa</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBPwd</param-name>
<param-value>myPasswd</param-value>
</init-param>.
And yes, the port is 1055 - I checked to find it.
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.0 (sqljdbc_1.0.809.102).
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong so that the login fails in the Java application but works in the .Net application?

I recently installed SQL Server Management Studio Express, and used it to connect remotely to SQL Server 2005 Express. The first connect worked fine. It was suggested to me to update ODBC drivers to connect to the server using Microsoft Access. In doing so, I found what I thought were Studio Express updates and tried to install them. From then on, I could no longer access the server. The error was a nebulous one that indicated that is could not find the server.
I verified that the the server was set up correctly by installing Studio Express on another machine, and it connected fine.
I uninstalled and reinstalled. When I ran it, I did not get the "first time use" routine, and still could not connect. I reinstalled MDAC with my Windows XP sp2 disk and reinstalling Studio Express, and still could not connect.
I started a thread - http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?postid=2557611&siteid=1 - on SQL Server Express foram, and they verified that the server was set up correctly. They suggested that the client network protocol stack on your computer is broken. They suggested I post here to seek help in fixing it.
Any help would be much appreciated.

This is what I have done.
1. Installed VB.NET IDE 2008 and SQL Server Compact 2005. IDE requires upgrade of database to 3.0 version which I allowed it to do. After the database was upgraded, I did an amount of coding work in the IDE and then tried to go back to do more database work in SQL. However the database then could not be opened in SQL Server Compact 2005. An error said that because it had been upgraded, it could not be read. It was requiring me to run 'upgrade.exe'. I had no idea what this meant and could find no upgrade available online.
2. Removed VB.NET IDE 2008 and installed 2005 instead. However, the file extension on the SQL Server Compact database is .sdf, but the IDE is requiring a .mdf extension. I have tried everything I can think of to get it to save or to have the desired extension, but I cannot.
Questions:
1. Do SQL Express 2005 and VB Studio Express 2008 work together?
2. If so, how?
It seems as though application each requires a different version of the database. If the database is usable in one, it is not usable in another.
Thanks for the help.
