Local SQL Server Instances Not Showing Up On Local Servers Tab Of Management Studio Logon Screen
Oct 2, 2007
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.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig

Hello,
I just installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise edition from my company's DVD. It was installed with the setting of using both Integrated windows authenitication as well as basic named authenication. I installed all the options too: Database Engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services, SQL Server compact edition, and Integration Services. When I look at services there are: SQL Server Integration Services, SQL Server Analysis Services, SQL Server Reporting Services, and SQL Server Browser. All of which are running. Something that took me offguard was the installation did not ask me to provide an SA password. Other than that, the install looked like it went good.
I was able to connect to the local instance of the SQL Server 2005 using the SQL Server Management Studio. I could connect with SA, or connect with Integrated Windows Authenication. Whoohoo. Off and running! As a matter of fact, for the SA account I could use any password and it would still log me in.
First thing I did was I went in to the copy wizard to attempt to copy a database from a server on our network to my local box. First it asked me for the remote server. Then when I specified my local instance in the wizard, the wizard complained that my local instance was NOT SQL Server 2005. Doh! This I didn't understand. I figured maybe I need to check for MS updates. Sure enough, I found that ther was a SP2 and then a hot-fix for that SP2. I applied both. Now I cannot connect from SQL Server Management studio to my local instance of SQL Server 2005 database server. I get the following error:
"An error 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)"
However, I went in to see what other services I could connect to, and here's the results:
Analysis Services : OK!
Reporting Services (Windows Auth/Basic/Forms) : NG "The reporting Services Instance could not be found (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient)"
SQL Server Compact Edition : NG "The database cannot be found. Check the path to the database. [ File Name = CCG092 ] (SQL Server Compact Edition ADO.NET Data Provider)
Integration Services : OK!
I can connect to other SQL Server databases on our network. However, just not my local one. No one on the network can connect to me either.
I even turned off my windows firewall and still no luck connecting to my own.
So something really went wrong when I applied SP2, however, admittedly from the error message when I tried to use the copy wizard, something was probably already wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Can't connect to local server instance MSSQLSERVER in SQL Server Management Studio (SQL2005 sp2/Vista).
SQL Server Configuration Manager reports SQL Server2005 services: SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) Running. This would indicate the name of the SQL server is "MSSQLSERVER" correct? I chose "default" instance during the install and that is the name it gave itself.
I tried connecting to the server using the following for the Server Name: MSSQLSERVER and .MSSQLSERVER neither works.
The only thing that works for my installation is just plain "." (no quotes) and nothing else. Can this be correct because I can't find any reference to this. Thanks.

I am not able to connect my local SQL Server Management Studio to a remote server hosting our Integration Services. I get the infamous "Access Denied". I have walked through Kirk Haselden's howto at:

but the problem persists.
Thanks for any help.

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.

i created a layout in visual studio 2005 with the proper dimensions to print on an Avery 5160 label sheet (3 labels across and 10 down)
in the Body properties, i set Columns to 3, ColumnSpacing to 0.125", and Size 2.625" (W) & 1" (H).
i created a list table with a text box of the same dimension as the Size in the Body.
the thing is when i go to preview the report in visual studio, it just shows all the data but only in one column, but if i click the Print Layout button, it shows all 3 columns, then when i print it, it works! so i assumed that this was just the way visual studio handled the data. no big deal...
the problem is when i upload this to the reporting services on our local intranet and run it from the reporting services, it shows only one column (the left most only) and prints that way too; it's almost like i need a Print Layout button on the reporting services (which there isn't one).
is there something that i need to set so that it will print in 3-column form from the reporting services so people can print on label sheets?
i hope this makes sense. also, i tested this on the same printer just to make sure it wasn't hardware.

Hi there,Got a small tech support problem. We gave our manual writer an installerthat should install SQL Server (MSDE) and our software. Over the phone I'vemanaged to ascertain that SQL Server is installed (it is running as aservice, along with SQL Server Agent), but it does not show up in "ComputerManagement -> Services and Applications". I need to set the permissions forthis user (over the phone!) in order to get our test software to work andyet it does not show here. What am I doing wrong? (and/or why would theMSDE instance not show up here?).Thanks,Robin

I am not sure if this is possible or not, but I have to at least ask.
I have a SQL Reporting Services project that has a QA server version and then a Production server version. So when requested changes are made to the reports, I make the changes in Visual Studio and then push to QA. After the changes have been tested and approved, I then push the changes to the Production server.
I have come across an issue, where requested changes were made in Visual Studio (a lot of changes), and pushed to QA. The users now have changed their minds and they want instead to stay with what is in production. So, I am looking for a way to recover the report file on the production web server, bring it back into my visual studio project to replace the report that I had changed.
Is this possible, or will I have to start over and step one and reverse the changes in Visual Studio.
Let me know.
Thank you,
T.J.

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?
Thanks,

I am having a problem accessing my local A: drive, using the bulk insert command. The actual sql server pc thinks I am accessing its sql server's A: and not my local a: drive. I am trying to read in a simple CSV delimited ascii file into a sql table. Wow what a nightmare just to read a simple ascii file into a table. Unfortunatley I am writing a program in VB.net for an operator to import ascii data from floppy diskettes.
I am using this command below: The command works fine but I have to go to the actual server and put the floppy disk in over there. I want the operator to be able to use there own A: or any location drive for that matter. Sql server over the network is not allowing us to access any local drive to import this data. I get an error 21 because the sql server does not have the floppy in its drive. It seems like some kind of security issue, but I am not sure. Any information would be most appreciated in this matter. Thanks in advance.
Sarah Diane Reid
sample code below:
BULK INSERT Master.dbo.imVBMbAddress
FROM 'a:mbAddressPipes.txt'
WITH (FORMATFILE = 'a:importdatambaddress.fmt',
FIRSTROW=2);

Hi Everyone
I am at the stage of architecting my solution
My goal is to develop the system on a windows application and pda
There is a central server which will create a publication called inventory
The laptops which host the windows application will be subscribers to the central server using merge replication
The client now wants the PDA using SQL Mobile to synchronize with the local subscirber database on the laptop using active sync. They dont want to do it via WIFI to the IIS Server at the central server
I have been reading for days and I am still unsure whether this is possible to do.
I know Appforge provide a conduit for palm to access synchronization but not local sql databases
I would appreciate your help immensley

I have used SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) and Visual Basic 2005 Express (VBE) for more than one year to pick up the Transect-SQL, ADO.NET 2.0, SQL Server 2005 Express, SQLCLR, etc. Yesterday, I used SSEUtil to execute:
C:SSEUtil>SSEUtil -l
I got the following:
1. master
2. tempdb
3. model1
4. msdb

I created some VBE projects and used some examples from some tutorial books and websites in the past. But, I thought that user instance timeout is 60 minutes and user instances should be gone after 60 minutes. Why do I have the above-mentioned user instances remained in SSEUtil now? Please explain this thing for me.

I have multiple web databases for storefront orders as linked servers on SQL Server 2008 R2. I need to organize the data for these orders into a structure that can be imported into my ERP application db frequently either on demand or periodically during the day. We are essentially trying to make the manual order entry process automated. My thought was to get the data into views that resemble the schema of the order table in my application db and then schedule a stored procedure with sql jobs or a load routine from within the ERP application that would insert data from the view into the order table.

I am backing up a database as follows:
backup database PPLicense to disk = 'D:License.bak'
I have run this 5 times. If I know run this command:
restore headeronly from disk = 'D:License.bak'
I can see 5 entries returned this all looks good. In SQL Management studio I try and restore this database by selecting the file. The Restore Database dialog only shows the last backup set position i.e. position 5 and now the 4 before it. Why is this not showing the 4 previous backups?
I am using SQL Server 2012 SP 2 (Version 11.0.3460).

I receive the following error when trying to add a local database to my project.
"The data provider required to connect to the local data file could not found. The file will be added to the project but the typed DataSet associated with the file will not be generated."
I've reinstalled VS2k8, SQL Compact 3.1 and SQL Compact 3.5 on my machine and still receive the error.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I saw another similar thread about this in the VB2k8Express forum, but there were no helpful answers there. (for the curious: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2769854&SiteID=1)
I haven't used the SSCE before and so it's possible I've mistakenly omitted some required items.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have recently installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express but I do not find Management Tools in order to create scheduled backups and shrinking of the databases. I was under the impression that this should be included in the Management Studio. I use the SQL 2005 Express for smaller customers who run the SQL on a desktop unit. I need a way to backup the data to a server machine for backup purposes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.

I have a database in my "App_Data" folder of my visual studio project. I can view it fine in Visual Studio's built-in tools for managing a database attached to a solution. However i recently started playing around with the SQL Server Management Studio Express program. When i attach my database to Management Studio, and try to run my program it crashes. I think it might be a permissions error?!? When i detatch it and reattach it in visual studio it runs fine again. Any suggestions? ThanksJason

I am new to visual studio and I am still not sure of all its components and features.
I installed visual studio 2005 standard edition but cannot find SQL Server Management Studio?
I guess this must be because it is not included with Visual studio 2005 standard. Is it included with VS 2005 professional?
I want to add pictures of products to my shopping site using an SQL database and I’ve been told that SQL Server Management studio is required as it is a graphical tool.
How would I go about obtaining the SQL server management studio. There seems to be different versions of SQL server that it is confusing to know which one to purchase.
Will the SQL server 2005 version that comes with Visual studio standard be sufficient for me now right? I want to create a shopping site with hundreds, perhaps even thousands of products. I want to use an SQL server 2005 database. The database will include ‘dynamically generated’ product images if that is the correct terminology.
My goodness, it seems I still have so much to learn.
Thanks

I folks. I have something going on with my local SQL instance. It's SQL 2000 Standard with SP3a on a W2k3 Server with SP1. It's been running fine for several months. I got brave over the weekend and broke something.
I installed the .Net Enterprise Architect and SQL Reporting Services. My SQL instance is still running, but I can't get to it through EM and SQLServerAgent won't start. When I try to start SQLServerAgent manually, it gets about halfway through the process, then shuts itself down again. I also have an MSDE instance that is not complaining at all.
I can get to the server from my applications. I can also register it in EM with the IP and get to it that way.
Here's what's in sqlagent.out:
2007-01-02 16:34:41 - ! [298] SQLServer Error: 6, Specified SQL server not found. [SQLSTATE 08001]
2007-01-02 16:34:41 - ! [298] SQLServer Error: 11004, ConnectionOpen (Connect()). [SQLSTATE 01000]
2007-01-02 16:34:41 - ! [000] Unable to connect to server '(local)'; SQLServerAgent cannot start
2007-01-02 16:34:42 - ? [098] SQLServerAgent terminated (normally)
I did confirm in the registry that the port is set to 1433. It's not blank or incorrect. I am also working with a local account that is in the administrators group. There is no AD structure at work.
Many thanks for any ideas. This one feels like a little needle in a big haystack.
