Setup And Upgrade :: Unable To Make Remote Connections
Apr 26, 2015
For some reason i am not able to make remote connections from VS 2013 to my current installation of SQL server 2008 so i thought to uninstall it and install another edition i got from MSDN but i the uninstall process keeps failing saying theres a known compatibility issues with 2008 and 2008 R2. it also gave me the option to seek solution online but when i click on it it is unable to get a solution online and i am never able to uninstall it. i need to get SQL server up and running.
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.
How does one enable sql connections limits for user connections per new and existing databases? how to do it on whole server per database but not set a limit per user.Looks like this must be run on each databases but what if you have 100s of databases:
USE AdventureWorks2012 ; GO EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1; GO RECONFIGURE ; GO EXEC sp_configure 'user connections', 325 ; GO RECONFIGURE; GO
I am working with a client who is rolling out 50+ VM's based of a template we created. This is SQL 2012 CU1 running on Windows Server 2008 R2. Using the default service account the installer has it registers fine and we get the following in the SQL log.
The SQL Server Network Interface library successfully registered the Service Principal Name (SPN) [ MSSQLSvc/server.domain.com:1433 ] for the SQL Server service.
When we change to a domain service account through SQL configuration manager we see the following and cannot connect remote using integrated authentication The SQL Server Network Interface library could not register the Service Principal Name (SPN) [ MSSQLSvc/server.domain.com:1433 ] for the SQL Server service. Windows return code: 0x2098, state: 15. Failure to register a SPN might cause integrated authentication to use NTLM instead of Kerberos. This is an informational message. Further action is only required if Kerberos authentication is required by authentication policies and if the SPN has not been manually registered.
My understanding is you should and could change service accounts using the SQL Server Configuration Manager and it would set all permissions. Is there something we need to do in addition to get this up and working?
We're doing upgrades from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2014. This is blocked due to RS is installed but not configured. Our desired action is to uninstall RS and proceed with the upgrade. But when setuparp.exe is raised, it does not list all the features on the 'Select Features' page. In fact, it only lists the last 2 shared features (SQ Client Connectivity SDK and Microsoft Sync Framework). However, all items appear to be listed on the 'Select Instance' page including RS. I've seen this issue on 2 of our SQL 2008 R2 Servers already.
I'm trying to install SQL Server Management studio 2012 on my Windows 7 (x64) standalone laptop. When I click "New SQL stand-alone installation..." it runs a Setup Support Rules check and always fails "Setup Account Privileges". I've looked into the error and I keep getting that I need to change security rules but I don't have that option in window 7. How do I get around this without having to resort to a computer running Windows Server?
I have Visual Studio 2013 premium installed along with Localdb v11. I just want to connect and manage my database engine through SSMS when developing any application.
Fellow Devs, I have an instance of SQL Server Express 2005 running on another box and I have Remote Connections enabled over both TCP/IP and Named Pipes, but on my other box I keep getting the error that the server does not accept Remote Connections. Any ideas why this might be happening? Is there some other configuration?
I am running a number of SQL instances on my PC. Within the network, I have think server with various System Center components. For compatibility reasons, some features of System Center 2012 R2 had to be delegated to different SQL databases. My question is, because there is now more than one IP address on my system, and each instance of SQL is assigned to its own IP, is there a way to setup DNS and SQL so the namespace points to the desired IP address? For Instance:
MSSQL2008 instance is set to run on = 11.12.13.1 MSSQL2012 is set to run on = 11.12.13.2 IN DNS: A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.1 A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.2
If I want to use MSSQL2008 by specifying Mike-PC as the DNS name, how would I do that with 100% accuracy? If there is another way to get the job done, I am more than willing to approach this differently.
HiI'm going insane.I have a club starter kit on my local server which is working fine.I have migrated the database to my remote host and seems to have transfered ok.For a brief period I was able to connect to the database remotely, but now I cannot I get the following, even though SQL Server Surface Area Config is set to accept remote connections.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: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.)This is my connection string;<add name="ClubSiteDB" connectionString="Data Source=xx.xxx.xx.xx,xxxx; Network Library=DBMSSOCN; Initial Catalog=tets; User ID=sqladminbob;Password=sqlbob4398;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient="/>I hav also tried to use aspnet_regsql.exe to add the remote provider but I get the same message. Thanks
I am new to SQL Server 7 and am not sure how to handle setting up/importing FoxPro databases. The consultants that setup the database before me have combined all of the FoxPro databases into one big database in SQL server. The reasoning was that for user applications to have access to different databases in SQL they would need a connection for each database they are using, so if all the data is put into one database then the user would only have one database connection instead of 6 or 7.
Does this make sense to anyone? Someone else thought that this might have been true is SQL Server 6.5 but not in SQL Server 7.0. Any help will be appreciated.
We utilise SQL scripts, executed via sqlcmd.exe, to upgrade the schema and common data of our database(s) when we deploy new versions of our software to a production site. At the moment we simply wait until after hours to do the upgrade and ask nicely for all users to not use the system for a while.
Obviously, asking nicely doesn't always work, and there is also the issue of scheduled server tasks and web services / web sites that operate against the database 24/7.
What are our options for putting the entire server (or preferrably just one database) into a semi-offline state so that users and services cannot connect to it while our script connects and performs the upgrade? I imagine there may be several approaches each with their own pros and cons.
If you could point me in the right direction or perhaps mention what strategy has worked for you, it would be greatly appreciated. We perform these upgrades from hundreds of kilometers away via VPNs and Remote Desktop so we can't just unplug the network cable :).
Its been almost 10 years since I have had to do work with good-old RecordSet objects...
I am filling a RecordSet with data returned from a SQL server via a stored procedure. I then set the ActiveConnection property to Nothing in order to disconnect it so I can make changes to it.
But when I try to set the value on a given row I get back a "Multiple-step operation generated errors. Check each status value" error message. My understanding is that this is indicative of trying to use the wrong datatype. I have verified that the type is correct (I am dealing with integers) so I am at a loss for what the problem could be.
Oddly enough, when I look at the Attribute property of the field I get back a value of 112. When you break it down I think that value indicates the row value is read-only? (Could that be my problem? Just a really bad/unhelpful error message?) But if I try to change it I get back a message saying cannot be done since RecordSet is already open.
Does someone have a guide or a link to a guide to allow remote connections from a default install?
Just that I'm currently testing my setup on a work laptop but not having much success but thats probably down to the network admins limiting me far too much on here.
However I am getting a new DELL machine, which I'm gonna make sure the network admins get no where near. Once I have this machine I will be forwarding port 1433 to the machine, but need to know what other changes I need to make to allow my friend access to the machine as well.
So I'd need to know what server settings I need to change and also what my friend needs to do as a client.
I did run upgrade advisior to check the existed sql 2005 standard edition to upgrade to enterprise editon. I got the following error message:
SQL Server version: 09.00.1399 is not supported by this release of Upgrade Advisor
Is it means the upgrade advisor can only work on from 7.0, 2000 to 2005? If I need check from standard to enterjprise in 2005, what kind of tool I can use?
Good Morning, I've been searching through all the tutorials and questions, have tried many things. I am still getting "[SqlException (0x80131904): 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)]"
as an error. This is what I've got:

I read through the post at http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2007/05/13/sql-network-interfaces-error-26-error-locating-server-instance-specified.aspx but as I'm new to SqlServer I do not know how to check on the first three items.
I'm getting extremely frustrated, and would just like the login portion of this website to start working before my boot ends up through the computer. Please help, lol, thank you.
While trying to transfer my website project to another computer I am encountering an error when tryng to run the solution. It gives me a "Does not allow remote connections". Why is this when on the original computer everything worked fine.
Hi folks,Perhaps every 100 calls to DB i get 1 error message like 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)" i am using SQL 2000 and am wondering why this happens.I appreciate your help.Leo.
I am getting the following connection 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)When I run the page locally on my develepment environment, the page runs fine. I'm using VS2005 and SQL Server Management Studio Express.When I upload the page to the remote server, I get the connection error indicated above.To further troubleshoot the issue, I created a simple test page with the connection string hardcoded in the code-behind and binded to a dropdownlist using the following code:SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=xxx.xxx.xxx.xx;network=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=TechCenter;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xxxxx;Password=xxxxxrx;Asynchronous Processing=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True"); conn.Open(); SqlDataReader dr; SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("SELECT RecordID, customer_id FROM Customers WHERE recordtype <> 'F' ORDER BY customer_id ASC", conn); dr = command.ExecuteReader(); while (dr.Read()) { DropDownList1.Items.Add(new ListItem(dr["customer_id"].ToString(), dr["RecordID"].ToString())); } dr.Close(); conn.Close();When I run the test page, it works fine, so I know I'm using the correct connection string properties.When I move the connection string to the web.config file and using a dataset with a tableadapter, I get the error about the sql server not allowing remote connections? I'm stumped. I cannot isolate the cause of the error.The remote server is using sql server 2000 and error indicates it is trying to connect to SQL Server 2005??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.
I have a need to connect to a remote (i.e. database on the clients site) SQL Server database from a live application. It is relatively easy under Oracle, but I havent tried to do to an SQL Server. Has anyone done this? The remote SQL Server database in question is 6.5 You can set up odbc connections to remote clients (99% sure on this) so you could go this way. You can also connect directly to a sql box through an IP address in sql7, but I am not too sure how it is with 6.5.
I installed full version of SqlServer 2005. Iam able to Connect to all the systems that are in Intranet. But iam not able to Connect to the external systems (or) remote Connections. I followed all the steps that are in the following URL support.microsoft.com/kb/914277 Still iam getting the problem. Show me a way in this issue.
The problem is that we are having Problem while making the remote Connection to the Sql Server 2005
Basically We are having a problem connecting to SQL2005 through a package remotely. when we try to connect to a remote data base, we get the following error
[Connection manager "CRA LRRS Development DB"] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Login timeout expired". An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "SQL Network Interfaces: Error Locating Server/Instance Specified [xFFFFFFFF]. ".
Although by running the configuration manager on the Remote DataBase System we have enable the Remote Connections through name and IP both but still it cant access it.
Please tell us the possible consequences and provide us the feedback.
I will be really obliged if any of you can provide us the feedback on it as soon as possible.
I am running a standalone WinXP SP2 system with VS 8 and SS 5 Express on it. I have been working very nicely with VB and SSCE, but I want to learn to use Sql Server 5 Express, which I also have on my system from a prior install of VS 5. I am strictly doing this as a learning experience on my own.
I have been trying to install the NW sample database into SS 5 Ex, but it is obviously not configured properly, because I am getting errors stating that the scripts cannot install because they cannot establish a remote connection to SS. So I looked up the FAQ item here on setting up for remote connections (which I am not even sure applies for a standalone system like mine). Anyway, I followed the instructions in the FAQ, using the SAC util to configure for remote connections, but it does not work. Every time I try to start the DB engine, it fails with the following message:
When trying to start Database Engine when configuiriung for remote connections in SAC:
"TITLE: Surface Area Configuration ------------------------------ The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion, you need administrator privileges to be able to start/stop this service. (SQLSAC)
Now, I am the admin user on the PC but OK, so I selected the SAC option to set myself as SSadmin, even though this option is supposedly only for Vista users according to the dialog. Anyway, it does not allow me to set myself as SSAdmin, it returns the following error:
When trying to add myself to SQLSAC, even though it is for Vista:
"TITLE: .Net SqlClient Data Provider ------------------------------ 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) For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtI D=2&LinkId=20476"
(which help link is no help BTW, because it is not valid). And the setting does not get set, because the next time I open that dialog, I am back to being a non-admin user.
So what is the solution here? Am I going to be able to use SS 5 Ex on my PC? No matter which connection option I select, either local only, or for any of the remote options, I cannot get it to work. Am I supposed to reboot my PC after changing a setting? Or is it just not possible to run SS 5 Ex on a standalone PC like mine?
Or worse, are there a bunch of other configuration settings I must change as well? I note that, when I look in the SS Config Manager at the properties for SS Express, I see that it shows the logon option that uses the built-in account "Network Service"rather than Local System or Local Service; is that correct? BTW the browser is always running in all this.
As you may gather, I know zip nada about SS, but I am an experienced VB/VBA/VC+/FP programmer of many years, did desktop Access databases w/VB6 frontends for a lot of customers, so I am familiar with DB design etc. I just know next to nothing about backend stuff like this, other than a little with BTrieve years ago.
I am having trouble with Report Manager. It seems that every day or every other day we get this message:
"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: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No such host is known.) 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."
To fix this we open the Surface Area Configuration for the server that hosts the Reporting Database and stop and restart the database engine then open up the Surface Area Configuration for the server that hosts the Report Manger database and stop and restart that database engine along with the Reporting Services Browser.
This actually may not be the exact order that we do the stop/starts because we have tried so many different combinations (ie. stop one then start another then restart that one, etc.). Anyway, we usually keep on stoping and restarting until we can get back into Report Manager without getting the error message from above.
Does anyone have any insight as to what this could be??

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.
This question has probably been asked a few times on the forum but none of the answers work for my situation.
I recently installed SQL Server 2005. When trying to connect to my server, locally, using Management studio, I get 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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53).
I have already enabled remote connections in the Surface Area Configuration, using TCP/IP and pipes. I created exceptions in the Firewall and started the Server Browser service.
I downloaded VS studio express, and created a personal website using the wizard to test drive the thing. When I hit ctr + f5 to run the sample provided, then I get this message:
"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) "
I tried disabling the firewall (Norton's firewall because Windows is disable always). Any suggestions? This is a brand-new machine, running XP sp2, just downloaded the VS studio express.
I'm without a clue when it comes to SQL and how to secure it!
I've set up a SQLExpress running on a dedicated server on the web and I'm using TCP/IP remote connection to connect to the DB from a the web server running the ASP .
Would it be better using named pipes?
Also is there some way I can additionally authenticate a connection based on IP numbers?
