I have written a windows service using VB.NET that connects to a database and performs several tasks. The service is working correctly and has been fully tested against SQL Server 2000. I have recently moved to SQL Server 2005 and now, the service will not connect to the database.
I have setup and tried several different users, but none work, I get the following message:
Login failed for user 'OEESYSTEMS'
The server instance, username and password I specify are all correct.
The service is running on the same server as SQL Server. I can connect through a web application, and through ODBC. The server is set to use SQL server and windows authentication, and is setup and successfully allows remote connections.
It looks like SQL server sees that a windows service is trying to connect and does not allow it.
For the love of god, can anyone help with this issue.

My guess is that something in the web.config isn't right or maybe the host (webfusion) is strange. Thanks if anyone can help.

I used the URL approach to call the reporting service. In the ASP page, I use javascript to open a new window to view the report. But when I close the new window and work on the original window. It seems that the DB connection to the SQL server is not working.
I am yet to connect to any datasource on my SSIS package. But when I right click on the connection Managers box in my SSIS project and select €śNew OLE DB Connection€? (or any other connection type), I get an Error as below. Please Help to resolve this error.

Hi I have recently upgraded several of our SQL2005 servers to SP2a :) version 9.0.3050 and find that I can no longer script the Service Broker objects from a remote connection. The error I am getting is: Script failed for MessageType 'MyMessageType' (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo) Additional Information Either the object or one of its properties is not supported on the target server version (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo) Now I know that this worked pre SP2 using exactly the same setup. Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it?
I have an issue where SQL Server is refusing a connection that is initiated from within a Windows service. The connection is attempted using the SQLConnect ODBC function (yes I know there are newer and better things out there but I'm stuck with ODBC for now ). SQLConnect returns SQL_ERROR and the error code that is returned is:
28000
Invalid authorization specification The value specified for the argument UserName or the value specified for the argument Authentication violated restrictions defined by the data source.
Now it sounds like a username/password problem but when we attempt a connection to the same server via a non-service program, everything works fine (using the same username/password). We thought it might be an ODBC issue at first but we can connect to a MySQL server using the same programs/services just fine.
Checking the SQL Server setup, we do have both Windows accounts and SQL Server authentication enabled (under Security tab).
I am running a C# Windows Service as ".Administrator" account. It cannot make connection to SQL Server 2005 and gives 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)
Like it couldn't find the SQL Server 2005 .(SQL Server is installed in Windows 2003 Server Enterprise ed.) However when I debug my service as Console application it connects successfully. I am still in trouble.. please help me out.
System information: 1. Our Reporting Server installed on a DB server. 2. We have one windows application which executes on the same server, which generates the reports snapshots. 3. One set of reports with single Shared data source
Scenario: We have many countries for which report history snapshots needs to be generated. The report information is stored in different databases named as database_CountryCode on the same DB server.
Questions: 1. We need to dynamically change the shared data source connection string to point to the respective country database, when generating the report for that particular country. --> We found out this can be accomplised by using parameterized connection string in report specific data sources in SQL 2005. Can we achive something similar in SQL 2003 Reports as well? 2. We also need to instantiate the reporting service web service in multiple threads, one for each country, where in each thread picks up the corresponding country code, changes the connection string and generates reports snapshots. Can this be accomplished? I know this goes against the entire idea of licensing, but my question is just about feasibility of this idea.
Addnl Info The CreateReportHistorySnapshot method of reportingservice.asmx returns a snapshotID, which is the timestamp of report snapshot creation. We tried creating the same report snapshot for the same country in 2 threads. Whenever the timestamp for both snapshots was same, only one report snapshot actually got created. Can this be overcome?
how can i setup an input field and SQL column to allow a user to enter something such as: '1+' into the field and the db? i get an error due to the '+'.
I created an UPDATE trigger on a table - but there one case where I would not the trigger to occur. I mean, in one procedure it may update this table and I would not the trigger to occur a update occurred because of this stored procedure. I could alter my trigger but I am not sure if I would be able to tell which procedure caused it without adding a special column, but if I have to I will.
I'm trying to set up SQL Server so that people with Enterprise Mgr can create a DB registration to their DB only (sql.yoursite.com). Are there any tutorials out there for doing this?

I have recieved this error and i have changed the surface area configuration to allow remote connections but it still won't allow them after i start and restart the server service. is there any way to fix this i have reinstalled several times and that has not yet fixed the problem either.
I have a flat file that I'm reading from and loading my tables with. In that file I have a column that has numbers (2000,1999,1998 and so on) and the column that they are being loaded into is defined as an INT. The issue I'm running into is that the first 50 or so rows in the flat file is empty for this column so I'm getting an error message. If I put numbers in that column in the flat file it works, if i remove them it fails. How can I allow for NULL values for my INT column on the database table?
here is the error I'm getting:

this is the error message i get and i don't know how to correct it. i have tried going into surface area configuration and setting it allow remote connections but that hasn't changed anything. i am at a loss for how to correct this situation.
My users want to be able to enter nothing in a date field.
I'm using asp.net v2, vb.net, and VS 2005 for my application. I'm not sure what to do or what code to write to allow the user not to enter a date and keep from hitting the sqldatetime overflow error.
Please forgive my post, as I am not a network tech, however I provide pc support to the city offices where I live and they are in need of help.
Physical box and pc's moved to a new location. All setup with proper cabling, etc. At first log on after the move all users to log on as normal, a day or two later, only the Administrator can log on and there is only one administrator profile.
Any duh quick fixes to check out, as this brings down 4 city offices.
I Installed full version of SqlServer 2005. Iam able to connect to all of our systems which are in intranet. But iam not able to connect to external system. I performed all the steps that are mentioned in the following URL support.microsoft.com/kb/914277 . Even then i was not able to connect to the remote systems. I request you to show me a solution to this issue.
I would appreciate any thoughts/ideas on the following use case for the distributed service broker application we plan to migrate from our existing proprietary tcp based message protocol using database tables for reliability.
There are two ssb services running in separate sql server instances, each on a different server machine. For simplicity, let us assume the ssb endpoint names are SSBA, SSBB. SSBB is the Initiator of the Dialog while SSBA is the Target. Now the requirement is that if the underlying network communication between the two ssb endpoints(SSBA and SSBB) is broken or if the critical service SSBB is down, then processing of any incoming message into SSBA's queue from a third service broker service (say SSBEXPR) running within a SqlExpress instance should be delayed until SSBB is alive and network communication between SSBA and SSBB is established. In our existing implementation (wherein SSBA, SSBB and SSBEXPR are windows services) we use a combination of TCP socket disconnects and Heartbeat messages between SSBA and SSBB to determine the health of network connection and that of the SSBB service.
Now my understanding of how the underlying network connection for a ssb dialog works is that if there is no activity on a dialog for a certain amount of time then the underlying network connection is closed. Is there a way to specify the amount of time to say infinite value or something and thus change this behavior? My other question is how can one query the underlying network connection (i.e. a row from sys.dm_broker_connections) associated with a particular conversation? If none of this is possible, then any other patterns/ideas/approach is welcome.
Developers want to give users the ability to schedule and run processes, which may be executables, T-SQL, DTS, Active Scripting, etc. I don't want to enable a proxy account due to the well documented security problems. Has anyone come up with a good way to do this?
I am trying to make a connection to sql server using sspi (windows authentication), however, I do not wish to use the built in tokenauthentication system. Administrators are worried about somebody using an unattended logged on computer to gain access to the database. So I am left with using sql server authentication (which I am not fond of doing, more password administration) or what I would like to do is use windows authentication but make the user enter thier windows password prior to logging into sql server. Is there a way? Thanks in Advance.
I'm relatively new to administering SQL Server, hence this basic question.
What are the standard practice tool(s)/methods for allowing users access to a database to edit data? In this case, these are engineers (not programmers) that need to edit some values. The practice in the past has been to install Enterprise Manager on their PC. However, this does not seem proper to me and I was thinking more along the lines of having them use Access instead.
I compare Enterpise Manager in SQL Server as an equilvalent to Enterprise Manager in Oracle - these are tools only for use by database administrators. Is this a correct correlation, or is Enterpise Manager in SQL Server a tool that users (and programmers?) are commonly allowed to use? In the case of common users, I would think not.
I would like to allow a particular user to truncate a log file in astored procedure that the user runs every day. At this moment the onlypersonnel that can truncate the log file are personnel with sysadminrights. Is there any way to do this in sql server 2005 withoutgranting this user sysadmin rights (something we REALLY don't want todo)? Thanks for all your help in advance.Dave C.
With MS SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager, is there a way to allow a user accessto only a few tables, but deny the user access to the rest without having togo to all of the tables and denying access? The database has roughly 50tables, but only 3 should be granted to the new user, so as you can see itwould be a painstaking task to manually do this with the *cough* mouse. Or,if I can run some sort of grant script, that would work too. Thank you!
Is there a way to automatically setup SQL Server Express to allow remote connections during the installation process?
We are deploying SQL Server Express with our application and I really can't ask SMB customers to go through a series of rather complicated steps after our "turn key" setup installs everything in order for any of the other computers in their office to connect.
What's the reasoning behind that, anyway? Why create a database server setup which by default doesn't allow anyone except the server to access it? I guess that makes sense for ASP.NET but the web fad isn't the only platform developers use these days.
Is there a way to tell an ALTER TABLE statement that truncating data from a string or binary column is okay? Meaning, if I have a NVARCHAR(50) column and I want to change it to NVARCHAR(10), any strings over 10 characters can safely be truncated to 10?
Or do I have to push the columns though an intermediary first?
I have created an application using service broker.i have a source database which in a particular server say server A and want to send message to target database which is in another server say server B.
i have configured all the service broker objects and advanced service broker objects in correct way by reffering the site --http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/sindukuri/2797.asp
but when i am trying to send message from my source server to target server , i am getting the following error in sys.transmission_queue.
Connection attempt failed with error: '10061(No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.)'.
I have enabled the tcp port in both the server.
Note-My source server is an XP and Target Server is an windows server 2003.
can anybody please tell do i need to set any extra configuration in windows server 2003 or any thing do l need to do which i have left.
please do help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot in advance.....................................
