I create default instance on SQL Server 2012 Standard.
When I set it up, I changed instance id from 'mssqlserver', which is a default value, to 'new_instance_id'.
For some reason I want to connect to the instance with computername new_instance_id
Can I do it?
I have a 3 node cluster on which I have installed SSAS as it's own insntance. I have created this as a named instance and can connect to it by serverinstance if I'm on the server itself. However from my desktop I get the error saying instance was not found on server name.
I have defined an alternate port and setup firewall rules and can connect via server:port but not serverinstance. Prior to making this change SSAS was running on default port of 2383 and I could connect just by servername.
I have read many articles for previous versions saying that clustered SSAS will always use 2383 and that you must connect just using servername. However and this is were it gets strange. I have a 2 node UAT cluster with SSAS setup exactly the same way I've described above and I can connect from my desktop as serverinstance.
Should I be able to connect as serverinstances for a named clustered instance in 2012 ?
When I try to connect to a default Express instance in Management Studio at the machine (Windows XP SP2) where the instance is installed, 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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server)
What does provider: SQL Network Interfaces mean? Does it mean the Shared Memory, Named Pipes and TCP/IP?
Additional information:
1. The following Network Protocols are enabled: Shared Memory, Named Pipes, TCP/IP thru Configuration Manager
2. SQL Server Express default instance is running using NT
AUTHORITYNetworkService.
3. SQL Server Browser service is not running. I believe this is not needed unless I want to connect to the instance from another machine.
4. Has tried to disable Windows Firewall but I believe it should not be matter in this particular case since this is within the same machine.
5. Can connect to the instance in ODBC Administrator using System DSN thru Named Pipes or TCP/IP.
Can such error caused by not having sufficient memory so the system is running kind of slow?
I designed the AlwaysOn wrong, but every time we fail over from primary server to another server, my applications cannot connect because the sql logins cannot connect to their default databases. Once I run the command to link the login with the user in the default database then the users are able to connect. Did I do something wrong when designing AlwaysOn?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a server with 3 SQL Server named instances on it - servername, servername/TST and servername/GOLDSTD. I have several databases on the default instance (servername) but users cannot access the databases unless they are given system admin privileges to their login. This occurs using both SQL Server Logins and Windows authentication logins. If I move the database to a different named instance (servername/TST), the problem no longer exists and users can connect with dbo privileges. Any suggestions or is this typical for default instances? Thanks in advance for any help

If I turn off the onecare firewall I can connect as normal, but this is not a desired option. I have tried enabling port 1433 on the firewall, this does not work either. Any help greatly appreciated, onecare support seems reluctant to help.
TIA
I'm trying to configure a named instances of SQL Server 2012 SP2 to have specific IP addresses and listen to that IP on port 1433. Alongside this, I have the default instance running on a different IP and listening to that on port 1433.I've managed to get them configured so that they are reachable using the IP, and looking at the log for each they are listening correctly on that IP on port 1433; in addition, the default instance connects fine using the SERVERNAME.However, when I try and connect to the named instance using the SERVERNAME/INSTANCENAME syntax, I receive the following:-
"Cannot connect to SERVERINSTANCE.
Instance failure. (System.Data)"
Configuration for the TCP/IP protocol for that instance is as follows:-
Protocol Tab
Enabled= Yes
Keep Alive = 30000
Listen All = No
IP addresses Tab
IP1
Active = Yes
Enabled = Yes
IP Address = 10.1.1.1
TCP Dynamic Ports = 0
TCP Port = 1433
[code]...
The SQL Browser service is running and prior to switching off Listen To All, I could connect to the instance remotely using the instance name.
I am trying to setup a client alias to connect to a named instance on another server.

Hi, I have a task in hand to migrate (upgrade) from SQL2K named instance to SQL2K5 default instance. There are many intranet applications touching current SQL2K. I would like to perform this upgrade such that I don't have to touch any application code - meaning I don't have to change the connectionstring to point to new Default instance. How can I achieve this?
So, in otherwords, here is what I want to achieve:
Current Server: SQL2K: SERVER_AINSTANCE_A (named instance)
Upgraded Server: SQL2K5: SERVERB (default instance)
If I have both default, I could achive this by setting up DNS alias after migration done so that any call for SERVER_A would point to SERVER_B. But in my case, I don't have SERVER_A, I have named instance. Is there any solution?
Regards,
Vipul
I am trying to set up a Named Instance of SQL 2000 on the same machine that has a default instance of SQL 7.0. The setup always completes and I am able to register the Named Instance of the SQL Server with which it was installed on. However, when I try to connect the users to the database, with both windows and SQL authentication, I receive a SQL server not found error. I have tried an alias setup as well as physically specifying the port number in settup up an ODBC connection.
Has anyone ran into similar problems?
Also, has anyone been able to successfully complete the process as mentioned above?
I have a server with sql server 2005 installed as the default instance -- I have a piece of software that needs SQL2000 to be the default instance. Is there a way other than install new sql2005 named instance and move databases to rename my SQL2005 instance from <machinename> to <machinename>sql05 for example?

I have SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition (sp3a) running on a windows 2003 (sp4) Server.
It is a Production Server with 3 NAMED Instances and NO Default Instance.
Does anyone know if I can rerun the SQL Server Install and add a DEFAULT Instance to this box without disrupting the other Named Instances???
I installed SQL Server 2005 recently on a cluster. I didn't go for the default instance and instead I named the instance option. Now I would like to migrate everything from the named instance to the default instance, which I haven't yet installed.
Is this an easy process? What about the logins and the maintenance plans and jobs? Is there anything else I need to be aware of?
Hi
I've never had to do this, but when I downloaded the Web Workflow Approvals Starter Kit, it requested that I install the database into a User Instance of .SQLEXPRESS.
Now the problem is, I've installed it onto a default instance, so I was wondering whether you can create a named instance on top of a default instance... and if so, how would you do that?
Cheers

I've two instances(Default, Named[dynamicsFINANCE]) running on SQL server 2014. However, when I try to connect to named instance say (dynamicsFINANCE) using SQL authentication from local SSMS, I get below error message:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
I assigned a static port number to the named instance [dynamicsFINANCE] 1450. I also setup the firewall rule to allow access to Port 1450.
Greetings friends,
Not sure if this is the right place for my question but here goes anyway.
I have an instance of SQL Server 2005 installed on my DEV PC. A colleague of mine wants to access my server from his machine which connected to the same network.
I logged on to SSMS and added him as a new login.
Will he be able to connect to it now or do I have to do more than just that?
Your help would be appreciated.
I have SQL server 2005 on a Windows 2003 machine. The machine is old and I need to move the entire SQL server to a new machine. There are many databases and users that need to move across to the new server. Detaching and attaching the databases would be tedious due to the large number of databases. Is there a way of moving the DB's and SQL users to the new machine without having to do each db one at a time?
Additional info that might be helpful:
The new server's IP address and name must also change to that of the old server.
The old server initially had SQL 2000 on it and was upgraded to SQL 2005.
The new server was installed with SQL 2005 only. Hence the Database and log paths differ between the old and new server.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello, PLEASE Help me.I have just installed the Quick Starts on my local machine, and it mentions that you will need a new instance of SQL called (local)/NetSDK.I already have the MS Personal Edition and the tutorials say to download the MS Desktop Engine. So what do i need to do in order to get teh Quick Start samples to work locally???Can i not just use my own instance and use the Grocer and other Databases there???Please Help

This is a slight re-stating from an older thread, which I think warrants some new discussion. The answer has always been that system administrators should have full access to everything on a system, including databases.
Although that is a logical position for internal IT departments it doesn't quite fit the model of systems with outsourced or external system support.
"If you don't trust your DBA, then you need a new DBA. They are in a position of authority for a reason and restricting that authority makes it impossible for them to do the job they are hired to do."
What about scenarios where you have local machine administrators that should NOT be given access to private data in a secured database, even though they need to be able to access and maintain everything else? And unfortunately some regulations are written about access to stored data whether encrypted or not...
In the modern world of Sarbanes-Oxley and PCI-DSS/CISP it is no longer so cut and dried. Especially where companies have software/hardware support contracts with third parties that require administrative access to other aspects of the systems.
So accepting that you might need someone to have administrative level access to the box but they should not be able to view the contents of a database installed on that box, what would you do?
Is there a way to create an adminstrative group that does not allow access to a specific named instance of SQL?
Is there a way to revoke access for one member of the administrators group only?
Thanks,
Ted
The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server.
There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'.
I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
However, I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried:
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used:
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
but this doesn't work either.
Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated
Thanks...

Please bare with me as I do not have much knowledge in this area with MSSQL.
I have installed MSSQL 2000 Developer and I have setup a database which I am able to connect to and work fine with from the actual server MSSQL is installed on.
The problem comes in when i try to connect to that same database from a different remote server. It will not connect to the DB from this remote server but I know all the connection information is correct so its something on the MSSQL DB server causing this and not on this remote server.
Someone I know has had this problem and has fixed it but they wont tell me how. All I know is they said something about manually opening the ports on the MSSQL server and he also said when you set it to dynamicly determine the port that MSSQL is listening on it errored out. however if you set it staticly to 1433 it worked fine.
Ive also installed SP4 in attempt to fix this but no luck with that either. And I can also get the same exact remote server to connect to completely different DB server without issues.
If anyone can please help walk me through this I would be greatly appreciate and I am also willing to pay some money if it will make my life easier.
Hello all,
New forum member here, and pretty new to SQL Server. My question is I'm having an impossible time trying to connect MS Access on Computer A to a database running on SQL Server 2k (SP3) on Computer B. Every time I try to create a new ODBC connection on Computer A, I get the dreaded Server Error 17 (SQL Server does not exist or access denied). I have no problems making the ODBC connection on the computer running SQL Server (Computer B).
My connection settings are as follows:
Computer A name = MAINDESKTOP
Computer B name (contains SQL Server) = HOMELAPTOP
Workgroup name = WORKGROUP
Server Properties:
Name = HOMELAPTOP
Authentication = SQL Server and Windows
Registered SQL Server Properties = Use SQL Server authentication, and I'm using a login name and password
Server Network Utility = TCP/IP network protocol enabled, with default port 1433
Server Client Network Utility = TCP/IP network, default port 1433
Under "Security", I have created a new login using SQL Server Authentication called "bradley", and have assigned a password to the new login. I've noticed that when I open the login properties dialogue, there are always more ***'s in the password field than the number of characters I originally used, but I suspect that's normal. I have assigned a database called "Costume" to "bradley", and have verified that the permission is checked on the Database Access tab for user "bradley".
Under "DatabasesCostume", I have verified that there is a user called "bradley" with the same login name and user name.
No matter what I try, I can't get Computer A to connect to Computer B's SQL Server database. I have no problems with any other types of connections (pinging, internet, file transfers).
This can't be that difficult! Any ideas?
Thank you!
Brad
I was altering a few columns (setting to allow nulls) on a large table (30+ million records) and the machine naturally crashed. I rebooted, and now I can't connect to the DB - enterprise manager hangs, and query analyzer times out. is it likely the whole DB is screwed up, assuming the table alteration was incomplete?
thankfully, I do have a backup, but for future reference, is there a preferred way to make changes to large tables? last time I did this it took over an hour, and enterprise manager gives no progress indication to make me feel more comfortable that it's actually doing something...
I thought I would post how I got remote t-sql debugging working in my environment. Hope it might help someone.
I have two domains, DomainA and DomainB. DomainB has a one way external trust to DomainA. Dev Vista machine running VS 2005 is in DomainA logged in as user DomainAauser. SQL 2005 running on test Windows Server 2003 DC machine in DomainB under user DomainBuser. When trying to 'step into stored procedure' in VS, whether my data connection used windows authentication or sql server authentication, I would get the 'Unable to start T-SQL degbuggin...'. I could debug t-sql when I logged into the domain controller (console or rdp) and running VS on the server. I changed the SQL Server service to run under the DomainAauser account and I can now remote t-sql debug using both window authentication and sql server authentication. Hope this may help anyone that might run into this.
