After installing the Advanced Services package, I started getting errors connecting to a database (.MDF) that I've been using for weeks/months.
The error was something like "login failed for machineuser". After twiddling with the connection string and starting and stopping the SQLEXPRESS service it started working again. Did some more work, everything was fine, shutdown and went to bed.
This morning, I am unable to connect to the database - nor any other database, it seems. This time I'm getting "cannot find the physical file" type errors.
Any leads on solving this would be much appreciated. I've search using the error codes and I'm not turning anything up that seems quite like the problem I'm having.
I have log shipping setup to 2 different servers. Every once in a while I get the
Server: Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot open backup device 'E:fac.dat'. Device error or device off-line. See the SQL Server error log for more details. Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.
Checked MSDN which said it was a permissions error, which isn't right, because the same account works for this db and several others all the time. Anyone else seen this?
We recently migrated a SQL 2000 DB to SQL Server 2005 SP2. We have a VB 6 executable that uses the SQL Server 2005 DB. Immediately we began getting intermittent errors when trying to run a Stored Proc on SQL 2005 DB. The two errors we see are:
Timeout expired
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
If you immediately try to run the same query, it usually will work. The queries are random and so are the errors. I have gotten the time out error in Server Management Studio a couple of times.
In the VB 6 App we are using MDAC 2.81. Her is the connection string: Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;User ID=user;password=password;Initial Catalog=OASIS;Data Source=servername, portnumber
We added the port number to the DataSource in an attempt to troublshoot the issue, but it made no difference.
We have run sysinternals Process Monitor on a PC with the app running and we saw NAME NOT FOUND Results for Query Open actions for these DLLS: C:Program FilesOASISCLUSAPI.DLL C:Program FilesOASISRESUTILS.DLL C:Program FilesOASIStdsapi.dll
C:Program FilesOASIS is the application path. Of course, they are not in the application path but they are in C:WindowsSystem32. They do not seem to be registered.
Here is an example of the code we use in a class to run a SP:
Public Function FetchPostings() As ADODB.Recordset Dim cmFetch As ADODB.Command
On Error GoTo HandleError Set cmFetch = New ADODB.Command With cmFetch .Name = "FetchObligations" .ActiveConnection = gobjSecurity.Connection 'This is a connection string not a connection object .CommandText = "spClaimFetchObligations" .CommandType = adCmdStoredProc .Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("ClaimID", adInteger, adParamInput, , mlngClaimID) Set FetchObligations = .Execute End With
ExitSub: Set cmFetch = Nothing Exit Function
HandleError: gobjError.HandleError Err.Number, Err.Description, App.EXEName, "clsClaim", "FetchObligations", gobjSecurity.UserID Resume ExitSub End Function
I've build a few reports in visual studio, they work and they don't work, in a minute I can run them next minute I can't and I get this errors in event viewer every time they can't be run:
Report Server (MSSQLSERVER) cannot load the SQLPDW extension.
Report Server (MSSQLSERVER) cannot load the TERADATA extension.
Hi I have asp.net2 app using SQLExpress which works fine in VS2005. When I compile it and try to run it from IIS on the same machine using the same sql server database with: connectionstring="server=.SQLEXPRESS;Database=abc.mdf;Trusted_Connection=yes"/> I get the following error. Cannot open database abc.mdf requested by login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'machinenameASPNET' Any help much appreciated
I have a VB 2003 .NET application that I wrote for a customer that connects to a named instance of SQL 2000. Until recently it has been working fine. Lately the program either pops a timeout failure within a few seconds or a general network error. I've increased the connection timeout settings to 90 seconds but the error still pops within a few seconds. I'm thinking something has changed in the environment that prevents a clean connection to the named instance of SQL server.
How should this issue be troubleshoot to determine the problem and what areas need to be looked at?
<add name ="ASPNETDBConnectionString1" connectionString ="Data Source= .SQLEXPRESS; Integrated Security = True; DataBase = ASPNETDB.MDF; User ID = MyWindowsUserName; Password = MyWindowsPassword; User Instance = False; Connect Timeout = 30" providerName ="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
I tried to research on the internet and i got a solution on changing the permissions for this database to enable user SystemName/ASPNET, but iam not able to access this ASPNETDB.MDF from SqlServer and if i go to server explorer in vs2005, i dint know where to chage the permissions.
I recently installed Web Developer Express and SQLExpress and cannot get connected to the SQL to create the aspnetdb.mdf database file. I ran the utility aspnet_regsql.exe with the switches -E -A m but got a message stating that it could not connect because remote access might be disabled. I enabled remote access using both TCP/IP and pipes even though only local access is required. It still returns the same error message. The machine.config and web.config files have the correct entries for ConnectionStrings and Providers to specify SQLProviderMembership.
Then I tried using SQL Management Express Studio CTP. I select
SQL Authetication, key in the correct password but
it says "A connection was succesfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error:0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe). (Microsoft Sql Error: 233)
When i tried windows authetication, it say cannot initialise SSPI package.
hi guru's I am trying to connect the Instance of SQL Express 2005 from a client PC (running on Windows XP). While in the Object Explorer connection window, I can view the required SQL Express Instance installed in my server, but while i try to connect the instance, it says 'Login failed for the user 'MYSERVER/guest'
The same error popups when i try to tun my client application (developed in VB6)..
The server is set to run on Windows Autentication Mode and i've enabled the TCP/IP in the Local and Remote connections in Surface Area and the TCP/IP is enabled.
I am having an issue with the login time from my program to authenticate through the SQLExpress. I have the latest version and I am using for code this :
Dim cnn As New SqlConnection(Globals.m_con_str) Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("star_login", cnn)
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader() If dr.HasRows Then While dr.Read() ..........execution of successful login end while end if
If cnn.State = ConnectionState.Open Then cnn.Close() End If
My issue is this. Once you have done this once speed is good from there on out. After you log out of the program, the login is good. I have tried reindexing because I though this might be the issue but it did nothing.
I am running sql 2005, I recently changed my sql login account for security reasons. The site is connecting to the database fine but in my server logs, all the Search engine bots are causing sql login errors. Its like they are still cacheing the old account
hi all, have anyone else met with the following problem.we've got a SQL2000SP3a on a 2 active-active node clusters of W2K3,this cluster in using AD.I've found that whenever I use Enterprise Manager on my local computerto register the above instance, it will constantly produce "Failedlogin for <Domain><DomainUser>" errors in the Windows Security Log ofthe database server machine. There's no failed login in the SQL errorlog and I can work normally with the Enterprise Manager. The OS failedlogins error are gone once I un-register the instance from myEnterprise Manager.Does anyone know or met with this before?
I have SQL 2000 Server that had a database called ABC and it has been moved to another server on 5-15-2007 I kept ABC database in Read_only mode for few days (just in case) on old server and finally dropped it on 5-20-2007 and I think I forgot to drop the associated logins. I started seeing login failure for user 'xyz' in error logs When I first noticed the login failure error in SQL Server log for login xyz, I deleted xyz login but it did not stop the errors.
I have been trying from then and no luck in identifying the cause/ resolving this issue. I have ran SQL profiler trace and caught the user hostnames, NTusername in few cases and Application Name and contacted the Application owner & user (who are in the trace) to stop windows service/ schedule jobs..anything that is pointing to old server but the bad luck is they are not aware of anything running or pointing to old server. The worst part is the user whose hostnames are shown in the trace have never used ABC database and do not have any idea.
Here is what I found in the profiler trace: TextData LoginName NTUserName HostName ApplicationName Login failed for user 'xyz' xyz AB00007 WAB000007 Microsoft (r) Windows Script Host
Today I have created the xyz login in the server and assigned model database with reader permission to see if log some different error but nothing new (the same login failure error) Finally, I had no solution other than restoring the ABC database back to my old server and set it in to Read_Only mode to stop these errors and Now I see the login 'xyz' firing the query against the database
* Any hint or pointers why this is happening and any possible solution on this?
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)
-This is the error that is being generated once the site is hosted. If I run my code from my machine and access my remote sql 2005 database it works fine. It is when I try to login from my URL directly that I get the error. Any thoughts? Thanks.
The SQL ERRORLOG shows: Error is 3414, Severity 21, State 2 and says: "An error occurred during recovery, preventing the database 'model' (database ID 3) from restarting." Just prior to this, I get a warning: "did not see LP_CKPT_END".
Any thoughts why this might be and how I can fix this?
I have created an installation application which will install the application with SQL Express and .NET Framework 2.0.
If i install this application in a Fresh system(i.e which is not having SQL Express), it is installing the application with new database instance successfully.
But if i try to install the same in a system which is already having SQL Express, throwing "Object reference exception" because it is not able to create the new database instance.
Because of numerous problems trying to get sqlexpress working, I uninstalled it with the intention of reinstalling (via Add or Remove Programs). However, now when I try to reinstall it, I get a message that the I am not making a changes so it won't let me install it.
I do have sql server 2005 developer's edition installed; is that the reason? and does that mean I cannot have both installed on the same machine?

Been looking through the forums for a solution to this problem.I already tried granting access through statements such as:exec sp_grantloginaccess N1'machineNameASPNET'But they don't seem to work.. i vaguely remember seeing somewhere a DOS command line statement that grants access to the ASPNET_WP and that fixed my problem before on another computer.. but this is a new computer and i forgot to write down the command.Can anyone help explain and propose a solution to my problem. Many thanxs.
I've a SQL server that intermittently restarts itself mostly during. Its a SQL Server 6.5 SP4 running NT 4.0 SP6. It really has no rhyme or reason to it happening. The are no indications in either the SQL or the Nt events logs. Has anyone heard of this?
I have VS 2005 and SQL CE 3.0. I sometimes get the a FileNotFoundException when I first use ExecuteReader. I believe this is because a dll has not been copied across because if I restart the emulator I can get it to work again.
Do I need to add a cab file/dll to my project to stop this happening?
I have developed a report that pulls its data from an SSAS cube. The report is grouped on Fields!FacilityName. On each "page" of the report, I have information for the displayed facility.
At the top of each page in my report I have a textbox whose value is =Fields!FacilityName. Further down on the report I have another text box whose value is set exactly the same. When I preview the report, I always have a value in the upper box, but only sometimes have a value in the lower box. If I change the value in the lower box to just a text string, it will always display, but when I put in the actual field reference it does not. It always doesn't display for the same facility names. Remember, the upper textbox on the form always displays 100% of the time.
I have a Dundas chart in the middle of the page on the report between these textboxes, but another field that pulls parameters and even a matrix all render correctly below that chart.
They both have the same parent according to the properties. I have even copied and pasted the working textbox further down the screen, with no improvement. When I changed the value of the textbox to "=cstr(len(Fields!FacilityName))", on the pages when it wants to be blank, it reads 0, and on other pages it shows a larger number. But the other textbox on the screen will always properly show the FacilityName.
I have also tried changing the name of the textbox, settings output to YES instead of Auto. If I slide the non-working textbox up to the top of the page and the working textbox down to the bottom area of the page, the bevavior switches.
Does anybody know of rendering issues with textboxes showing the same infomation?
We are using HTTPS anonymous merge subscriptions....
Sometimes when trying to synchonise, we will get the following error messages returned to the subscriber....
The upload message to be sent to Publisher '**thewebserver**' is being generated The merge process is using Exchange ID '0F65CFCB-AF17-47DC-8D98-493A44C243E0' for this web synchronization session. The Merge Agent could not connect to the URL 'https://**thewebserver**/client/replisapi.dll' during Web synchronization. Please verify that the URL, Internet login credentials and proxy server settings are correct and that the Web server is reachable. The Merge Agent could not connect to the URL 'https://**thewebserver**/client/replisapi.dll' during Web synchronization. Please verify that the URL, Internet login credentials and proxy server settings are correct and that the Web server is reachable. The Merge Agent received the following error status and message from the Internet Information Services (IIS) server during Web synchronization: [401 :'Unauthorized']. When troubleshooting, ensure that the Web synchronization settings for the subscription are correct, and increase the internet timeout setting at the Subscriber and the connection timeout at the Web server.
If I then go to a web brower, put in the HTTPS address, it brings up the logon dialog - I put in the admin username and password to confirm the connection and that's fine.
We try and synchronise again, and this time it works - it's as though I have 'woken' it up again and it's happy to play.
Is increasing the timeouts as suggested by the error message the way to go ? If so, where does one set the 'internet timeout setting at the subscriber', and the 'connection timeout at the webserver' ?
I currently run a nightly replication from a windows server 2003 machine with sql server 2000 sp3 to a windows 2003 server machine with sql server 2005 sp1. I run a snapshot replication as merge is not supported from 2000 to 2005.
2 out 5 snapshots weekly fail with the following error:
2006-08-09 17:00:06.97 Message Code: 10054 2006-08-09 17:00:06.97 2006-08-09 17:00:06.97 [0%] The replication agent had encountered an exception. 2006-08-09 17:00:06.97 Source: Replication 2006-08-09 17:00:06.97 Exception Type: Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.ConnectionFailureException 2006-08-09 17:00:06.97 Exception Message: TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
I have setup the sql server 2005 agent service to automatic with a 'log on as' domain admin account. The sql server agent on the 2000 machine uses the local system account.
I'm having an issue with what appears to be SQL Server 2005 deciding to randomly ignore new connections.
I currently have two virtual servers - one running just SQL Server 2005, the other running Reporting Services, Windows Sharepoint Services and Team Foundation Server.
For 3 weeks, it was all working perfectly, then on Wednesday night the server (and both Virtual Servers) was rebooted after installing the latest updates for Windows. Since then, I've had this issue.
It will work fine for a while, then it'll start throwing loads of Errors and Warnings into the Event Log, all along the lines of unable to connect to the database. The Reporting Services Configuration utility throws up the same problem. Then randomly, it'll start working again.
If anyone has any ideas, they would be much appreciated as this is driving me crazy!
