Network Servers?
Aug 4, 2006
I recently installed SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express along with SQL Server 2005 Express in my Win2K Pro m/c. The installation went off smoothly.
My server name is "ADSQLEXPRESS" where "AD" is my m/c name. When I open Management Studio Express for the first time, the "Connect to Server" dialog opens up wherein the "Server name" under the "General" tab shows "ADSQLEXPRESS". When I click the dropdown list & click the "Browse for more" option to browse for more servers, the dialog titled "Browse for Servers" opens up. This dialog shows 2 tabs - "Local Servers" & "Network Servers". Under the "Local Servers" tab, "Database Engine" is listed. When I expand it, the server name "ADSQLEXPRESS" is listed.
Under the "Network Servers" tab again "Database Engine" is listed but when I expand it, I always find 2 more than 2 network servers listed where one of them is my ISP (Internet connection provider) but where from are the other servers getting listed? I just don't have any connection with those servers. This is the first time I am seeing those server names.
Moreover the problem is after installing SQL Server 2005, my m/c is getting affected with Trojans now & then. Fortunately my anti-virus (AVG 7.0) takes care of it but I did like to just get rid of those extra network servers since I am pretty sure that one of these network servers (not the one which is my ISP) is the source of Trojans in my m/c since the Trojan attack began only after I installed SQL Server 2005 in my m/c.
Can someone please guide me how do I delete the offending network servers from the list?
Another strange thing is that the names of the network servers (except for the one which is my ISP) listed when "Database Engine" is expanded under the "Network Servers" tab in the "Browse for Servers" dialog go on changing everyday but the Trojans are always named in this format: eraseme_XXXXX.exe.
where X is any integer which goes on changing. For e.g., they will be named as erase_63728.exe or eraseme_23709.exe or eraseme_35412.exe etc..
Somebody please help me out of this predicament.
Thanks,
Arpan

Hi Friend,
Is there any way in SQL Server by which I can locate the names of all the SQL-servers on the network. I was wondering if I can execute some query on Master database to find the above info??? Any clues??
Thanks in advance

Please excuse my niavety on this subject, But I have a simple question. When you have more than one SQl server 7 installation on the same network, each using different machines, does one automatically have the ability/authority to be able to stop the other server at will??
Thanks in advance for any help

Hi,We have an ODBC/Visual-C++-6 -bases application (currently working with both MS-Access and Postgres)and want it to also cooperate with MS-SQL-server and MSDE. Since we don't want theuser to wade through the ugly ODBC-setup, we have our own dialogs (e.g. the usualfile dialog for MS-Access) and build the ODBC-connection string from the information providedby them. Now, the MS-SQL-Driver dialog has the nice feature to browse the network foravailable SQL-server instances and I like to have it, too. Is there somefunction for retrieving a list of available SQL-servers anywhere?Georg

I am working on a computer connected to a network. I am using SQL 2000/XP on my computer so I can manage other sql servers on our network (I'll call them S1 and S2, both running SQL 2000)
I recently received a new computer running SQL 2005 Standard/Vista. When I try to connect to S1 and S2, I can’t find them anywhere. Am I overlooking some settings in 2005/vista?
I am a little inexperienced at this, so please let me know if any additional information would be helpful.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I need to find out whether SQL Server client components are installed on a machine through my application.
For that I was expecting "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90" registry key. BUT If I install just native client drivers, this key is not getting created.
What could be another approch to determine whether system has required client components.
Also I need to list all the SQL Server 2005 servers available in the network. (Similar to the Servers combo box being populated while DSN creation in ODBC Admin tool). There are several approches.
1) Use NetServerEnum API
2) Use SQLBrowseConnect ODBC API
3) Use SQLDMO Object
4) OSQL utility.
Which one I should use VC++ (2005)?
Thanks in advance,
Mac

I have a question regarding the nature of virtual sql servers, specificially what protocol is used to communicate to the server when a request is made by a client.
For example, if a scheduled job is run on the virtual sql server, what determines the protocol used (e.g. TCP/IP, named pipes etc.) by SQL Server agent? Is it the client network alias set up on the virtual server?
I am asking because currently the client aliases on some of our virtual sql servers are using named pipes and I think this is causing a problem with our backups.
Thanks,
Adrian.

Hello all,
We have a Windows 2003 Web Edition server serving a site through IIS. It connects to a Windows 2003 Standard Edition server running SQL 2000 SP3a.
This site receives the following error as seen in the topic:
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (recv()).]General network error. Check your network documentation.
We've configured the server network utility to only allow TCP/IP connections. The connection string for the site is as follows:
<%
' FileName="Connection_ado_conn_string.htm"
' Type="ADO"
' HTTP="false"
' Catalog=""
' Schema=""
MM_connSpankMSSQL_STRING = "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=SERVER_IP,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=ourmaindb_1;User ID=ourmaindb_1;Password=hotcookies;"
%>
Any ideas or tips on solving this issue? We've noticed it is due to larger queries as smaller ones do work with no problems.
The servers are behind a BSD box running iptables, has 1433,1434 along with standard web ports wide open. Anything outbound is allowed.
Some further testing via ODBC on the IIS server improved things. No more connection pooling for the SQL Server driver allows for 1/3 of the query to run. Still 2/3s of it doesn't show up, and that general network error message appears.
Should have 330 rows if it works right.

Hi
While running a DTS, many times the error message: "[DBNETLIB][ConnetionWrite (WrapperWrite()).]General network error. Check your network documentation." appears.
Does somebody knows why?
I am running the DTS from a computer (not the server where the DTS is stored) and it is connected without any problem when this happens.
Thanks!!

I have also searched many articles and tried following solutions but nothing working

And there's nothing any issue with hardware/firewall as my application's login and other forms are working fine(which use same database with same connection string)
Can any one please help me to solve this error?

I use sqlclient to connect directly from my mobile 5 pocketpc to a sql server 2005 database on my desktop.
I use a sqldatareader to traverse the results of a query that delivers 2 fields: (1) the filespec, and (2) the image field.
I use a filestream with a binary writer to write the contents of the image data to the pocketpc's storage card.
I have a test table with 10 images, not one more than 4 MB. I cannot complete a test run prior to receiving the general network error.
The pocketPC is connected via activesync to the desktop, and I connect to the database with:
Integrated Security=false;
user id=sa
password=admin.
Any help with this strange error would be greatly appreciated.

I have a report that was designed using SQL Reporting Services that sits on a SQL reporting server. It's nothing too exciting, it is essentially a three page application with legal jumbo on pages 2 and 3 and applicant data in fields on page 1.
We use rectangles to force page breaks to page 2 and to page 3.
When running the report on the report server, it shows and prints fine.
When running the report from the QA website internally, it shows and prints just fine.
When running the report from the production website from a machine internally, it shows and prints just fine.
When running the report from outside of the company network, the report is jacked. It obliterates large chunks of text, crams text together, and creates blank pages.
I need help in determining where I even begin with trouble shooting this!

can anyone tell me if they know of a way to automate the update process from development servers to live server, with little interference from an administrator
I have a development team that are constantly updating their databases along with their ASP code, and want to publish changes an a weekly basis. They have asked me for a way to take their new structures, tables, procedures etc, and copy them to the live servers, but NOT to interfere with existing customer data.
Funny I know – and I hate the idea btw :(
Any references, contacts, 3rd party tool recommendations welcome,
Thanx,
Darren

I am in the middle of a major migraton project, moving from x86 SQL 2000 to IA64 SQL 2005. I have a business need to link to several legacy servers. I have a number of problems I am trying to solve.
1) Linking a Kerberos server to a non-Kerberos server.
2) Linking x64 or IA64 servers to x86 servers.
3) Linking SQL 2005 to SQL 2000.
Two of the errors I am encountering are:
------------------------------
TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB" returned message "Communication link failure".
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10054)
------------------------------
And
------------------------------
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for the linked server "SCDC250DB" reported an error. Authentication failed.
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB".
OLE DB provider "SQLCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB" returned message "Invalid authorization specification".
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7399)
If someone has worked through these problems before, I would appreciate it if you could direct me to the relevant documentation to resolve these issues.
Thanks!

I have problems using SQL Profiler from a Windows2000 client PC to an SQL 7 server which is on a Windows NT machine. I can use profiler o.k. from an NT client (using Named Pipes), but can't seem to get it to work on my Windows2000 PC.
I tried changing the Default Network Library on my PC to use TCP/IP, but it still does not work. The server has a default of Named Pipes.
Can I get the server to use either Named Pipes or TCP/IP depending on whether the client communicating is an NT or Windows2000 PC?
Or is this not the problem? Is there a problem with Windows2000 and Named Pipes?
