Is there a way (TSQL, External tool) to turn on remote
access to SQL Server 2005 Express automatically? I do not wish to
use Sql Server Surface Area Configuration to accomplish this.
Could this be done via C#, TSQL, or some external tool that could
be launched from the command line?
Dear group,I have to replicate remote data to a SQL Server in the headquarter.The data are on a site which does not have permanent online-connectionto the headquarter.I have written a script which replicates the data and i want to set upa process / batch on the headquarter-machine which roughly does thefollowing1) Connect to the remote site2) start replication script (in fact a stored procedure)3) on success disconnect from the remote siteAll this has to run automatically e.g. during nighttime.Could someone please outline how i set up the connection and keep itup during my database-action and how to automatically disconnect aftersuccess of my replication script.I'd be jolly grateful.Thanks in advance and Greetings from ViennaUli
- When I disable "allow remote connections to this server" from server properties>connection page, I can still remotely connect to the server from SSMS...so what is the impact of enable/disabling it?
- what is the impact of changing the remote query timeout (on the same page) from default value?
@RemoteQuery consists of a SELECT four-table join, all tables are on the same linked server.
The Linked server has been set up on MyLocalServer using the "Microsoft OLE DB for SQL Server" provider. In the "Provider Options" for the linked server properties I checked "Non transacted updates" and "dynamic parameters". In the "Server Options" tab I have checked "RPC", "RPC Out", "Data Access".
The EXECUTE part of the query runs great (and returns the data very fast) by itself. But with the INSERT part, the query fails and returns the error:
"Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Line 17 The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction. [OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator. ] OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a]."
The two servers are seperated by firewalls, so I believe the reason the query is failing is that I haven't followed the procedures for setting up the ports etc described in one of the microsoft support articles: e.g.: 250367.
Configuring the ports involves too much company politics, and besides, for what this query does, it does not need the benefits of a distributed transaction.
How can I execute my query without SQL Server automatically trying to upgrade it to a distributed transaction?
More Info: I can execute the query as a straight INSERT/SELECT linked-server query and it does the INSERT on the local SQL Server just like I want it to, so I assume it is not trying to use distributed transactions; but it takes around 7 seconds to run even though the entire SELECT is executed on the linked server, whereas executing with sp_executesql takes only 1 second.
I thought selected "non-transacted updates" in the provider would solve this problem, but it did not.
Hi I have a web application and SQL database on separate SQL 2000 server. I have no admin rights to these servers.The ISP gave me a VPN connection and password to manager my database.If i run the application from my home computer WITH the VPN connected the application works fine.However if i disconnect the VPN or try to run the application from the remote server i get this error:SQL Server does not exist or access deniedI have researched this problem extensively and CANNOT find a solution. The application and SQL 2000 database server are on different computers. The SQL user id and password are different from the VPN connection's.My web config looks like this:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <configuration> <appSettings> <add key="mappedname" value="username"/> <add key="mappedkey" value="password"/> </appSettings> <system.web> <globalization fileEncoding="utf-8" requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" /> </system.web> </configuration> And the application connection string is as follows:Dim usersql As String = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("mappedname") Dim passsql As String = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("mappedkey") connectionString = "data source=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;initial catalog=databasename;" connectionString &= ";user id=" & usersql connectionString &= ";password=" & passsql I am obviously missing something. Not sure what or how to pass the permissions on properly.Can some kind soul please help me with this problemThank YouJeff
How can I access Sql server via a remote access tools. I want to be able to use somekind of software to be able to work on a server as if I am physically there. I would appreicate your input about this issue.
Hi all, I encounter a problem of unable to access Remote Server after i placed my web application into the web server. 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.) So I googled and tried lot of different ways of connecting.By piped name, IP, trying instance which that server don't even have one :X.I also tried typing in cmd > telnet localhost 1433It appeared that the telnet fail, i tried it on other machine, it works. So is it cause by denied of access through that port?I checked at the sql client network, it show 1433, i check the server too, it show 1433.I also checked if there's any firewall, it appear there is no firewall at all.The sql server i trying to connect is SQL 2000, it run by Windows Server 2003 Any advise or more information you needed to help me solve this problem?Thanks

I'm using SQL Server to store session state. The Sql Server is on the local network but not on the web server. I use impersonation and use account credentials for the ASPNET worker process:
I've checked and given the user i'm impersonating the ability to do everything. I've granted access on all necessary files, added them to the DB and made the user a db_owner of the ASPState table. I can log in to a machine as the user, then access sql server using the windows authentication. I granted 'act as part of the operating system', 'access this computer from a network', 'log on as a service', 'log on as a batch job' on both the remote computer hosting sql server and the web server.
The strange thing is i installed the asp session state tables on my development machine, using the same configuration file to run everything, and was able to add an object to session state without any problem. But when i specify the remote server, i'm denied.
i use that to connect to the remote SQL server, which has status of port 1433 at "Stealth"... do i need to open the port complete, if yes how i do that ?
I want to access the other server from my Enterprise Manager by using <server_name>.<db_name>.<tab_name>.<procedure>/table_name.
Pls. let me know the steps I have to take I have added two remote logins in both the server. I also gave trusted right by using sp_remoteoption procedure and still I get the message 'the object <server_name> not accessible>
Please reply at the earliest, as I am right noe accessing the other servers data by bcp-out and bcpin into this server.............
I am trying to access SQL server remotely (over the internet). I would like to use query analyser as my front end tool. Can anyone point out the procedure to do the same. I have the IP address and the host string.
I have problem with my SQL server. When I want to connect from localhost, its OK. But, when i want to connect it from other computer, i will recive this message: Timeout expire. If I try connect in enterprise manager of client, i will receive SQL Server does not exist or access denied. I have selected Mixed mode and I am not using firewall.
I have an MS SQL Server 2000 database running on a local area network. The database contains product info that I would like to use to populate a web catelog being hosted off site.
Can someone point me in the right direct regarding common practices for using this product database, which is updated on a regular basis, to update my Web catelog?
I was thinking periodically the Web server could remotely query my product database for new entries (this does not need to be real time).
My ISP provide MS SQL Server. I can create my database name, dbusername and dbpassword through control panel and then I can access the database in ASP using this connection string "Provider=SQLOLEDB;UID=dbusername; PWD=dbpasword".
Before, I could also use my enterprise manager to create a new sql server registration using my web url, dbusername and dbpassword. But now it seems that my ISP blocks the port or something and ask me do everything through the control panel.
Does anyone have some idea to connect to a remote server thorough enterprise manager based on the infromation I have?
I am having issues with MSAccess and MS SQL for a new client. It worked in the past, but I cannot talk to the old computer guy?!# Here's the scoop. It uses an Access front end and ODBC to conect to the MS SQL 7.0 server. In the office they use a system DSN named DATA to connect using NT authentication. I've got the firewall configured for the two employees static ip addresses to goto the MS SQL server. On the remote machines, I have added a system DNS named DATA as well that uses MS SQL authentication. I setup the remote user accounts on the MS SQL server. Now heres the problem. I can test the ODBC from the remote omputer and it works.At first I could not get into teh database at all. I went in and updated the Access file connection strings to include a username and password. Now I can get into the Access front end and access the main page. (IT has a couple of buttons - Shpping, Inventory, Management, etc.) I can even click on these buttons and pull up the next page. (For example I can click on the management button and pull up a list of new buttons- one of which is Auto Exec Bob) NOw when I click autoexec bob or any of the others it takes a while and then give me an error. (SQLState 28000 MS SQL error: 18452 Login failed for user null. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server Connection.) If I click ok then I have a box that lets me uncheck the use trusted connection and sign in using my remote username and pass that I setup. Eventually I can access everything - one step at a time.Each time it tries to connect to the database it takes about thirty seconds to time out, then gives me this error message and I can log on again. Any help to sort this out would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Exec sp_configure remote access running values is "1" by default. If set the value "0", what will be impact on both server and client side?
1. Client side: remote access option value is "1", it mean to allows executing stored procedure in remote client side by using SSMS. server itself does working all SP which was passed by through application(remote application server even SQL port enabled between application DB and App servers).
Impact: value is "0" developer does not able execute SP their Client SSMS side after connecting established in DB server.
2. Server side Impact: Does it working Linked server if value is "0?
Does anyone know of a good place to find instructions on how to set up remote access to my SQL Server. I have been unsuccessful finding anything on this topic.
I installed sql 2005 (server) in two Win-Xp machines and tried to access each other, it was working fine, after that I tried to mirror the data base (I already installed SP2 in both machine) then I am getting an error saying, "A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occured during the preloging handshake.(provider SSL,error:0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.)(microsoft SQl Server)" After that I could not connect the the sql remot. If any body knows the slution pls reply me.
I upgraded from msde to sql server express. Everything seems to work just fine. I can odbc to the database servver and can view website from local server but cannot access website from remote server. It gives me Cannot find server error.
Hi.I would like to access my database outside of my company. I read manydocuments but they are all pertaining to accessing the database viaASP or some form of web application. Is there no single windows orlinux application tht runs natively to access a remote SQL data base?Any advise is appreciated. Thanks!!
I have a remote SQLExpress instance running. I can connect to its databases with the SQL Server Management Studio Express and Visualstudio (Datasources) on a remote system and on a local system.
But as soon as I try to run or debug a vb application a system security error apears.

I'm writing a piece of software that is designed to access data from SQL server. The office's server has SQL server version 7 installed. The software works perfectly when running on a computer on the network in the office. I however am trying to work out how to use use the software from my home computer and connect to the SQL server database remotely. I've never done this before and I'm finding it hard to find the right information.
Firstly, is it easy to do this? What do I need to do with the server in the office to allow this to work? Do I need any extra hardware/software? How will my software connect to SQL server? Is it as simple as changing the connection string to something like the server's ip address and sql server name?
I'm writing the software in Visual Studio 2005 professional and programming in VB.
I have written a VB program using an SQLExpress database on my machine, and I want other users to remotely access it. From what I have read, all I have to do for the Client machines is load on SQL Native Client and install the EXE. I have also enabled TCI/IP etc and setup the exceptions on my firewall. My connectionstring is
When I run the EXE on the client machine, I get the following error...
Cannot open database <mydata> requested by the login. The login failed.
I am totally new to SQL and would appreciate any help in getting this setup. Do I need to put my login details into the connection string so other PCs can log into my database..?
ACCESS was never this hard to deploy, but I really want to learn SQL.
I'm creating an app that will connect to a central sql server 2005 (hosted on a Win2003 server with Windows Firewall on). I added sqlservr.exe and sqlbrowser.exe to the firewall exceptions to allow for remote connections. Now, an admin I know is telling me that this is not secure and we must configure those 2 exe's to only be accessed by certain IP addresses. I want to make sure the database is very secure, but this sounds like overkill. ??
Questions: Is this necessary (to limit access to these 2 exe's to certain IP addresses)? How would I be able to distribute my application to different users if this is so? How can I make sure that the SQL Server won't get "attacked" or "hacked"?
I am trying to read the databases attached to the Sql Server 2005.... my code works fine for Sql Server 2000 but when i try it with Sql Server 2005 it gives me error that "Under Current Settings SQL Server 2005 does not allow remote connections".
Can anybody tell me where to change these settings... i tried my best to find it but :(....
