In order to fix a web application bug the developer told me to to edit a stored procedure on my hosted SQL 2005 server. The hosting company's support say I should be able to do this using SQL Server Management Studio Express. I installed SSMSE, but it seems to want to only want to connect to a local server. Can I use this utility for remote DB management, or is there something else I need instead?
Thanks for your help.

Hey guys, I am new to the SQL server scene and I am having some trouble connecting to a remote SQL Server with SQL Server Management Studio Express. I have the username, password, IP address, and port necessary to log in but am apparently not plugging them into the correct places. Can anyone at all point me in the right direction or somewhere that I might at least find the answer? I appreciate any help that can be provided.
Thanks a bunch,

Hi,
Sorry if this is the wrong forum.
I'm trying to connect to a remote server (on shared hosting) with Management Studio Express. I tried using it on Vista and it connects to the server and database perfectly. However, on Vista it gives the following error everytime:
TITLE: Connect to Server------------------------------
Cannot connect to sgc.gbdns.net.
------------------------------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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)

However, the host obviously has SQL server to allow remote connections as I'm able to connect from XP.
Both the XP and Vista PCs are running Avast free edition (the same builds) and both are running Windows firewall with management studio allowed through. Can anyone help?

Hi all,
In my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE)=>Object Explorer=>Databases, the "NORTHWND" database was screwed up and is deleted completely. But under the same Object Explorer =>Databases, there is a database "C:SSMSE-BookChapter12WINCH12NORTHWND.MDF". I need to use this "NORTHWND" database in the SqlConnection. How can I specify the "Initial Catalog" (or "database") in the New SqlConnection code statement (in the ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 Express programming)?
Should it be like the following:
Dim sqlConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnction("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog=C:SSMSE-BookChapter12WINCH12NORTHWND; Integrated Security=SSPI;") ? Or what is the right code statement for connecting to it?
Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,

- When I disable "allow remote connections to this server" from server properties>connection page, I can still remotely connect to the server from SSMS...so what is the impact of enable/disabling it?
- what is the impact of changing the remote query timeout (on the same page) from default value?
Hi :)
Is there a way that i can use to connect to SQL SERVER of my WebService Provider ??
I mean how do i upload my database to the SQL SERVER of my WebService Provider ???
Thanks
I'm using SQL Server to store session state. The Sql Server is on the local network but not on the web server. I use impersonation and use account credentials for the ASPNET worker process:
<identity impersonate="true" userName="domainuser" password="pass"/>
I'm able to access all resources and execute all pages without any problem.
When an object is added to session state I recieve the following error:
"Cannot open database requested in login 'ASPState'. Login fails. Login failed for user 'domainusername. "
Here is my web.config entry for using sql server (with modified connection string of course):
<sessionState mode="SQLServer" cookieless="false" timeout="30" stateConnectionString="Data Source=xxx.xxx.x.xx,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=ASPState;Integrated Security=SSPI" />
I've checked and given the user i'm impersonating the ability to do everything. I've granted access on all necessary files, added them to the DB and made the user a db_owner of the ASPState table. I can log in to a machine as the user, then access sql server using the windows authentication. I granted 'act as part of the operating system', 'access this computer from a network', 'log on as a service', 'log on as a batch job' on both the remote computer hosting sql server and the web server.
The strange thing is i installed the asp session state tables on my development machine, using the same configuration file to run everything, and was able to add an object to session state without any problem. But when i specify the remote server, i'm denied.
Anybody have an idea?
Here is the connection string i used:
"Data Source=<IP>,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=<dbname>;User ID=sa;Password=<pwd>;"
i use that to connect to the remote SQL server, which has status of port 1433 at "Stealth"... do i need to open the port complete, if yes how i do that ?
does the SQL Server must use SQL authentication ?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am trying to access SQL server remotely (over the internet). I would like to use query analyser as my front end tool. Can anyone point out the procedure to do the same. I have the IP address and the host string.
Thanks

My ISP provide MS SQL Server. I can create my database name, dbusername and dbpassword through control panel and then I can access the database in ASP using this connection string "Provider=SQLOLEDB;UID=dbusername; PWD=dbpasword".
Before, I could also use my enterprise manager to create a new sql server registration using my web url, dbusername and dbpassword. But now it seems that my ISP blocks the port or something and ask me do everything through the control panel.
Does anyone have some idea to connect to a remote server thorough enterprise manager based on the infromation I have?
It would be very helpful for your opinion!
Does anyone know of a good place to find instructions on how to set up remote access to my SQL Server. I have been unsuccessful finding anything on this topic.

Hi,
I use a VS2005 application with a sql database. All is working well over a local network but I now want remote access to the system via the internet.
Is this possible? I have a fixed IP address & am wondering if I can just use the ip address as part of the connection string? (And if so - how!)
I'm writing a piece of software that is designed to access data from SQL server. The office's server has SQL server version 7 installed. The software works perfectly when running on a computer on the network in the office. I however am trying to work out how to use use the software from my home computer and connect to the SQL server database remotely. I've never done this before and I'm finding it hard to find the right information.
Firstly, is it easy to do this? What do I need to do with the server in the office to allow this to work? Do I need any extra hardware/software? How will my software connect to SQL server? Is it as simple as changing the connection string to something like the server's ip address and sql server name?
I'm writing the software in Visual Studio 2005 professional and programming in VB.
Many thanks.
I am developing a C# mobile 5.0SDK app that utilizes SQL2005 Compact Edition device files on Vista using as far as I know the latest SPs and versions.
Last night, I could open tables from the Server Explorer .sdf file, see the contents, edit the schema, etc. Now today, I assume all of a sudden,I am able to open schema but cannot open the table to see the contents. I get:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition captioned error dialog box that says "Access to the database file is not allowed. [ File name = ],[,,]
Using Sql Server 2005 Management Studio Express, I can open the table, do queries etc. I have tried rebooting, deleting, opening old projects, deleting dataset, disconnecting mobile device, but I still get the same error. I have tried stopping the SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS) service on the server but get:
Cannot open MSSLQ$SQLEXPRESS service on computer 'p5w64'. Access is denied.
I have no idea what to do next to start moving forward again, other than try the XP environment which I will do next.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Thank you.

I was just trying out Microsoft SQL Server 2000. I created a sample application which reads in 2 values from a textbox and writes it into a databse. This application works fine on my computer and the values are written to the database (In the connection string, I give my IP address as the datasource so that anyone on the internet can hit this database). However, when I copy this application to another computer and try to run it, it gives me an error "SQL Server does not exist or access is denied." I know this is a minor problem with some setting, but I haven't been able to find the solution on the internet. Can someone whose worked with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 please help me out.

if i can somehow load/copy a sql directory with mdf etc on pcs shipped to our customers with our app, but sql isnt installed/running on the shipped pc, can our customers' sql instances running on their existing machines "see/use" our shipped database, assuming the hard drive on the shipped pc can be made to look like a mapped/remote drive?

I am currently using a Microsoft Access (MDB) for my application. But I am looking at allowing other users on the network access the same database -- I know a Microsoft Access database is not the best solutuon for this enviroment.
I'd like to use SQL Server 2005 Express in this case. I am very fimilular with SQL Server 2000 Std/Ent editions. My question is, can I use the free SQL Server 2005 Express edition and allow remote users to connect to that database? Or is it supposed to only be used as a local database accessed by only the machine it's installed on?
Thanks,
Jason

I am a VB6 programmer and I'm really new to SQL Express, I have always used ACCESS because it was so easy to deploy. I've now written a VB6 program which uses SQL Express and I want to know how to deploy it. Basically my PC will host the SQL database as it has SQL Express loaded onto it. I now want to install my EXE onto other Client's PC and have them read/write to the database on my machine.
Besides the EXE program, what software do I need to load onto the Client's PC so they can access my SQLExpress database...? (eg: Net Framework, SQLExpress, etc).
Also, if my machine is called ABC123, in my connectionstring do I just put in
ABC123sqlexpress as the datasource..?. Will this be enough for the other PCs to connect to mine ?
Thanks
Hi guys
I'm writing a C# application which connects to a local SQL database for data access. The application connects to SQL Server through windows authentication, but opens up the port and sqlbrowser to others on the network wanting to access the database through SQL Server authentication, and also allows remote users to connect to this server remotely if they have the login and password (and because the port is already open)
I understand this is not secure and open to attack, and am unsure of how to secure these processes without blocking these three types of access, from A.) the local user, B.) the network user and C.) the remote user across the net.
Have researched this a fair bit, but get somewhat lost amongst all the jargon.
I am making a WPF app, and I want to use SQL Server Compact 4.0 for database management, but it doesn't support Remote data access, on the other hand SQL Server Compact 3.5 does support it but I can't use it in WPF ( I've installed it but can't add it in my project, it's not there in the templates). So is there any alternatives, for a light DBMS, that are not installed separately?
View 3 Replies View Relatedhey guys i am getting this error on my link server it is sqlsqever to sqlserver link
error 7416 access to remote server is denied because no loggin mappings exists
I am using XP_CMDSHELL to run 2 Windows commands (from a SQL 2005 SP2 server) that access files on a remote server (called webserver). The two commands are:
1. cscript.exe \webserverwwwrootEur_SaveProductImages.vbs
2. dir \webserverwwwroot
Up until very recently this worked fine. Now I am getting Access Is Denied errors:
For #1:
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. All rights reserved.
CScript Error: Loading script "\webserverwwwrootEur_SaveProductImages.vbs" failed (Access is denied. ).
For #2:
Access is denied.
This happens if the above commands are run through a job, or directly with Query Analyzer as SA.
I understand that XP_CMDSHELL commands are run in the security context of the SQL Server startup account. The SQL Server startup account is called SQLServer and this account exists on both webserver and the database server. On both servers the username & password are identical and the user is in the local Administrators group. The two servers are in a workgroup.
Things I have tried (with no effect):
1. Restarted the servers
2. Deleted and recreated the SQLServer login on both servers
3. Changed the startup account for SQL Server through the SQL Server Configuration Manager to another account and back to SQLServer.
The most revealing tests are these:
1. If I log into the database server myself using the SQLServer account I can run the above commands in a Command Prompt with no problem
2. I installed SQL 2005 Express SP2 on webserver using the same startup account (SQLServer). If I run the same XP_CMDSHELL commands as above but accessing files on the database server, the commands work!
So, an XP_CMDSHELL command run under SQL Express using the local SQLServer account to access a remote server works, but an XP_CMDSHELL command run under SQL Server using a local SQLServer account (that is supposedly identical to the same named account on the other server) does not work !!?!?!?
It is almost as if XP_CMDSHELL commands run under SQL Server are NOT using the SQLServer startup account, but using some other weaker account. How can I tell if this is true?
How can I get this back working (as it was a week ago). The only thing I can think that happened on the servers to cause this is the installation of Windows Updates.
Thanks
