Unable To Connect To SQL Server Express Locally Or Remotely
Jun 22, 2007
I have read all of the posts regarding this subject as well as 3
"Dummies" guides and I keep having the same problems. I have a very
simple multi-user application that has to hit a database. We
cuerrently have this system deployed and it is working fine on a
domain based network. We are scaling back and the network we will be
using is now a workgroup not a domain.
It should be simple. I have XP boxes (clients) trying to hit the SQL
Server Express database on a Windows Server 2003 machine. It is a
closed network so security is not an issue. I am trying to make this
thing wide open. All I want is for the user to be logged in on his
client machine, run the application, and access/update the database
without having to re-authenticate to the SQL server. I want windows
to handle all of the authentication between the XP machines and the
Server 2003 machine.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Problem: I upgraded a SQL Server Express instance to SQL Server Enterprise, but I'm unable to connect to the SQL server from any remote machine. Only local connections work -- and I've verified that Remote Connections are allowed in the SQL Surface Confg. utility.
Scenario: Server1 has an SQL Enterprise edition installed as a default installation. SharePoint Server 2007 was installed later, and during that install a SQL Express edition instance was installed which is part of the standard SharePoint install. That Express instance contains all the SharePoint content databases.
So Server1 has SQL instances:
Server1 <default install running Enterprise>
Server1OFFICESERVER <previously running SQL Express, now upgraded to Enterprise>
After upgrading Server1OFFICESERVER to Enterprise, everything seemed to work fine (i.e. SharePoint works fine). However when I try to connect remotely to Server1OFFICESERVER I can't. I've verified through the SQL Surface configuration tool that remote connections are allowed. I've rebooted the server as well. I've tried connecting remotely using various PCs and various applications (e.g. SQL Server Mgmt Studio, Visual Studio, etc.).
Any other ideas to try?

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to a SQL Server 2005 express on my local Windows
XP Professional machine. I've searched the the MS fora and Google
but all the answers I find relate to trying to connect to a remote DB,
not local.
I run the aspnet_regsql.exe program in the interactive wizard mode, and
in the Select the Server and Database step when I click on the Database
drop-down list an error box pops up:
Connection failed
Failed to query a list of database names from the SQL 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 -
Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
Exactly the same error message appears when I:
* Change the 'Server' name from my computer's name to localhost, 127.0.0.1, or SQLEXPRESS. in the aspnet_regsql wizard.
* Stop my firewall (ZoneAlarm, native Windows firewall is disabled, and I switched off my cable modem at the time).
* Use the SQL Server surface area utility to enable remote connections
with both named pipes and TCP/IP), and also to enable CLR integration
in the Features section.
* Stop the SQL Server service. I did this to see if a different
error occurred, but it's as if aspnet_regsql.exe can't even see the SQL
Server.
* Have an additional instance of SQL Server running under my own username (see below).
I have an ASP.NET project (created by someone else on another computer) which attempts
to open a SQL Server database. It runs fine until the call to
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection::Open() which raises an exception
with exactly the same error string as above (including what's in
parentheses). The connection string is "Data
Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=blah;Integrated Security=SSPI;" where
blah is specific to the company I'm doing this for.
I've created a test ASP.NET project to which I added a SQL
Database. My only option was to create a .mdf file in the
APP_DATA folder. The connection string is "Data
Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;Integrated
Security=True;User Instance=True" and it works fine and displays the
data I've put into the database, but in the Task Manager another
instance of sqlservr.exe appears (running under my username; the
existing sqlservr.exe runs under the NETWORK SERVICE username).
Should this happen??
If I stop the SQL Server service (or both of them), an error message in my web browser
appears (no exception is raised because there's no code in the project,
just a data-bound control). The error is the same as above,
except the parenthetical part is "(provider: SQL Network Interfaces,
error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)".
Edit: oh yeah, I've also tried to set up an ODBC data source connected
to SQL Server throught the Control Panel/Admin, but the ODBC applet
can't seem to see SQL Server either. I only get three options for
data sources: dBASE files (.dbf), Excel files (.xls), and MS Access
Database (.mdb). If I click on 'Add' and select "SQL Server" and
go on from there, it comes back and says the server doesn't exist or
refuses access. If I stop the service, the ODBC applet says the
sql server wasn't found.
Can anyone help please?
I'm stumped..

I am trying to do the Chapter 1 project of Getting Started with ADO.net 2.0 Step by Step (microsoft press)...
I enter the data source configuration wizard and select database, and press next.
I then press the new connection button, and the Choose data source screen appears.
In the List are only 2 options:
Microsoft Access Database File
Microsoft SQL Server Database File.
The option they want me to choose does not appear in the list.
Microsoft SQL Server sqlclient
I tried following the instructions in this thread [http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=85686&siteid=1] where a user had a similar problem, but had no success.
I have reinstalled C#, reinstalled SQL Server Express 2005 with Advanced Tools, but neither helped.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Hello,
I'm using a Windows XP Home laptop to connect to a network of one of my customers. The administrator of the customer has given me a username and password for a VPN connection. I've got the VPN connection working and I can ping the SQL Express server.
This server is using Windows Authentication. For the users of my VB application we have added a group to the Active Directory and added this group as a user to the SQL Express Server. This works and the users can access the database from within the application. The SQL Express Server allows remote connections and the browser service is also running.
I would like to use the SQL management Studio Express on my laptop to access the remote SQL Express server and manage the database files. To do this I first connect to the remote LAN using VPN and add the address of the SQL EXpress server in the field 'Server name' of the 'Connect to server' screen. The authentication field is set to Windows Authentication. However the username is greyed out and states the login for the SQL Express server on my laptop: laptopusername. How can I correct this?
I don't know whether the username of the VPN connection is in the Active Directory. Should this be the case and should this user also be added to the login/user of the SQL Express server? And how do I get the Management Studio to connect to the remote server? Could XP Home be the bottleneck as it cannot logon to a domain?
Anyone any ideas?

im using sql server 2005 express for my vb.net projects but i can't connect to it using SQL Server Management Studio Express or through my vb.net code. I got a error message: An error has occourred while estabishing 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. I already enabled remote connections as suggested by this site http://www.programmingado.net/a-395/SQL-Server-2005-Express-and-remote-connection.aspx. Made sure that SQL Server and SQL Browser services are running. But I still cant connect.

I have both the develper and sql express installed on my laptop computer. I also have Sql Express installed on my desktop computer( Did have develper installed but removed thinking the problem was in the install). I can connect via Management console from my Desktop to laptop with out any problems. I see databases etc. I can not connect from my laptop to desktop. I get a login error. From what I can tell, the servers are configed the same on both machines. I checked Firewall settings on both machines, even turned them both off with no results. Every time I try to connect from laptop I get Log in error, and I get "Failure Audit" eror under component services.

I've just bought a Virtual Private Server Account because I want to host a number of different ASP.NET sites, each backed by their own SQL database. I've downloaded SQLEXPRE.EXE and SQLServer2005_SSMEE-x64.msi to the server and installed the database engine and Management Studio Express on the VPS.
My problem is that I cannot access the SQLEXPRESS on my server from my local machine. The Management Studio Express cannot get logged in. I've used "Surface Area Configuration Manager" to allow "Local and remote connections" using TCP/IP only. I've used SQL Server Configuration Manager" to enable the TCP/IP protocol. After making these changes I've stopped and started the SQL server - and even rebooted the machine. I've created a login "Remote User" for this access. I've added sqlservr.exe as an exception to the firewall.
What else do I need to do? Is there a simpleton's guide to completing this task?

Hi all, I'm having a little trouble connecting to a SQLExpress instance on a remote domain using SQL Server Management Studio Express.I've read that by default the program is set up locally only, so have edited the Surface Area Configuration. It only gives me the option to edit 'Services and Connections' on the localhost, but have edited the Remote Connections to use TCP/IP and Named Pipes. In the Management Studio, I enter the server name, and login credentials. On the Connection Properties tab I changed the network protocol to TCP/IP though everytime I attempt to connect I get the following error message: Any help would be greatly appreciated. Rich

I can access the report server remotely. However, when I try to access via browser locally, no luck. I get access denied.
Some kind of browser diff maybe?
I noticed that on the browsers/machines that work, I have the option of putting the domain in seperately. The browser that doesnt work (on the same machine as the db server and web site) puts the domain in front of the username for me.
Any ideas?

I had asked a question last week and I realized that I had phrased it in a misleading way. Within a lab environment at my company, we are experimenting w/ accessing remote SQL data files stored separately on another machine from the SQL server itself (whether it be another client or server).
The experiment is this: You have one client machine accessing a SQL server via Enterprise Manager. The datafiles that you are trying to access are stored on another machine that does not have SQL Server installed. This remote machine only has the datafiles.
Can one map a static path via UNC from the SQL server to the datafiles on the remote machine and then access these datafiles (as long as the user's account has the appropriate permissions to the remote machine)? To my understanding, within SQL server you can only access datafiles that are stored locally on the SQL server itself.
The other thing that I was wondering was if the type of user account had some significance in this situation. More than likely, a local user account would not be able to access the remote machine w/ the datafiles even if the SQL server could map an UNC path and retain it. A domainuser account might be able to do this though.
Any help that you could provide would be appreciated.

I hope helps some folks. I hope the links come through okay.
Keywords: Help, Network, KB910437, SQL Express, Network, TCP/IP, User,
SQL Server Express Networking
After a long period of trial and error I finally figured out how to connect to SQL Server Express 2005 using SQL Authentication across an XP network. It required several rather involved several steps to do this. I wrote this document just in case I forgot what I did so that I could repair or re-create my network login(s).
I will try to summarize the steps and include some HELP links to the web pages or my local €œSQL Books On Line€? pages that pointed me in the correct directions. The final piece to my puzzle was found here on the MSDN forums. Some links are better than others, while others may appear not to apply, so always check for links at the bottom of pages. Some were the best I could find after the fact, and not my original pages. Others were actually better, and may seem to be redundant. It€™s a work in progress.
I left out many routine or obvious steps like telling you when to click OK. If you need to be told when, you have no business even considering trying this. Good Luck!
PREREQUISITES:
1. You must have an instance of SQL Express installed and running.
2. You must have the SQL Browser service running.
3. You must have SQL Management Studio Express, SMSE, installed on your Server and to be able to log in as an administrator using Windows Authentification. Be familiar with Object Explorer under SMSE.
4. You must have SQL Server Surface Area Configuration properly installed.
5. You must have a functioning LAN, such as a Windows Workgroup.
6. You need a second computer on your LAN running SMSE Tools for testing.
7. You need a strong knowledge of how to use Control Panel.
8. You need to have KB910437 properly installed despite what this might say, although a neat diagnostic command is documented to verify your install.
SUMMARY:
You must enable SQL Networking
You must configure SQL TCP/IP for the server instance.
You must configure the server instance to use UDP Port 1433.
You must enable a UDP port in your Windows Firewall for that server instance.
Test the ability to remote log in using Windows Authentification using SMSE.
You must create a Windows User account for SQL.
You must create a SQL User login Auditing for that Windows User account.
You must grant Permissions to do things for that SQL login.
Now you can try to Log In across a network.
DETAILS:
SQL Networking must be setup by using the SQL Configuration Manager, SCM.
The default installation leaves networking disabled.
Select and use the TCP/IP protocol.
Re-Start the SQL Server service.
Using the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration Manager you must enable TCP/IP.
Select €œServices and Connections€?.
Choose your server instance and then select €œRemote Connections€?.
Choose €œLocal and Remote€?, then €œUsing TCP/IP Only€?.
Re-Start the SQL Server service.
The server needs a means to talk to the outside world. Use SCM.
Setup your IP address by right clicking on the TCP/IP protocol
Choose €œProperties€?.
On the €œProtocol€? tab leave the default settings, (Yes, 30000, Yes, No).
Select the €œIP Address€? tab.
Configure €œIP1€?, (Yes, Yes, enter your IP address, 0, blank).
Configure €œIP All. Leave the default alone.
Enter €œ1433€? on the second line.
Re-Start the SQL Server service.
The server needs to unlock the door to the outside world.
Open Control Panel and select Windows Firewall.
Click the €œExceptions€? tab and click on €œAdd Port€¦€?.
For €œName€?, enter the name of the server instance.
For €œPort Number€?, the same port as Step 3, 1433.
Test to see if Windows log in works before enabling SQL Authentification.
Using the SMSE, select the €œConnect€? icon in Object Explorer.
Accept all defaults and see if it works.
The server needs Windows user accounts setup.
Set up a generic user account for SQL remote users.
I suggest setting up an account for administrators to use.
I suggest setting up an account for general users to use.
SQL needs to add Windows users to SQL Logins.
Convert a windows user login to a SQL login manually or automatically.
The user needs to be assigned tasks that he is permitted to perform.
Grant the user limited access, or just enough.
Assign generic logins to groups, and then assign permissions to the groups.
Use the pre-defined groups. By assigning users to groups.
Test to see if SQL Authentification works locally, then remotely.
Using the SMSE, select the €œConnect€? icon in Object Explorer.

Hi!
I'm trying to connect a DB in SQL express with a program in VB.NET Express. I'm using the Data Source Configuration Wizzard. When I select the file (.mdf), the following message appears:
Unable to open the physical file "path to my file". Operating system error 5: "5(error not found)".
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file 'myFile' failed. A database with the same name exists, or secified file cannot be opened, or it is located in UNC share.
I'm using the Windows authentication for this, but if I try with the sa user, I get the following message:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server. Only an integrated connection can generate a user instance. The connection will be closed.
Any ideas to solve this?
Thanks

Hi,
I installed Sqlexpress server 2005 and am able to connect to the server using the sqlexpress manager.
The connection parameters are:
server: 127.0.0.1 (This is an alias name pointing to TMD03SQLEXPRESS)
username:sa
password:test
mode: sql server and windows authentication mode
TCP/IP : enabled and listening on port number 1433.
But I am not able to connect to the server using PHP's mssql_connect function.
I tried various combinations like
mssql_connect("127.0.0.1","sa","test")
mssql_connect("local","sa","test")
mssql_connect("localhost","sa","test")
mssql_connect("TMD03SQLEXPRESS","sa","test")
mssql_connect("127.0.0.1,1433","sa","test")
but none of them works. I also tried OSQL and SQLCMD and they don't work either. They give me the following error message.
[SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL
Server [2].
[SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired
[SQL Native Client]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.
Can anyone please let me know what am doing wrong here?

My situation: I have one virtual folder on a customer's server that hosts a web service which connects to Sql Server Express. This has been working for months.
The connection string that i use is:
(obviously the names have been changed to protect the innocent)
User ID=auser;Password=apassword;Initial Catalog=acatalog;Data Source=0.0.0.0SQLEXPRESS
I have recently added another virtual folder to the server, and it needs to connect to the same sql server. In this case it is a "regular" web site. I have it set up to use the same connection string as the web services site ( I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be the same), however when I try to open the connection ( when I call mySqlConnection.Open(); ), I get get this error:
"SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified"
I am stumped as to why code in one virtual folder has no problem, while the other does. Both virtual and physical folders are on the same machine, and the Sql Server Express is installed on that machine.
The server is a MS Windows Server 2003 machine.
More details as requested.
Thanks,
Kirk

Getting error 1326.
I'm running SQL Express on Server 2003 SP1 (workstation - although, I did dcpromo promote and demote prior to installing SQL Express).
I'm trying to connect from SQL Studio Express on Vista.
TCP and Named Pipes are selected in Surface Area Config; sp_config remote, access..., 1 was run (per KB); ports 1433 & 1434 are open (I think 435 also was opened when I ran the KB instructions); Mixed mode is selected, user is set for SQL Auth, password is correct; all permissions are granted.
I found an article online which stated that mixed versions of MDAC can lead to the problem. The server has 2.82.1830 and the client has 6.0.5600.16834. Could this be the problem? If so, how to solve?
Thanks, John

I am having trouble to use SSMSE to remotely connect SQL Express server using IPs other than the base IP of the machine.
Machine settings:
(1) Has multiple IP configured. Those IP are accessible remotely
(2) Firewall is not on.
SQL Express server configuration:
(1) TCP/IP and named pipe are on
Browser service state:
(1) running
(2) listening at 0.0.0.0:1434 (UDP)
SSMSE connection results:
(1) with <baseIP><instance>, connects OK
(2) with <otherIP><instance>, connection failed.
Both connections use exactly the same authentication information.
Testing results using telnet:
(1) telnet <baseIP> 1434, OK
(2) telnet <otherIP> 1434, OK
Does SSMSE actually only listen on the base IP even it shows to listen on all the IPs?

I am getting the error:
HTTP Error 401.1 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
Internet Information Services (IIS)
when I attempt to connect to Reports or ReportServer from my desktop, but it works normally when I login with the same userid and run it directly on the server, using IE. It is prompting me for a login 2 or 3 times before failing.
My configuration is:
Report Server system:
Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 - 32bit
SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Enterprise Edition
Windows & Web Service run as a domain account
Database connection is using domain account - not in db_owner, but in RSExec roles
Database is on another server, and is Native, not SharePoint integrated
Reports & ReportServer are in a separate application pool
Reporting Services had SP2 installed before it was configured
The Rport Server is a VM
Database server
Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 - x64
SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition 64bit
Version 9.00.3200.00
The Report Manager was not working at all, and I discovered that there was no entry in the .Net Framework version on the APS.Net tab in properties for the Reports virtual directory. I am not seeing any errors or anything unusual in the Event log or in the ReportServer log files.
FrontPage 2002 extensions were installed, and then removed. I noticed that this installed a SharePoint virtual directory, and that disappeared when I removed FrontPage extensions.
The domain group my userid is in is in the local Administrators group on the ReportServer system, and I have added this group as a System Administrator and Content Manager through the report Manager.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Bill

I just reinstalled SQL Server and after reattaching my databases, I can't connect remotely. If I use "localhost" in my connection string it works fine, but I can't register my remote Enterprise Manager this way.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to connect to my instance of SQL server 2000 remotely. I know how to do this with SQL server 2005. but since i do not have SQL server 2000 installed on my local machine.. (xp box) I would love to know how i can connect to my remote server?
Is this at all possible without SQL Server 2000 installed ? i have tried to download the personal edition / developer but I couldnt find it
If anyone knows where i can find the developer edition or if there is a trick to get SQL server 2005 to work with my SQL 2000 server it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Cannot someone please help me with following problem. I am trying to create a program to update a sql datbase from.NET 2003. I am doing this by using SQL Server Express 5. The problem is, is that when I run the program and click the button to view the table in SQL Express 5 I keep getting an 'System.NullReferenceException' and the table is not shown. When I look at the debug details it says that 'object reference not set to an instance of an object'.
Am not sure where am goin wrong as the connection is opened to the local server in SQL Express and I have created a connection object and initialised it to the address fo the datatable in SQL.
Please find below the code I am working on which shows the connection string in question and the table being called in button 6 which causes the exception.
Any help would be greatly appreciated....thanks

I am unable to connect to express edition by specifying 'TCP/IP' in the Network Protocol option of 'Connection Properties' in managment studio. It gives the following error.

Hello
I am able to connect to the server and most of the time I can't connect.
It is important to be able to connect so I can manage my mdf - database.
To test ... I disable the firework but I still can't connect 90% of the time.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I have VS Pro 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005 installed on an XP Pro machine. When using VS 2005, in the 'Server Explorer' window I can see and attach to two SQL Server databases that I have set-up. But if I attempt to access the same databases from withn the 'Solution Explorer' window I get the following dialog box message,
"
Required Component Missing (Dialog box heading)
Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251
"
I have uninstalled and then reinstalled both VS 2005 and SQL Server Express twice but it has helped.
I don't understand why I'm getting this error because all of the server configuration tools and connection utilities seem to work fine but VS say's that SQL Server Express is not installed.
Thanks,
CLN
P.S.
I had another application that required MSDE 2000A to be installed. When I removed the other application I also removed MSDE 2000A and that's when the problem began.
