However, the return data just contains nulls, instead of the original decrypted data. You can see above that I deleted the certificate, but then restored the certificate from backup. However, it doesn't work.
I'm having trouble with restoring the master db on w2k3 sql2000 sp3a to a Secondary Standby server. Firstly, I place the server in Single user mode and then restore the master db. The sql server then tries to restart sql services but immediately stops as soon as it starts up.
I upgraded my 6.5 server to 7.0 two days ago running into small problems with the database upgrade wizard. I had some small problems with security which took me some time but was not that difficult once I figured it out. I then proceeded to switch back to 6.5 mode to transfer all the data that had been done that day to my development machine so I could then import it to the SQL 7.0 version. When I was done with the transfer I switched back successfully, started the server successfully, but I was unable to connect. I get the error "Connection could not be established...", so after several attempts to connect and shuting the server down I now am at a loss. The server runs fine in 6.5 mode but it will not connect in 7.0?? Tonight I am going to try to reinstall SP1, if that does not work I am going to try to reinstall SQL 7.0. Any suggestions???
On a fresh installation of SQL Server 6.5, I have opened the EM and registered the server but am unable to connect. I get the error of 'A connection could not be established to [ServerName]- [DB-Library] Unable to connect: SQL Server is unavailable or does not exist. General Network Error. Check your documentation.'
I've tried connecting with all different DB-Lib settings to no avail. Ultimately, I want to use TCP/IP. I am, however, able to connect to other SQL Server boxes from this EM, just not the local server. I am able to stop and start the services from Control Panel and from SQL Service Manager.
Since I haven't been able to log into the local SQL Server, I've registered the server in EM to log in with sa and a blank password. I've already completely uninstalled SQL and reinstalled it to see if that would help. It didn't.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
I am running SQL 2000 on Windows 2000 Server. The clients are running different OS ranging from Win 98/NT/2000. Although i am able to connect to the local host, but whenever i try to connect over the network the following error pops up :
unable to connect to server <server name> Server : Msg 11, Level 16, State 1 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Socket]General network error. Check your network documentation.
I checked up the event long on the server and found the following entry:
Event Type: Warning Event Source: MSSQL$NETSDK Event Category: (8) Event ID: 19011 Date: 1/20/2003 Time: 2:12:32 PM User: N/A Computer: <computer name> Description: The description for Event ID ( 19011 ) in Source ( MSSQL$NETSDK ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: (SpnRegister) : Error 1355.
May i further clarify that this error started today n till last week end (saturday, i am
stationed in India) there was no problem and the users were able to connect to the server
without any problem. My network engineer feels that its an sql problem and has nothing to do with network related issues.
i would appreciate if anybody could help me out. thanking in advance
recently i made my PC dual boot by installing windows 2000 advanced server. It already had win2000 profesional installed on it. since then i have been unable to connect to sql server running on some other server(called CONTROLS) on the LAN. I am able to access the CONTROLS server thru 'my networkplaces' and able to see all its hsared directories and access htem. but when i open Enterprise manager i cannot connect to CONTROLS. Please help me . i have already wasted 2 days over it.
I am unable to connect to SQL Server using isql_w or enterprise manager. The ODBC settings register successfull and the services show as started. I have tried starting SQL server in single-user mode with minimum config to see if memory is a problem but still cannot connect. The error logs show SQL as having started successfully with no errors. Has anyone got any ideas?
From my Win98SE box with MDAC 2.6sp1, I can't connect to SQL (win2k, sql2k). I've tried everything I know but nothing works.
I always get the following error: Unable to connect to server 192.168.1.2 ODBC: Msg 0, Level 16, State 1 [Microsoft][ODBC Sql Server Driver] Timeout Expired
some additional info... - both computers are in a workgroup, not in a domain. - this is a home network and they're connected via a Linksys cable modem router - another box on this same lan can connect to sql just fine, although it's running win2k. - all boxes have identical DSN, Subnet...settings - I also installed Jet4.0sp1 just in case, but that didn't help either - I'm primarily trying to connect via TCP, although I have tried Named Pipes as well - i can ping both boxes from each other just fine - odbc ping fails
MDAC has worked beautifully for me for the last several years. Did MS change something recently...or is there another problem?
Hello. I am very new to SQL Server. I've tried to look through other posts on the forum but did not find the solution I needed. Please help.
I have SQL Server running on Machine1 which I am able to connect to. What I want to do is connect to this server through a Machine2 that is on my network.
Both Machines run on WindowXP Professional
On the server of Machine1, I have: 1. Under the security tab, I have created a New Login using SQL Server Authentication (general tab), checked all server roles (server roles tab) and checked to permit all databases (in the database access tab) 2. On the server, went to properties -> security tab and allowed for SQL Server and Windows authentication
On Machine2 when I try to register the server of Machine1 through the Register SQL Server Wizard, I am able to see the server. However, when I use the newly created Login Name and password (from step 1 of above). I get a Login Failed for user message. When I try to connect to the server through Query Analyzer I also get an unable to connect to server message (Server: Msg 18456, Level 16, State1)
If you place an image of your server on a rebuilt server, rename it andchange the SID. You get an error message “UNABLE TO CONNECT” when youuse the SQL Query analyzer on a desktop computer to connect to theserver (hosting the image). If you add the server (hosting the image)to the Windows2000 server domain/active server and restart the server(hosting the image), you get the following error message: "YOUR SQLSERVER INSTALLATION IS EITHER CORRUPT OR HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH (UNKNOWNPACKAGE ID). PLEASE RERUN SETUP."Wouldn't you think changing the name, the sid and adding it to a domainwould be enough to access it. I even created a new ODBC connection.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

There is a SQL instance (sql2005) and I am trying to add a new distribution. Replication wazard says:
SQL Server is unable to connect to server 'SERVER1'. (New Publication Wizard)SQL Server is unable to connect to server 'SERVER1'. (New Publication Wizard)
SQL Server replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through a server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, 'SERVER1'. (Replication.Utilities)
There is the only local instance of the server on local computer and 'SERVER1' is actual name.
hi, im making a log in using the asp.net web site admin tool the probably is when click n the security tab it says it cannt connect to the aspnetsqlprovider. thanksdomal
The error occurs when I try to configure SQL server express. Please help. An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server. When connectiong 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)

Hi, I am working through "Sams Teach Yourself ASP Dot NET 2.0 in 24 Hours" I am upto hour 20 where it says Configuring an ASP.NET Website to Support Membership To configure our website to support membership, we must launch the ASP.NET Website Administration Tool. To accomplish this, either click the ASP.NET Configuration icon at the top of the Solution Explorer or click the Website menu's ASP.NET Configuration option. Either way will open a web browser pointed to a page through which the ASP.NET site can be configured. Figure 20.1 shows the ASP.NET Website Administration Tool. To add user account support, click the Security link. This will take you to the Security screen shown in Figure 20.2. From this screen, you can specify the user accounts in your system, what roles for users exist, and the access rules for users. However when I click security I get the following error message; "There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store." "The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Unable to connect to SQL Server database." If I test the provider I get this error; "Provider Management""Could not establish a connection to the database.""If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider." I am using MS VWD Express with MS SQL Express. I have run the 'aspnet_regsql' tool on my database which the book fails to mention and verified that the tables were created correctly. I have tried copying the MDF file directly into my 'app_data' directory but this made no difference. I have googled these errors and nothing seems to help. I can connect to the database through a 'SqlDataSource' and have had no trouble with the database in the previous sections of the book. I think it may have something to do with how I setup SQL Express or database permissions, I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I've been using the tutorial located here.I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 8.0.50727.42, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727 SP1.The tutorial uses the SQL Express version and I cannot get it to connect to the standard SQL Server 2005 version. I have used the website ConnectionStrings.com and the whitepaper located here and I wasn't able to get my web app talking to the database through many attempts.I am using a database in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 named SecurityTutorials. This is located on my local machine. There is a login named SecurityTutorials and a user in the SecurityTutorials database named SecurityTutorials who has default schema dbo, who owns the db_owner schema, and has role membership to db_datareader, db_datawriter, and db_ddladmin. The password of this user does match the password in the connection string in web.config, I have verified this multiple times.The problem comes when I open up the CreatingUserAccounts page of this tutorial. When I hit the button 'Create the User Account,' nothing happens. And no record is inserted into the database.Here is my web.config file (if you need any other files then please let me know and I can post them but it is my understanding that this is the only file responsible for the database connection):<?xml version="1.0"?><!-- Note: As an alternative to hand editing this file you can use the web admin tool to configure settings for your application.

I am currently trying to connect to a SQL Server instance with my host provider. I am having issues trying to connect to it.
I am using a Linkysys router and I have opened up the ports that SQL Server needs but I am getting an error - "SQL Server does not exist or Access denied". I've contacted the support but they are telling me it is an error on my end.
I'd be really grateful for some help.I have successfully installed the SQL server on my xp home edition machine but everytime I try to connect through the Data Matrix i get the message 'unable to connect to database sever. Log in failed for user sa.' I am entering 'local host' for server 'sa' for user and my password but I cannot connect.I saw Harish Rangathans article about this where he suggested going to the Enterprise manager and then the properties box to fix the problem but my version of the server only has a server manager and no properties box to enter to fix the problem.Is there anyone out there with any ideas about how to fix this problem.
My VS 2005 website project was connecting to a remote SQL Server. But after I move the database to the second SQL Server, I got the following error message from running my website project:
Named Pipes Provider: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
I do everything same like what I did in the first SQL server:
Using “SQL Server and Windows� authentication and “System account�; Create a domain account IIS_WPG; Grant this IIS_WPG as db_owner for the database; In web.config, add the name and password to the end of connectionstring; Make sure the SQL Server has “Named Pipes� and “TCP/IP� protocols.
I have no idea what I can do else, anybody has suggestions?
