Setup And Upgrade :: Determine What Port Does Named Instance Are Listening?
Sep 22, 2015
I have a named sql instance on SQL 2012. The issue is that the clients is having problem connecting to it when the firewall is on, this is not consistent. The connection is fine when I disabled the firewall. When I turned the Windows firewall back on, it will work for awhile and it fails. I checked the SQL configuration manager and saw that a dynamic port is assigned to the named instance. I did put that in the firewall rule and unblock it. I also put TCP 1433 and 1434 as well as the browser service port, TCPUDP 2382 and it still didn't work.What is the best way to determine what port does the named instance are listening?
I installed a default SQL Server 2012 instance on Windows Server 2012.I enabled the SQL Browser and changed the TCP port of the instance to 1435. I changed port 1433 to 1435 I was able to connect to the instance using SSMS on another server. Now I have to enter Servername,1435 to make a connection.Why does the SQL Browser not resolve the servername to the right IP address and port 1435? Why am I not able to make a connection when I enter the servername or <servername>MSSQLSERVER? Is a SQL Browser only resolving named instances?This works fine for a named instance. Is there something special about default instances or the SQL Browser?
i setup a 2 node sql cluster but 1433 is not listening. I check sql configuration manager and entered 1433 for all ip addresses restarted services but still not 1433
Thanks for Microsoft's Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003 that make the security much stronger. However, besides the invisible benefit so far, I have become the victim of this security policy.
I have several named instances of SQL 7/2000 installed in my machine. They are not visible out of the Microsoft new fire wall. I need to access the instances from outside the fire wall, but I don't know which port I should open for the instances.
From SQL online, the default instance of SQL server is connected through TCP/IP by default port 1433. I could successful open that port and made the default instance visible to outside. However, the port 1433 doesn't work for the named instances. SQL online said, the port for named instance is dynamically (by default) chosen the first time the instance is started. So, actually, I have no way to know the port.
Is there anyway that I can check the database or somewhere to get the port that is used by the named instance?
I have opened up a port on a remote SQL instance and can see that the port is LISTENING when using the PortQry tool. I have also set the TCP port in the TCP/IP properties in the IPAll section for that instance, yet I am unable to connect and get an error of
Connection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed while attempting to consume the pre-login handshake acknowledgement. This could be because the pre-login handshake failed or the server was unable to respond back in time. The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=1; handshake=14998; (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I have done this on other instances, although they were default instances, and it has always worked fine.
I have TWO named SQL Server instances (on the same machine) and I need to know the port of each of them, how can I do that? Is it write to check the following:
Which one to take: "TCP Dynamic Ports" or "TCP Port"? and what is the difference between them anyways?
Can the two instances (or more) on the same machine use the same port?!
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 changed the Port of my named instance to use static port but still error log is giving two values ,why??
spid15sServer is listening on [ 'any' <ipv6> 50152]. spid15sServer is listening on [ 'any' <ipv4> 50152]. ServerServer is listening on [ ::1 <ipv6> 57518]. ServerServer is listening on [ 127.0.0.1 <ipv4> 57518].
I have a new named instance (SQL Server 2005 x64 SP2 (Build 3159) Developer edition) setup with dynamic port selection. A default instance was also running on the server prior to the named instance setup.
SQL Server Browser service is running. Remote connections are configured on the named instance. But still remote clients can only connect when the port number is specified after the instance name (servernameinstancename,9999). Without the port number, "error 26 - Error locating Server/instance specified" is thrown.
Doesn't the SQL Server Browser service eliminate the need for clients to specify the port number? What am I missing?
We have 2 clustered SQL instances (2 physical servers in each cluster). Instance2 needs to be setup as a linked server on Instance1.
At this time port 1433 between them is not open. I am referring to the port on the network switch, not in the Windows Firewall (ports in Windows Firewall are already open).
Is opening the port between virtual IP-s sufficient? Or does port need to be open between all physical source/destination IP-s as well?
Though to setup Alwayson, it is necessary to have both SQl Instances to be in same version, same database file path , etc.But, is this possible to setup the AlwaysOn between a default and a named instance?
I have two software products that are accessing the same MSDE Database instance. I recently upgraded the MSDE instance to SQL Express using the in place method. The upgrade runs with success. However, one scenerio is breaking both software products.
1. Product A is not installed
2. An older version of Product B which uses MSDE is intalled.
3. I upgrade the MSDE instance to SQL Express
4. An older version of Product A is installed that uses MSDE.
Note: At this point the install of product A attempts to install an MSDE named instance that is the same as the upgraded instance
5. The install of Product A fails and corrupts the registry keys
6. Now my SQL Express named instance is corrupt and product B can not find the database instance.
Question: Can MSDE and SQL Express run side by side with both having an instance with the same name? I am pretty sure that the answer is going to be No.
If not, how can I prevent this scenerio from occurring. I'm thinking that I will have to do a side by side upgrade creating a new instance with a different name. Then I will have to direct both products to the new named instance. Any ideas or suggestions?
I got the following error using either NT or SQL Login ('sa') that are sysadmin in my SQL 2005 instance:
Your Account information could not be verified for one or more instances. Ensure that you can connect to all the selected instances using the account information provided. To process further deselect the instances to which connectivity cannot be established.
However, I would login to SQL 2005 named instance, either NT or SQL login 'sa' without any problems to do anything I want because both are sysadmin.
<PS> Note that my default SQL instance in my local server is SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 named instance.
I needed to re-install the entire sql server 2005, I used add/remove program. everything went normal, except reporting service. I deleted the entire upper sql server directory, rebooted the box, however, it still shows up in services, even though the path does not exist. I tried to reinstall it again, but it complains about name already exists. I cannot change the name, but I am not able to find how I can remove it and reinstall it properly.

I'm working on a school project on web and mobile applications, and had decided to use MS SQL Server for my backend database.
However, after I've installed MS SQL Server 2000, I ran a port scan and I couldn't find the server running on any ports (MySQL is running on my port 3306, but I guess it doesn't matter) Can something drop some hints on how to debug the problem?
I'm running on Athlon XP 2000+ w/ Windows XP Professional SP2
I have SQL Server in NT 4.0 which has two IP addresses. How to force the SQL Server to listen to specific IP address ? We can make client to listen to specific port & IP and let me know the way to configure SQL Server to listen only to specific port that will make to ensure that SQL Server can be communicated throught that specific port.
Your answer would be highly appreciated. regards, Nana
I am trying to setup a client alias to connect to a named instance on another server.

Hi. I'm a SQL Server novice, so apologies if any of this sounds simple.I am running Windows XP SP2, and have just installed SQLServer 2000. Ineed another application to connect to SQLServer, and am specifying itto do so via localhost:1433, but keep getting an error whenever I trydoing so saying it cannot connect to the database. A colleague of minehas the exact same set up on his machine, and he can connect to SQLServer fine. Running 'netstat -a' at the command line on his machinereveals that the system is listening to port 1433/ms-sql-s. Runningnetstat on my machine shows that the system is not listening to1433/ms-sql-ms. I have checked in Network Config in SQLServerEnterprise Manager, and TCP/IP is set to be using 1433.To confirm this, my application can connect over the network to mycolleague's SQL Server. but he cannot connect over the network to mine.So I'm pretty sure the issue is related to this 1433/ms-sql-s problem.Does anyone know how to resolve this? Many thanks.

We have installed 2014 sql server on a stand alone VM and can create alerts without issue. We recently did a cluster install of 2014, and when trying to create alerts get the following error:
Msg 14262, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_verify_performance_condition, Line 52 The specified object_name ('Databases') does not exist.
Specifically, we are trying to create a database alert on percent log used that will kick off a job to back up the log.
We are on Windows 2012R2 o/s. In the drop downs in SSMS under alerts, we do not have all the options we have in the stand alone instance - they are not there. Is this a bug? Is there a CU?
I have an existing, licensed installation of SQL 2008 R2, with one database instance. I need to add a second instance, but do not currently have access to the installation media. Can I use the Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Enterprise
Evaluation: Trial Experience for IT Professionals installer that's available for download from the Microsoft download site?
If I install a new named instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 on a machine that already has 3 named instances that are upgraded to service pack 3, will the install of the new instance overwrite any of the current SP3 files? Will I have to re-apply SP 3 to the existing instances?
If I'm on a remote machine, meaning a computer not in the WSFC cluster, and I open SSMS 2014, point it to a SQL Instance, and open activity monitor:
1. I get all the panes and charts except % Processor Time.
2. Then, if I authenticate to the cluster's domain by mapping a drive with valid domain credentials, I'm free to put performance counters in the Perfmon - - - but SQL Activity Monitor shuts down with“The Activity Monitor is unable to execute queries against server SQL-V01INSTANCE1..Activity monitor for this instance will be placed into a paused state.Use the context menu in the overview pane to resume the activity monitor.
Additional information: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))(Mscorlib)”
3. Of course, the Activity monitor can't be resumed via the context menu. Removing counters and closing the perfmon do not work. I dropped the mapped drive and rebooted the machine. That brought back 95% of the information in the Activity monitor.
4. Further experimentation showed that any mapping of drive shares present on the SQL Server to the computer running SSMS cut off functionality of the 'overview' pane in the remote machine's SQL Activity monitor -- the monitor that had been trying to watch the server offering the shares.
Where does the "Dynamically determine port" check box come from when creating a ODBC connection using TCP/IP in the client configuration? Only shows up in the control panel/adminstrative tools/Data Sources (ODBC) when it is installed. I have 3 computers here that have it (they are for development) but I am finding my users desktops do not have the box and so I am getting errors trying to connect from their desktops.
I am using Excel and Microsoft Access 2000 to connect to the server using the ODBC connection.
I need my users to connect to SQL Server 2005 so I need the "Dynamically determine port" box checked to find the port. Tried typing in the port but that isn't solving the problem or answering my question. So far I have tried MDAC and .NET 2.0 platform installs with no luck.
I have access to the default instance of a SQL Server ..... I have access to the QA only .. by reading the registry through the QA I get to knw that there are additional 4 more instances on the Server ..... is is possible to get the port on which they are listening using the QA ....
I knw that we can go to the servers network utility & see it there in the TCP /IP ... but i dont have access to that , neither do i have access to the error logs that tell me , on which port is SQL Server listening to
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.
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 ?
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)
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?
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?
