Named Pipes Disabled In SQL 2005
Jun 14, 2007I see Named Pipes disabled by default in SQL 2005. Is this for any specific reasons?

Unused Network Libraties - Named Pipes Enabled Vs Disabled
Apr 27, 2007I have a quick question which I am hoping someone can answer for me.
In many of the guidelines / checklists to secuing MS SQL Server 2000 (particularly SANS and CIS) , it says that all unused network libaries should be disabled.
Can anyone please tell me what the security risk is if Named Pipes is enabled and the default path (is that what it is called?) of \.pipesqlquery is set, as I believe is the default setting upon installation.
All I can seem to find is guidance on what to do (disable unused network libraries) and not why you would want to do it.
Thanks for help
(Sorry if it is a dumb questions)
Is It Possible To Turn Off Named Pipes In 2005??

Dec 21, 2005I keep getting errors. It all started when I enabled named pipes on my SQL Server 2005 server. Ever since then I've had connection problems up the butt.
Most recently I got this error so does this mean that SQL Server is still trying to use named pipes even if I only have TCP/IP enabled in SQL Server Configuration Manager?

IP Works But Not Named Pipes, Connecting To SQL 2005 (SQL Auth)
Jul 29, 2007I have SQL 2005 Std Edition, Mixed Security, and remotely connecting by TCP/IP works great.
Named Pipes (and the SQL Native Client) is the only issue.
The problem _appears_ to be that I'm not authenticated under the SQL Machine; however, I'm not attempting to use Windows Authentication, I'm strictly using SQL, so I do not understand why I'm having a problem.
My reasoning for the above conclusion, is that the command "net use \[server_name]ipc$" will allow me to connect to the server, and Named Pipes will begin working. Again, remember that I'm only trying to access named pipes using SQL Authentication.
I've read through everything on the forum and tried everything I could find. Below are the answers from the most common suggestions posted here:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version: SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86)
This is the Default & Only Instance of SQL 2005, named: MSSQLSERVER
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The error message with the SQL Native driver (v 9.00.3042):
Error 1326, SQL State 08001
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [1326]
2. The error messgae with the ODBC SQL driver (v 03.85.1117):
Error 1326, SQL State 01000
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]Connection Open (Connect())
Connection Failed: SQL Error 17, State 08001
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
3. Local Connection on Win2003 Server works fine for IP & Named Pipes
4. Remote Connection using SQL Authentication
WORKS for IP, does not work for Named Pipes
5. Absolutely *no firewalls* or blocked ports are being used on either machine
6. Configuration Manager & Surface Area Config -- both enabled TCP/IP & Named Pipes
Currently listening on ALL IP's. The LOG reports:
Server is listening on [ 'any' <ipv4> 1433].
Server named pipe provider is ready to accept connection on [ \.pipesqlquery ].
Server is listening on [ 127.0.0.1 <ipv4> 1434].
Dedicated admin connection support was established for listening locally on port 1434.
7. Can telnet to server on 1433
8. Status of NETSTAT on server:
C:...>netstat -ano|findstr 1433
TCP 0.0.0.0:1433 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 656
C:...>netstat -ano|findstr 1434
TCP 127.0.0.1:1434 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 656
UDP 0.0.0.0:1434 *:* 2544
9. Tried both named instance and unnamed instance (although I'm not sure
if I'm passing the 'named' instance properly):
Tested: \MYSERVERpipesqlquery
Tested: \MYSERVERpipeMSSQL$MSSQLSERVERsqlquery
(although the named instance doesn't work on the server either)
10.I've setup an alias for the named pipe connection. This was based on a suggestion
posted here, but didn't work.
11.I've removed the shared-memory protocol, on another suggestion here, but no luck.
12.If I execute "net use \[server_name]ipc$" it asks for credentials and if I
enter the server credentials I have no problem with executing that command.
In other words the logged-on user is not an authenticated member of the server;
however, I'm not attempting to use windows authentication, I'm using
SQL Authentication.

SQL Server 2005 - Reporting Services Data Sources Named Pipes VS TCP/IP
Feb 28, 2007Can anyone shed light on why I cannot get away from named pipes in my SQL2005 Reporting Services Data Sources? Can it not just use TCP/IP? My configuration uses two servers, one in which the reportserver is setup on, and another which hosts the database that is reported against. We are trying to avoid having to open up named pipes on the server that stores the data.
Any help would be appreciated.

Named Pipes Vs Tcp/ip
Oct 20, 1999I am trying to run a sql script that was written by a third party to set up the tables and stored procedures of a 6.5 database. The script crashes
about half way through. The error looks like this...
The vendor said that I needed to change the client configuration to tcp/ip sockets instead of the named pipes that I was using. When I change
this setting I can no longer connect to the server through enterprise manager. The error message is...
I am not sure if the db-library is not set up correctly for the server or why it will not connect through the tcp/ip socket. I ran the ping command
from the command line and it returns a valid connection to the server. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Does anyone have any experience with this problem or suggestions of something to try to fix this problem. Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

Named Pipes Question
Aug 14, 2007i have to admit I am not that familiar with named pipes, but i do have an issue with them that I would like to understand a bit better.
I installed the SQL 2005 express version on a machine and using a express manager i tried connecting to the instance i just installed. However i was getting an error message referencing the NAMED PIPES. after hours of trying to figure out what the problem was i found that using the SQL Server COnfiguration Manager, under the SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration there is a node called Protocols for SQLEXPRESS. there are four protocols, one of which is the NAMED PIPES. Under the properties for this protocol there is the PIPE NAME which is what i had to change to "\.pipesqlquery". the default was longer and if i remember it correctly it was something like "\.pipeMSSQLSERVEREXPRESSsqlquery".
Once i made that change i was able to connect. Can somebody please explain to me what I have done (i can't find the article that lead me to this) and if there is any way to make this change in some sort of a script or something.
reason being is that I have an VB app that deploys the SQL 2005 express version as well and i would like to eliminate this step from the user to configure before using the app.
many thanx

Disabling Named Pipes
Jul 23, 2005In the process of doing some routine monitoring/clean-up we'vediscovered that several (many?) users are apparently set to access ourSQL Server 2000 database instances via the Named Pipes protocol. Inreadings and recommendations we've decided that our WAN would be bestserved if we use the less "chatty" TCP/IP.As such we've also decided to try to enforce this decision to useTCP/IP exclusively using the domain login script used by all of ourend-users.Question: does anyone know what registry entries are created/used toindicate that TCP/IP is enabled and is the default protocol for SQLServer 2000?

SQL Says Named Pipes Not Enabled But It IS
Apr 4, 2007Hi,
I'm using bcp and sqlcmd against SQL 2005 engine. They both work fine for long periods of time, but every few days they stop working with an error something like this:
A connection could not be establed - actively refused - this might be because remote connections are not allowed or the named pipes protocol is not enabled.
The thing is, remote connections ARE allowed, and named pipes ARE enabled. I have to recycle the SQL serverice to make it start working again.
Here are the commands that stop working.
sqlcmd -Ulowcostbuy -Plcb01 -S127.0.0.1 -id:homeWeBuysql runcate_bid_request.sql
bcp low_cost_buy..bid_request in d:homeWeBuyuploadunzipped
equest.dat -S127.0.0.1 -Ulowcostbuy -Plcb01 -fd:homeWeBuyformatsid_request_in.fmt -ed:homeWeBuylogid_request_in.err
Another note: sql is listening on port 1737, not the standard 1433 (or whatever it is).
Can anyone please help!? This is a very high profile application; having it die every few days is NOT an option!!

Dns/Wins & Tcp Sockets/named Pipes @ Sql 7
Sep 4, 2001We would like to use dns entries (CNAME) to create transparency between server infrastructure and logical servernames. So we could physically move databases onto another server and changing the dns entry without reconfiguring all client applications.
Old situation:
- Financeapplication connects to SERVERA (wins) through a .ini file.
New situation:
- Financeapplication connects to finserver.mydomain.be (CNAME)
- finserver.mydomain.be points to servera.mydomain.be (A record) in dns
- servera.mydomain.be is refering to the ip address of SERVERA
We tried to connect and got a 'get_overlapped_results' (clientside) when using a dns name in combination with named pipes. At the server we are getting this error:
Error: 17832, Severity: 18, State: 8
2001-08-24 13:10:16.64 ods Connection opened but invalid login packet(s) sent. Connection closed.
Connecting to the wins name of the server does work! Connecting to the dns name also works when using tcp sockets instead of named pipes.
Though, on some client pc's this does work with named pipes too, but we couldn't find any regularity or logic when it works or when it doesn't (service packs, mdac versions, NT/95/98/2000, ... etc).
We also noticed that integrated security works with tcp sockets when using dns names, but it doesn't when using wins names.
Does anyone have a clue?

Now I am needing to setup a P&M server (through Site Server 3.0), but I must have my SQL server to accept tcp/ip network connections. I don't know how to enable named pipes & tcp/ip.

Named Pipes Versus TCP/IP Sockets
Sep 25, 1998We are having some problems using TCP/IP connection and was wondering what the benefits are to using this versus Named Pipes. The company that provides our software stated that this would improve performance but I do not see it and I am getting a lot of errors connecting. This also locks many of the users and I end up having to stop and start the database to clear the locks because there are so many. Would it be better to place the clients on Multi-protocol. It seems more powerful to use but I wanted to get some feedback from some people that may have dealt with this issue before.

Connectivity Issues (TCP/IP, Named Pipes Etc)
May 15, 2006Hi all,
little connectivity problem, I hope this hasn't been asked before, I've tried searching and haven't found much sign of it.
We have an app which runs on sales reps laptops using MSDE (or in this particular case SQL 7 Desktop Edition) and uses merge replication to send up orders, pull down products etc. All worked fine untill we set it up for one particular customer who wanted to use their existing SQL 7 install with it and a VPN connection for replication.
The problem is that with the VPN connected nothing (the app, the merge dll or even enterprise manager) could connect to the local instance (but can see the main server across the VPN). It seems to be some kind of funny routing issue whereby the VPN software sends local traffic off across the VPN which has no idea what to do with it. Using the Client Network Utility I've been able to setup an alias for the local machine forcing it to use named pipes, which worked brilliantly allowing access when connected to the VPN and allowing replication to work. Unfortunatly with this enabled the problem now occurs when the laptop is disconnected, nothing can connect to the local instance.
I'm kind of a newbie wrt to managing SQL server, can anyone suggest anything on how I should be setting this up ?
Thanks in advance,
Steve.
Named Pipes Provider, Error: 40
Jan 2, 2008Hi All,
I inherited a web server (I'll refer to as WS1) that is running MS 2003 SP2 with Microsoft SQL Web Data Administrator (I have no clue what version of SQL Server this is? Any idea on how to find it is greatly appreciated, but not necessarily what I'm after in this post). There is a default website (website.com) which resides on the C: drive. This was built with asp. On the default.asp page there is a link to an administrative portion (admin.com). This was built with DotNetNuke (.aspx) and resides on the D: drive. All works fine.
I recently was tasked to set up a new web server (I'll refer to as WS2) with MS 2003 SP2 and SQL Server 2005. I imported the database and websites from WS1 that I needed. Both websites are now on the C: drive. Since WS1 is currently live, I can't use website.com and must use the IP address. No problem...the default website website.com opens fine. I also changed how I call the admin.com site. Since I can't open it as href=admin.com and because I already have a default website, I tried creating a virtual directory under the default site to open it. But I'm getting the following 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)
Looking through the posts on the web, I'm not sure what to do. I originally thought the problem might be with my web.config. But now I'm not sure. I'm not even close to being a network admin or a dba so keep that in mind when you respond. Here's what I've checked:
1) Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections >> Remote Connections: Local and remote connections is selected with the "Using both TCP/IP and named pipes" option selected.
2) Computer Management >> SQL Server Configuration Manager >> SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration >> Protocols for MYWEBSITE: TCP/IP & Named Pipes are enabled
I can connect to the database via SQL Server Management Studio, so I know the database is up and running.
Also, the original web.config file for the admin.com website looks something like this:
<add key="WebDSN" value="Server=(local);Database=Database1;uid=userid1;pwd=password1;" />
<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=Database2;uid=userid2;pwd=password2;" />
Hope I haven't confused you, but I probably have. Any help is greatly appreciated.
