I installed a MSDE on a Windows XP SP2 and configured it for accepting remote connections. But It shows the "SQL Server doesnot exist or connection denied" message whenever I try to connect to this server. For more information I am adding more facts
* It is an MSDE and not a WMSDE
* Firewall is turned off
* Server process is listening on 0.0.0.0:1433
* TCP/IP and Named Pipes are enabled using server network utility
* LoginMode=2 is set for mixed mode authentication in the registry
* Tried restaring the Process and even windows after the changes.
Just stumbled over the interesting bug - if you have an SQLExpress server and the "allow remote connection" in SQL Instance is turned ON, it doesn't means that it works if you create some aliases for this instance
If Im trying to connect to SQLExpress via new created alias ('localhost' for example) I got the "SQL Server does not allow remote connections" error. Albeit, connecting to ".SQLExpress" is successful. I've checked the properties of locahost DB instance in SQL Management Studio - remote connection is allowed. I've restarted the SQLExpress instance. There is no SQLServer or other instances on my PC
But it doesn't work
How to fix this and allows to connect to sql instance via aliases?
Overview. I am converting over from MSDE to SQL Express. My front end program is unable to connect to the database. To troubleshoot, from the remote computer I tried connecting with the management program and I get the Error 26 unable to connect.
(The connection string worked previously (yesterday) when using MSDE as the server. When I installed SQL Express I named it the same instance as the server name under MSDE. I also use server authtication on both with same user name and password. As stated below I cannot connect using the managment console.)
Here is what I have done: I made sure that the SQL Server configuration has been changed to allow network connections (both TCP and named pipes). I have disable windows firewall on both machines. I confirmed that I can connect from the remote machined to the server by network browsing. Both machines are running XP Proff. There is no other security software running on either machine.
More Info. when attempting to log on I am using the server authntication, I use "sa" as the user id plus my password.
Goal. The front end of database program connects to the server remotely using a program called Hamachi over the internet. This works without a problem on MSDE. But for now I am simply try to connect using the managment program which lets you browse for other serves. When I do this it shows the remote computer, but not the name of the computer but not the SQL server which I type in like the following: "INTELsql1"
What I have not Done: I have not changed any permissions or added any users to the server, since this does not seem necessary. As stated the user of remote machine can connect to the server and change files.
Would appreciate any suggestions or tips. Thanks. I HAVE READ THE POST FROM MAY 13, 2007 AND TAKEN ALL STEPS SUGGESTED EXCEPT MAKING SURE THE BROWSERS SERVICE IS RUNNING ON SERVER WHICH I WILL DO NOW.
I'm having a big problem with a SQL 2K5 cluster (using standard edition). I can get onto the box and connect to the sql server locally fine. However when I try to connect remotely I get errors.
Let's call the two sides of the cluster, CL1 and CL2 and the "virtual server" is CL3. Locally I can connect without any problem at all to the SQL server, but I just can't connect to it from any remote machine.
The server in question is instance name LMS_PRD running on CL3, port 10051. TCP/IP is definitely enabled for local and remote connections (I have checked this in the SQL server surface area configuration). I can connect locally without any problem. Also, locally, if I do,
telnet CL3 10051
it connects fine
From a SQL 2000 box - when I try to connect from sql query analyzer, I get
"Unable to connect to server LMS_PRD Server Msg 17 ... SQL server does not exist or access denied"
Client network utility shows server alias - LMS_PRD, TCP/IP, CL3LMS_PRD,10051
[I can connect to other SQL 2005 servers OK from this same server using this same method]
On this box, when I do telnet CL3 10051 , I get "Connecting to CL3...Could not open a connection to host on port 10051 : Connect failed"
[When I do a similar one for another SQL 2005 box, "telnet U01 10051", it connects fine]
From another SQL 2005 box - when I try to register the server, I get
"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: TCP provider, error 0 - No connection could be made because thew target machine actively refused it.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10061)"
IN the SQL native client configuration it shows alias name - CL3LMS_PRD, server=CL3LMS_PRD, protocol tcp, parameters 10051
Again if I do telnet CL3 10051, I get the error above.
From this same box I can register another SQL 2005 server without any problem and do the telnet to it OK
Just to emphasise:
(a) The SQL server configuration manager shows that TCP/IP is enabled, and that 10051 is the port (in IPALL, TCP port). Also I have checked the SQL server errorlog - it is definitely using 10051 as the port.
(b) The SQL server surface area configuration shows under local and remote connections using both TCP/IP and named pipes selected (I've tried both this and the using tcp/ip only option)

Where <IPADDRESS> is the Ip address of the remote machine and <INSTANCENAME> is the MSDE instance name. Is this correct? If not, what am I doing wrong?
I'moving my asp application to a new hosting server.
So when i tried the setup locally with the live DB & application in my test machine... The DB access is denied when application tries to hit the DB.
DB is in seperate machine with SQL Server 2000 & application(ASP) is in Windows server 2003..... Kindly help me with your suggestions....on what went wrong?
My site works fine in VWD2008 express, but I get this error when I try to use it on my live website. 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. According to this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277 I am supposed to:
1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Surface Area Configuration. Ok, there is no such program in this folder. The only thing in there is "SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting"... The other thing I am greatly concerned with is this: All is want is for my webpages to be able to access my database for user authentication. I DO NOT want to grant the internet rights to remote connect to my database.
I get the following error and have been trying to figure out why I keep getting it. Initially, I had placed my project under wwwroot folder and ran it under IIS and it gave this error. Then I moved it to my local C drive and same thing. I am sharing this project with two other co-workers and all our config files and code files are same...they don't get this error but I do. I checked that SQL Server Client Network Utility has TCP/IP and the 'Named Pipes' enabled. I thought maybe I have setting in the Visual Studio 2005 that I'm not aware of that's causing this problem...it can't be the server since my co-workers aren't having this error and can't be anything in the code since all of us are sharing this project through vss. I dont' think using different version of .net framework can create this error. I changed the version from 2.0 to use 1.1x and it gave same error... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

But it gets through the install, then the progress bar goes backwards and it uninstalled, I tried to enable logging and do /q+ but none of this gives usable information, i have redownloaded the MSDE SP3 install files and this has changed nothing, I know this is a common problem as I have seen a few sites mention it, but i can't seem to find the fix.
I am getting an error when installing SP3a of MSDE. I get the error message "The instance name specified is invalid." This is the first SQL database installed, so there is no instance name. I have tried "default" and "MSSQLSERVER" as instance names without success.

I installed MSDE at my server at home, and that works fine. On the server I can access my MSDE perfectly. But, from a remote computer it seems impossible to connect.
Some (maybe) important information:
To create a user at my msde I used:
sp_addlogin (@ the MASTER DB) sp_adduser (@ My DB) sp_addrolemember (@ My DB)
Then I runned SVRNETCN.exe and enabled TCP/IP.
btw: I don't have a firewall running and both computers are on the same local network.
3 of 100 MSDE servers' sql agent stop working with 'sqlAgent servise has marked as deleted'.
1. is there a way to fix this service could not start issue? 2. probably not. before moving all DBs to a new MSDE server, I run scripts on daily via isql to these 3 MSDE to run the daily backup and dbcc jobs. The problem is I could forget to run.
I tried to run following: backup database remote1.db1 to Backup_db1 with init so that I could run a job from my server on scheduling time. but it did not work. Any idea to turn manual process to semi-weapon? thanks -D
I have an SSIS package which runs subsequent packages in a batch. When I run the main package through command line or a SQL job and connect to a data warehouse that is on the same machine, it runs without a problem. When I try and connect to a warehouse on a remote machine (ideal configuration), it fails with this error:
Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available.

This seems to happen on random subpackages and isn't always consistent.

I have 2 pcs connected each other and one has the MSDE installed, i would like to access PC1 MSDE instance remotly is this possible or MSDE couldn't be used in network environment and just locally?
My question is, is it possible to connect to an SQL database using the MSDE 2000 SP3a edition over the internet? And if so, how do I set it up? Thank you in advance.
We currently have a production server (prodserver) and backup server (backupserver) in the same domain, and I am attempting to backup dbs from the production box on to the backup box using the following:
backup database db to disk = '\backupservere$ackupdb.bak' with init
when executing from SSMS, I receive the following error:
Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot open backup device '\backupservere$ackupdb.bak' Operating system error 1326 (Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password)
Here's where the issue lies for me:
Both the production and backup box are running services under the same domain accounts, let's call it "domainsqlagent"
domainsqlagent has domain admin rights on backupserver and prodserver
I can login to both the production and backup servers using the domain account, map drives, hit administrative shares, drag and drop files, etc between the servers
If I use xp_cmdshell to try and simply move a file between prodserver and backupserver, I receive the above error as well. However, if I open an cmd window and execute the move command from DOS, it will successfully move.
There is a development server on the domain as well (devserver) using domainsqlagent to run the service accounts, and I can successfully backup databases from dev to prod, dev to backup, backup to dev, backup to prod, prod to dev, but NOT prod to backup Finally, if I create a maintenance plan in SSMS, I cannot create a connection to the backup server (error reads the connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection)
The backup server was changed to a different domain (domain2) before I arrived here, but has been switched back now, rebooted, service accounts changed via Configuration Manager, services restarted (and rebooted again for good measure). Does SSMS use a different security context to create the connections to remote servers? From all my tests, the domainsqlagent account has all the correct rights and is working OK. Could this be a network issue? The network admin and I have been banging our heads against a wall for the past couple of days, so if anyone has seen something like this, I'd appreciate any help.
I'm getting "Access denied" error when I try to connect to SSIS from my desktop (Database Engine is fine). I'm a member of sysadmin within SQL, as well as an administrator on the server. I don't have any problem when I log on to the server directly via Remote Desktop and open SSIS.
I went into the surface area config tool, and I see that Database Engine and Analysis Services both expand and have a sub tabs to enable Services and Remote Connections, but Integration Services does not expand to a Remote Connections option, just Services. We're running MSDN Enterprise edition.
Does it matter if all the SQL services are using "Local System" for the logon ? I use an administrative logon on my SQL2000 boxes, and was fiddling with them on the 2005 box yesterday, but it seemed to cause more problems, so they are all Local System for now.
We just installed an application, WhatsUpGold, to monitor our servers. Management won't let me host that on my primary SQL box. So, we are using MSDE on the local machine (call that box my_netmon).
I can access the db with very basic functionality using osql while on the my_netmon machine. I've added my domain user account as a System Admin using the following commands.
exec sp_grantlogin @name go
exec sp_addsrvrolemember @name, 'sysadmin'
But when I go to the my_sql machine and try to attach to it with Enterprise Manager I get an error that the server does not exist.
What gives??? Is it just not possible, or am I missing something here?
My goal is to just be able to see the data stored in the MSDE db. Write views, etc...
Hi. I'm (very) new to SQL Server. I have run into what seems to be a very common problem, judging by the number of Google hits, but it's not actually in the FAQs here, as far as I can see.
Situation I installed SQL Server Express with Advanced Services 2005 on my Windows XP Pro laptop, using (with one exception) the default install. The exception was to put the data files on a separate partition (D: ) where I have more free space.
SQL Server Management Studio Express connects happily, and I set up a single data import table.
Issue: bcp Fails to connect to default local instance I initially tried bcp in output mode, prior to working in earnest on importing my data. However the command line-
bcp MyDatabaseName.dbo.UserProfile out UserProfile.txt -T -c
Fails with the error-
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
As I understand it, the local instance of SSE is the default, and should use a local (shared memory?) connection. This seems to work for Management Studion Express, but not bcp.
While investigating this problem, I tried enabling remote connections (all types) through the Surface Area Configuration wizard, and found that remote connections using either of:
bcp eSpacePh1.dbo.UserProfile out UserProfile.txt -T -c -S localhostsqlexpress bcp eSpacePh1.dbo.UserProfile out UserProfile.txt -T -c -S mycomputernamesqlexpress
both work ok.
Extra Info When starting Management Studio Express, it says something like "Configuring environment for the first time". However it says this every time it is started, not just the first run after installation, does this indicate some configuration data is not being successfully stored?
I have found threads that look similar to my issue-
However these do not relate directly to bcp, and to be honest my knowledge of SSE is slender enough at this stage that i'm unsure if there are really relevant.
My flatform is NT4 with Sql 7 server. At least one a week user loose connection to the database on the Sql server. I can ping the server ok but an error message pops up each time they try to access the database that the server is not known to be running. What performance monitor counter can I monitor to determine if there is a problem accessing the database.
Sir i am trying to connect sql from my LAN to my networked computers but whenever i tried to register it through Enterprise manager i get following "SQL Server registration failed because of the conection failure displayed below.Do you wish to Register anyway? Login failed for user 'SW17/Guest'

hi all, my problem is failure in the connection to SQLserver2000 remotly( to city a) by enterprise manager or query analyzer via windows authentication ( this error appears "login failed for (domain/user)" ),while no problems happened in the connection when i would to connect to other servers at other locations(to cities b,c) via windows authentication.
note that i can access to (city a)server via sql server authentication , but i want to access to this server(city a) via windows authenication as the other locations because this authentication mode is policy of our system, and note also that persons in city b can access to all servers (city a,c) via windows authenication .
I am trying to write a simple program for test purpose with VB .Net 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005. My server is not even in the same state as me, but I have the following on the server:
Server 2003 Web Edition SP1 SQL Server Express 2005
I am writing in the following: Visual Basic 2005 Pro Edition
I have read where you can setup Express to allow TCP/IP connection, and I have done what it stated HERE (http://www.datamasker.com/SSE2005_NetworkCfg.htm). However, I am still not able to connect to the DB on the remote server.
I go to: Tools --> Connect to Server --> Type IP and get the connection failed to connec to server "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" I even tried: Tools --> Connect to Server --> Type IPSQLEXPRESS and get the connection failed to connec to server "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
Has anyone been able to do this, or am I wasting my time? If I can get the SQL Server to do as requested then I am going to purchase and work with it, however, I want to test out before I spend the $$$$$ to begin the full project. If anyone can be of assistance here I would appreciate it.
