before this, i used sql 2005 express to create .sql file to learn sql and it's perfectly fine since the connect to server prompt offers me a default server to connect to but when i use sql server 2005 there is no server for me to connect to. My question is how to create a server to connect to.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to install SQL Server 2005 using command prompt. I have gotten the latest download. My question is what is the commad prompt for the tag ADDLOCAL for SQL Server Management Studio Express. For SQL Server datatbase it is called SQL_Engine. In the same way what should I be using for "SQL Server Management Studio Express". I want to limit the choices that are installed on the user machines.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mahesh
Can I connect to remote SQL 2005 server through SQL Server Management Studio Express? I always get a error code 18456 when I try to connect to SQL 2005 server through SQL Server Management Studio Express. I'm sure I enter correct username and password!
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
I just installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise edition from my company's DVD. It was installed with the setting of using both Integrated windows authenitication as well as basic named authenication. I installed all the options too: Database Engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services, SQL Server compact edition, and Integration Services. When I look at services there are: SQL Server Integration Services, SQL Server Analysis Services, SQL Server Reporting Services, and SQL Server Browser. All of which are running. Something that took me offguard was the installation did not ask me to provide an SA password. Other than that, the install looked like it went good.
I was able to connect to the local instance of the SQL Server 2005 using the SQL Server Management Studio. I could connect with SA, or connect with Integrated Windows Authenication. Whoohoo. Off and running! As a matter of fact, for the SA account I could use any password and it would still log me in.
First thing I did was I went in to the copy wizard to attempt to copy a database from a server on our network to my local box. First it asked me for the remote server. Then when I specified my local instance in the wizard, the wizard complained that my local instance was NOT SQL Server 2005. Doh! This I didn't understand. I figured maybe I need to check for MS updates. Sure enough, I found that ther was a SP2 and then a hot-fix for that SP2. I applied both. Now I cannot connect from SQL Server Management studio to my local instance of SQL Server 2005 database server. I get the following error:
"An error 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: 2)"
However, I went in to see what other services I could connect to, and here's the results:
Analysis Services : OK!
Reporting Services (Windows Auth/Basic/Forms) : NG "The reporting Services Instance could not be found (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient)"
SQL Server Compact Edition : NG "The database cannot be found. Check the path to the database. [ File Name = CCG092 ] (SQL Server Compact Edition ADO.NET Data Provider)
Integration Services : OK!
I can connect to other SQL Server databases on our network. However, just not my local one. No one on the network can connect to me either.
I even turned off my windows firewall and still no luck connecting to my own.
So something really went wrong when I applied SP2, however, admittedly from the error message when I tried to use the copy wizard, something was probably already wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Can't connect to local server instance MSSQLSERVER in SQL Server Management Studio (SQL2005 sp2/Vista).
SQL Server Configuration Manager reports SQL Server2005 services: SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) Running. This would indicate the name of the SQL server is "MSSQLSERVER" correct? I chose "default" instance during the install and that is the name it gave itself.
I tried connecting to the server using the following for the Server Name: MSSQLSERVER and .MSSQLSERVER neither works.
The only thing that works for my installation is just plain "." (no quotes) and nothing else. Can this be correct because I can't find any reference to this. Thanks.

When I try to connect to my sql server 2005, from a asp.net web application (asp.net development server) using...
Database=Prism_Project_db; Server=(local); Integrated Security=SSPI; MultipleActiveResultSets=True
... as the connection string, i get:
Cannot open database "Prism_Project_db" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'R-LAPTOPRyan Holdren'.Yet I can connect using sql server management studio, no problem:
Server Type: Database Engine
Server: R-Laptop
Authentication: Windows Authentication
which connects as "R-LAPTOPRyan Holdren".
I do not understand how the login could work for one application and not for another. Can anyone help me get this working?

hello,
I have a question about opening files in the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio.
In the old Query Analyzer from SQL 2000 I can open SQL Files via drag & drop (from explorer to QA) or open it with a double click in the explorer. Then the Files opened, if I had actual a connection to a server / database (QA is stared with one file and has a connection to Server/Datebase), with this connection.
Now in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio I'll be asked everytime for Server and have to get the database from the database list - it does not connect automaticly to server/database, that is actual connected (I have opened a file with the connection and a connected database in the object explorer).
Someone do not have this problem - but we found no option to set it up.
Any ideas?
thanks &
best regards,
Christian Kiedels

what is the problem here? please help me....
I recently installed SQL Server Management Studio Express, and used it to connect remotely to SQL Server 2005 Express. The first connect worked fine. It was suggested to me to update ODBC drivers to connect to the server using Microsoft Access. In doing so, I found what I thought were Studio Express updates and tried to install them. From then on, I could no longer access the server. The error was a nebulous one that indicated that is could not find the server.
I verified that the the server was set up correctly by installing Studio Express on another machine, and it connected fine.
I uninstalled and reinstalled. When I ran it, I did not get the "first time use" routine, and still could not connect. I reinstalled MDAC with my Windows XP sp2 disk and reinstalling Studio Express, and still could not connect.
I started a thread - http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?postid=2557611&siteid=1 - on SQL Server Express foram, and they verified that the server was set up correctly. They suggested that the client network protocol stack on your computer is broken. They suggested I post here to seek help in fixing it.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,Can I use SQL 2005 Management studio to connect to SQL 2000 server?
View 1 Replies View RelatedPlease, I use tyhe Visual Studion 2005 SQL Server Express Edition Management Studio (SMSE) to create the backend database and trying to set the connectionstring from the web config file, but what I continue to get as an error is that "<computername>/ASPNET" login failed for that user, cannot login to the Management Studio.
This is my expression from the web config file
<connectionStrings><clear /><add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS; Database=<dbname>;User Instance=true; Integrated Security=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
Is there anything I do wrong? Please, I need to solve this and it's urgent.Thanks

I have installed 2005 in a new machine with reporting services and configured the reporting services fine. I see the virtual directories fine in IIS but when I try connecting to the report server using IE (http://localhost/reports or http://servername/reports) i get page cannot be displayed errro. When I try connecting using management studio I get the following error
TITLE: Connect to Server

Hi Everyone,
Just like the title says:
Can you connect to an Oracle DB using MS Sql Server Management Studio Express?
If so, can anyone please give me an example?
Thanks heaps!
hello there,
I appreciate any help on the following issue:
When I want to connect to a local report server on as shown in the "Reporting Services Tools" tutorial (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-au/library/aa337424.aspx), the SSMSE does not show the option "Reporting Services" in the "Server type" drop down list in the "Connect to server" dialog.
The tutorial says "In the Server type list, select Reporting Services. If Reporting Services is not on the list, it is not installed."
This must be wrong as the SSCM clearly shows an installed and running "SQL Server Reporting Service (...)".
Also if i call the webinterface (http://localhost/reports/) a page loads that says "SQL Server Reporting Services Home" with some options. And here something is not correct too. The "contents" tab of the report manager says "There are no items in Home."
I started to work on some basic tutorials using the sql server business development studio, and everything works fine. I can create reports, which derive data from the AdventureWorks db properly.
Can anyone tell me the adequate steps to fix the SSMSE connection problem and the webinterface view problem?
Here are some additional informations:
I use WinXP SP2, which makes the IIS version 5.1
SQL server is 2005 express with advanced features
and i installed the management toolkit, and the AdventureWorks db.
Installation history is as follows:
.NET framework 2.0 + VS2005 professional edition was installed
1. installed ss2005express+advanced features, on a named instance. worked fine. I did not install the SSMSE at this point, as i knew it is included in the toolkit too.
2. configured the reporting services through the "reporting services configuration" tool. worked fine.
3. installed the management tool kit. worked fine.
4. installed the AdventureWorks db. installed, but was not attached automaticaly to the database engine.
5. attached the AdventureWorks db to the database engine manually. worked fine, can be viewed and accessed properly.
So there I am. I have no clue what went wrong.
A last hint that makes me think is this: In the SSCM the sql server an the sql server reporting services have different instance ids (MSSQL.1 and MSSQL.2 respectively).
Thanks in advance for your solutions and hints, that is - for your time :-)

Hi,
I'm getting the following error message when I want to connect to reporting services through SQL Server Management Studio. I have also check the reporting services configurations manager for any issues but still can't connect. The http://localhost/reportserver also is down. I also checked if ASPNET account belongs to the Reporting Services security settings and it does. IIS is up and running.
I'm running SQL 2005 Enterprise 64bit with Service Pack 2.

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 am unable to connect to my database on a VPS server using server management studio express. I am able to ping the server. can connect to a local database but i have the same issue as others
Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server
have set the server so that it will allow remote connections and reset the server just to make sure that it has been implemented.
when i use osql in command prompt to make a test connection it tells me this
[SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server
[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.
on this forum it says to perform a ping and and an a ping a- to my server which does work.
Have been working on this for 3 days and can't figure it out.
Even had a guy in New Zealand who is usually my messiah of SQL and he can't figure it out so I'll be impressed if someone knows the answer.
I will buy a crate of beer for the person who solves this for me as this problem is costing me money! Maybe even 2 if done by end of tomorrow 6pm GMT!
If you don't want the beers, i will be more than happy to give a virtual pat on the back. :-)
If you need any more info, i will be watching this thread like a hawk so i'll happily answer any questions that you may have if i can.
Thanks in advance

I've seen the following error posted when people try to connect to their server via their applications but didn't see anyone having problems when trying to connect with SQL Server Management Studio Express. Am I missing something here? This is the 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: 2)>>The server is not remote so I don't see why I need to enable remote connection. I am also using the default connection settings.
