The Configuration Of The AdminConnectionTCP Protocol In The SQL Instance SQLEXPRESS Is Not Valid

Mar 4, 2006

Hello,

I am getting the following warning in the Application Event Log:

The configuration of the AdminConnectionTCP protocol in the SQL instance SQLEXPRESS is not valid.

The warning is logged by the SQLBrowser service.

This is happening on Windows 2003 server with SQL Server Express 2005. On the same machine SQL Server 2000 is installed.

I am currently unable to connect from remote clients to the instance of SQL Express and I believe it has to do with this warning (I've tried all the usual remote connection troubleshooting without success - enabled protocols, SQL Browser Service running, there is no firewall on the server, I disabled firewall on the client when trying to connect).

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

If you need additional information please let me know.

The Configuration Of The AdminConnectionTCP Protocol In The SQL Instance XX Is Not Valid.

Aug 28, 2007

I have a 2 node SQL Server 2005 cluster with 2 named instances. Both appear
to be working properly with no issues but I have the following warning
message in the event viewer and I would like to know if it is something I
should be worried about.

Source: SQL Browser
Type: Warning
Category: None
User: N/A
Description: The configuration of the AdminConnectionTCP protocol in the
SQL instance XX is not valid.

The servers in the cluster are running with Windows Server 2003 X64 Enterprise
Edition, SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition SP2 X64.

I have failed the cluster over and I continue to get the message when I
start the instances in the cluster admin, but I don't appear to have any
other symptons. Client machines can connect without any problem and
transactional replication works no matter what node I bring the instance up
on.

I changed default TCP/IP port and disable/enable Named pipes, but no luck so far.
I see lots of postings about this message but it seems to be related to
SQLExpress and I am not using that here.

Any info would be appreciated.

Force Protocol Encryption In SQL2005 Client Configuration Doesn't...

Feb 5, 2007

I am accessing a SQL2005 Express SP1 Server via TCP/IP (all machines fully up to date with windows update). For ease of configuration the Server IP is mapped to an Alias in Native Client Configuration Manager. On the Client Force Protocol Encryption is set to Yes and Trust Server Certificate is set to No. The clients are accessing the DB via SQL 2005 Management studio express and Ms Access 2003 (an access adp front end to the sql database).

As a test i turned off force encryption on the server. A Network trace shows no encryption! Turning on force encryption on the server corrects this.

As a further test I configured the server with a certificate the client doesn't trust. No error is generated by the un-trusted certificate! The only way to generate the certificate error is to enable encryption in the connection properties of each application. Why isn't the Native Client Configuration Manager utility enforcing this???

This brings me on to a second (off-topic problem). In my access adp file, if I enable €śuse encryption for data€? advanced option under the database connection dialog all works as expected (encryption + certificate verification). However, I am programmatically updating the connection in VBA

Application.CurrentProject.OpenConnection "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=AliasName;Use Encryption for Data=True;..."

If I do this no encryption is enabled!!! Access seems to just ignore the encryption statement.

Has anybody got any ideas as to why either of these issues are occurring or if there are any workarounds?

Thanks

Stuart

Instance Specified Not Valid

Feb 27, 2004

Hi,

I'm trying to install MSDE SP3 which I downloaded from MS at http://www.asp.net/msde/.
Following the instructions as best I can I unzipped the file into a Folder now called MSDE located on C: I then went to a command prompt and typed in the command given to start the install:

setup SAPWD=testsite SecurityMode=SQL

Hit enter and the installer started up and ran for a few secs and then came back with

The Instance named specified is invalid

There was no mention of including an instance name or the format for it.

Suggestions please?

Also, if I want to completly uninstall MSDE if I need to how would I do it?

Thanks,
Bob

SQLExpress Services Not Showing In Configuration Manager

Nov 9, 2006

Hello strange problem needs help...

When I open SQL server configuration manager / expand SQL server 2005 network configuration, I have a Protocols for SQLEXPRESS but under SQL server 2005 services branch, I cannot find a reference to my SQLEXPRESS database service. This causes a problem because, I cannot enable or disable SQLExpress.

I've tried to remove the SQLExpress instance by going to Add/Remove Programs but it doesn't work.  After I restart the computer, the entry SQLEXPRESS: database service is still there.

I cannot reinstall SQLEXPRESS either because it saids instance name already exist.

 

When I try 'net start mssql$sqlexpress' it saids "the service name is invalid"

When I try 'sqlcmd -S <my server name here>SQLEXPRESS  it saids

HResult 0x274D, Level 16, State 1
TCP Provider: No connection could be made because the target machine actively re
fused it.

Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : An error has occurred while establi
shing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failu
re may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not
 allow remote connections..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired. 

I'm pulling my hair out because according to the error message above, I should use surface area configuration tool to enable remote connections but I can't even see the SQLEXPRESS entry inside the tool!!! 

HELP!! I have an asp.net app that uses Membership Provider and it used to work. but somehow it doesn't work because of this strange sqlexpress issue.

When I run the app 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: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.)

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Scale Greater Than Precision - Not A Valid Instance Of Data Type Real

Feb 14, 2006

Our shop recently upgraded to MS SQL 2005 server from the prior SQL 2000 product.

I receive and error during processing related to inserting a value into a field of datatype real. This worked for years under MS SQL 2000 and now this code throws an exception.

The exception states:

The incoming tabular data stream (TDS) remote procedure call (RPC) protocol stream is incorrect. Parameter 15 ("@TEST"): The supplied value is not a valid instance of data type real. Check the source data for invalid values. An example of an invalid value is data of numeric type with scale greater than precision.

This error is caused by inserting several values that fall outside of a range that MS SQL 2005 documentation specifies.

The first value that fails is 6.61242e-039. SQL Server 2005 documentation seems to indicate that values for the datatype real must be - 3.40E + 38 to -1.18E - 38, 0 and 1.18E - 38 to 3.40E + 38.

Why doesn't 6.61242e-039 just default to 0 like it used to?

I saw an article that might apply, even though I just use a C++ float type and use some ATL templates.

Is my question related to this post?http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=201636&SiteID=1

SQLExpress, User Instance And Detach

Feb 17, 2006

Basically I need to know how to detach a db from a user instance of SQL Express from inside a VS2005 windows forms application.

The application is project oriented and the design calls for each project to be stored in its own separate .mdf file. When the user wants to switch projects the application will detach the current database and attach a different one, containing the data for the desired project.

I have this working fine with the default (.SQLEXPRESS) db instance, but I am having a problem getting the code to work with a SQL Express user instance (also part of the specification).

I am using the SMO library to do the Detach, and this works fine with the default instance, but for the user instance I am unable to connect to the necessary (user) instance of the db server.

I have tried selecting the instance name from dm_os_child_instances on the default instance and using the dynamically generated instance name to create the Server object. I get a good instance name, but when I create the Server object, the connection fails. I have also tried issuing "sp_detach_db" on the user instance, but this fails because the db is in use.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

(Problem) Named Instance As SQLEXPRESS?

Apr 13, 2007

What if I give my named instance as SQLEXPRESS? I read that SQLEXPRESS

Can I Connect To SQLExpress Instance Using (local)

Feb 19, 2007

Hello,

I am using the following connection string to connect to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition installed on my local PC.
string sqlstr = "Server=(local);Database=MyDB;User ID=sa;Password=sa;Trusted_Connection=False";

And it gives me the following error. The string works fine in computer with SQL Server 2000 instance but fails with 2005. The string also fails for "Server = localhost".
However the string works very fine if I use the name of Server 2005 i.e ./SQLExpress

===================================

Cannot connect to (local).

===================================

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) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

------------------------------
Error Number: 2
Severity: 20
State: 0


------------------------------

 

Now the main problem is that, of course I could use a named instance, but since I am embedding the Connection String in a dll file so that any user can use it to connect it to the local instance of the SQL Server 2005 installed in his/her computer, I need to use "server = localhost". Doesn't SQL 2005 support this. If yes, where could i find option to enable it?

I have enabled every option available in surface area configuration for SQL Server 2005, but nothing seems to help out. I even use local as well as remote connections using both TCP/IP and named pipes.
Can nyone help me out?

I am installing SQL 2005 Express on several laptops (IBM Thinkpads and Dell latitudes) and I've noticed that doing the exact came configuration options with the exact same file, the IBM thinkpads just take the Machine name for SQL Server, while the Dells take MachinenameSQLEXPRESS. I am wondering how I can get it to just take the machine name on the Dells.

SqlExpress Instance In Connection String Instead Of Full Sql 2005

Sep 27, 2006

Hello, I had started my project with the express edition, then I switched to the pro one. The problem is that in my webconfig I still have  .SQLEXPRESS and I don't know how to modify that to use the full version of Sql server. <add name="MyConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MyDataBase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> When I look at the surface area manager I can see that I have 2 instances running : MSSQLSERVER and SQLEXPRESS.When starting Sql Server Management Studio I can connect to 2 servers: NEWDELL and NEWDELLSQLEXPRESS.And when I try to replace SQLEXPRESS by MSSQLSERVER in the connectionstring, then it doesn't connect.I remember having lost connection already when playing with all these tools, so I pay attention now ! That's why any help would be really appreciated ! Thank you.

SQLEXPRESS Instance On SQL SErver 2005 Standard Edition

Jan 10, 2007

What happens when you install a SQLEXPRESS instance on a machine that already has SQL Server 2005? Will the SQLEXPRESS still run in the limited mode or will it sense that an full standard version of SQL Server 2005 is already present and just "upgrade" itself?

On the otherhand, how do I "upgade" an existing instance of SQLEXPRESS to a full version of SQL Server 2005 standard edition without uninstalling and installing the standard edition. If I have both the instances then will the SQLEXPRESS be freed from its limits?

Thanks,

Vikram

After Restoring MASTER Database, Can't Start SQLServer Service: Configuration Block Version 0 Is Not A Valid Version Number

Jul 16, 2007

Now, I checked and verified that my backup version of SQL Server is the same as the version installed on the computer I'm restoring too.



I have SQL Server on a production machine that I backed up and want to test a full restore on a dev machine to make sure it will work when I need it to.



Now that I've run the restore command on my tape backup and go to restart the SQL server service I receive:

Configuration block version 0 is not a valid version number. SQL Server is exiting. Restore the master database or reinstall.



I'm afraid I don't understand why this is happening. If the builds are the same, then shouldn't restoring the MASTER database have worked normally and I'd be able to restart the service now?



Any thoughts or suggestions?

Can't Change TCP Port Using Configuration Manager For X64 SQL 2005 SP1 Virtual Instance

Feb 27, 2007

Hi, I hope someone can help me!   I changed the TCP port that the default instance of SQL 2005 x64 SP1 is listening on and now SQL server won't start as the port is being used - no problem I say to myself, I'll just change it again, however I can't!  

My problem is that I can not change the TCP Port back again using Configuration Manager - no matter what values I put in, after a restart of the instance it comes up with this in the IP Addresses tab for TCP/IP Properties and SQL Server won't start:

IP1
Active   Yes
Enabled   No
IP Address  aaa.bbb.ccc.111
TCP Dynamic Ports
TCP Port  0

IP2
Active   Yes
Enabled   No
IP Address  aaa.bbb.ccc.222
TCP Dynamic Ports
TCP Port  0

IP3
Active   Yes
Enabled   No
IP Address  aaa.bbb.ccc.333
TCP Dynamic Ports
TCP Port  0

IP4
Active   Yes
Enabled   No
IP Address  10.1.1.1
TCP Dynamic Ports
TCP Port  0

IP5
Active   Yes
Enabled   No
IP Address  127.0.0.1
TCP Dynamic Ports
TCP Port  0

IPALL
TCP Dynamic Ports 2020
TCP Port  2020

Interestingly, the ip address that the server is listening on aaa.bbb.ccc.444 is not reported in the list of IP addresses in the configuration manager for this instance, yet it is when I view the available IP addresses for the other two instances - is this significant?

I have tried failing to the other node, changing it there, changing it at the console and also while logged onto the the virtual machine remote desktop, rebooting both nodes, etc, etc.   There are two other instances on this cluster that are still working fine but I hvae not attempted to change the TCP ports they listen on.

I used the same method to change this default instance as I did for a named instance on a similarly configured cluster and it worked fine.   How to fix this?

Recovery :: Backup Server Instance Including COMPLETE Configuration

Nov 8, 2015

There is a lot of documention concerning data(base) backups, but I could not find information about how to backup a complete SQL Server instance (data + configuration) or the SQL server configuration (= everything, that is not user payload). you always re-configure your system after restoring, especially because you will forget some settings?I found following things necessary to backup configuration:

server-wide:
security: login, roles, ...
server objectsserver properties (e.g. collation, connection or memory settings; see SSMS "Server - Properties")
per database
database settings (SSMS - database - properties)scheme

1. Is there anything missing?In case of a severe system crash I would like to be able to recover the system using a full system image of the virtual machine. However I just create these images after significant changes (e.g. Windows service pack).The SQL server should be backuped independently from these system images.

2. Even if I used SQL Server maintenance plan, choose "backup all databases" and additionally backup resources DB manually I think, that some configuration is still missing, right? Where are the security configuration and server properties saved? In my system database there are some tables, but there is very little content inside, so that the data from the views INFORMATION_SCHEMA* and sys.* obviously is not saved there.SQL Server system objects, such as sys.objects, are physically persisted in theResource database, but they logically appear in the sys schema of every database. URL....What does that mean: Are all DB/table schemes, logins, ... saved in resource DB?

3. Does a usual SQL Server full database backup also contain all settings concerning this database (database properties, logins, ...)?

4. Is there at least a way to backup ONLY the configuration (server-wide and database) without data? The only tool I could find is DACPAC, that exports a database's scheme and some other configuration, but e.g. the database properties  are not included: By default, the database created during the deployment will have the default settings from the CREATE DATABASE statement. The exception is that the database collation and compatibility level are set to the values from the source database. URL..

But when I am running the installation process on passive node to add node in the failover cluster I am stuck with very unique kind of issue.

I am following the Standard process of Installation and I am getting the same windows for each next process, but after License Agreement window when I get the Cluster Node Configuration window, then in "SQL Server Instance Name" drop down box I am not getting the Name of Instance which is already installed on the primary node. But this Instance complete information is appearing in below given box.

Only issue is Instance name is not appearing in the drop down list, that's why I am not able to select and when I click on next it trough error and do not proceed.

Help:SQLExpress User Instance Fails For Normal User; Works For Administrator

Jan 22, 2008

I'm using the RTM version of Visual Studion 2008 and SQLServer Express.

Logged in as an administrator, I can create a connection to an mdf file and all is well.

As a normal user, attempting to create a connection gives the message "sqlservr.exe has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

I have tried this with UAC turned on and turned off. The result is the same. In Services I can see that SQLEXPRESS is running, but each time I try to connect, I get the "stopped working" message.

For existing database programs that have the .mdf file stored in the project folder, I can run the program in the VS IDE on my XP machine and on my Vista machine as administrator, but not as a normal user.

I'm not looking for a workaround to make this work once, but the cause and solution to the problem. This is for an introductory VB textbook and we must be able to move a database program from one machine to another and make it work. Everything I have read says that SQLExpress should be able to do that.

Can anyone help me with this?

Can't Start SQLEXPRESS So That I Can't Install Latest SQLEXPRESS Security Updates.

Mar 13, 2007

I can't start SQLEXPRESS.

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?

How To Install Windows Application(C#) With SQLExpress In A System Which Is Having SQLExpress Already?

Jan 19, 2007

Hi All,

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.

Can anybody help me out .

Specify Protocol From T-Sql

Nov 15, 2004

Hi,

In a stored procedure I have, I need to make a call out to a DR server, I believe the named pipes protocol is causing errors for long running sql. Is there anyway I can change the call

exec svr_dr.msdb.go

to ensure that it uses the tcp protocol rather than named pipes?

Thanks,

Sqlexpress Installer Doesn't Believe Sqlexpress Has Been Uninstalled

Mar 21, 2006

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?

TCP/IP Network Protocol

Jan 7, 1999

Hi everyone,

I want to use TCP/IP network protocol on the server and have my clients using TCP/IP Net library. I have having some problems with this...The server will not register if I only have TCP/IP without Named Pipes using Standard Security in SQL Server. If I have TCP/IP and Named Pipes, the client can't register the server. Can someone explain in detail to me on using TCPIP on the server and client?

Thanks...

TCP/IP Becomes A Disabled Protocol ?

Mar 16, 2004

Has anyone ever seen TCP/IP become a disabled protocol without manual intervention from a user?

My websites just stopped talking to my MSSQL db and when I went into sql client config utility on the web boxes, tcp/ip was disabled. Any clues? Can't find anything to support this in the event or web logs.
