Can't Connect To SQL 2005 Express With SQL Server Management Studio Express
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.

Cannot Connect To SQL Server 2005 Express With Management Studio Express
On my home machine without permanent network connections enabled, I cannot get the Management Studio connect to the database server.  Always get this error:

 

Cannot connect ot MPLIAMSQLEXPRESS

Additional Information:
 
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: SQL Network Interfaces, erro: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)(Microsoft SQL Server)

 

I have used the SQL Surface Area Configuration Tool to reset the defaults to allow remote connections, stopped and restarted the server, but still get the same message.

Please help.

SQL SERVER 2005 Issue, Cannot Connect Using Management Studio Express
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

Cannot Connect To Report Server From Management Studio Express
 

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 :-)

Cannot Connect To SQL Server With SQL Server Management Studio Express
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.

Cannot Connect Remotely To SQLExpress Via SQL Server Management Studio Express
 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

SQL Server Management Studio Cannot Connect To Local Instance Of SQL Server 2005 SP2
Hello,

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!

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio - Opening SQL-File From Explorer Does Not Connect Automaticly To Server/database
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,

How To Configure SQL Server Management Studio Express To Allow Doing Non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 From VB 2005 Express?
Hi all,
 
For the first time, I want to set up the configuration of my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to allow me in doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. The SSMSE and VB 2005 Express are in my Windows XP Pro PC that is part of our NT 4 LAN System in our office.  I read the article "How to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remotre connections" in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277/  about (i) "Enable remote connections for SQL Server 2005 Express", (ii) Enable the SQL Server Browser service", (iii) Create exception in Windows Firewall, and (iv) Create an exception for the SQL Server Browser service in Windows Firewall. I entered the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration and I could not decide what options I should take for doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express.  I have the following questions on the page of "Minimize SQL Server 2005 Surface Area":
(1)  I saw "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]".   I clicked on  [change computer] and I saw the
      following:   Select Computer
                      The Surface Area Configuration of this surface area of this computer or a remote computer.
                      Specify a computer to configure:  O Local computer
                                                                       O Remote computer
                       Should I choose the "Local computer" or the "Remote computer" option?
(2) Below the "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]", 
    I clicked on "Surface Area Configuration for Service and Connections",  Select a component and then configure its services and connections:  |-|  SQLEXPRESS
                                          |-| Database Engine
                                                    Service
                                I picked =>   Remote Connection
       On the right-hand side, there are:     O Local connections only
                                                            O Local and remorte connections
                                                                   O Using TCP/IP
                                                                   O Using named pipes only
                                                                   O Using both TCP/IP and named pipes
                        Should I choose   O Local and remorte connections and O Using named pipes only?
 
Please help and tell me what options I should choose in (1) and (2).

I Can No Longer Connect To My SQL Server Express 2005 From Manager Studio Express
Everything was working fine.  I have been able to connect using windows authentication.  Then, I went into the ODBC manager to add a data source and it failed to connect so I went back into the Server management studio to modify users.  After doing this I now get an error when I try to conenct the management studio to the SQL server.

I wasn't modifying the login for my windows account that I normally use, I was modifying a different one, however I now get the message "An error has occured while establishing a connection to the SQL server.  This kind of problem can ocure because the default behavior of the server does not support all connection methods" blah blah.

Does anyone know how I can attach to the server?  Or, do I need to somehow remove the server and create a new one?  How would I do that?

I am still a bit of a noob with SQL, but, when I use Enterprise Manager with my SQL 2000 server at the office, it is pretty simple to import data from pretty much any data source.  I have not been able to locate the Transform facility in the 2005 express software that I downloaded onto my home pc (to help me learn SQL).  Did I not install something that I need?  or am I just missing what I am looking for?  The net question is, how do I import data?
 
Thanks,
 
Tom

Cannot Create New Project In SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005
I installed SQL Server Express 2005 and was able to install the sample databases. I have been working through the on-line tutorial. In Lesson 4 of the tutorial it instructs you to select File, New, Project. However, when I select File, New there is no Project choice listed. Have I failed to install something correctly?
 
Thanks for any assistance.

How To Install Management Studio Express 2005 After VS2008 On Server 2008?
Ok so here's what happened:

Installed Server 2008 (64bit)
Installed VS2008 (+SQL 2005 Express, by default)

I've always installed SQL 2005 Dev (including the SQL Management Studio) before installing VS. Now I am trying to install just the management studio on this machine without success.

I tried installing the SQL workstation tools package from the SQL 2005 DVD but the installer detects the tools installed by SQL express (osql, etc.., but no management studio GUI) and the installer refuses to install anything else. I also tried downloading the separate installer for SQL management studio but it doesn't like something also: first thing the installer does is display this mesage:

"Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operating system For more information on supported configurations, see the product documentation."

Any way to do this without having to reinstall VS?

Thanks.

SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 Suddenly Stops Working?
Hello,

 

I am using SQL Server Express 2005 with VS2005.

Initially, I have installed SQL Server Express 2005 along with SQL Server Management Studio Express, and then as and when Service packs released I have installed all of them. My current version is SQL Server 2005 Express SP2 and SP2 Update.

 

I used this for about 15 days, then suddenly SQL Server Management Studio Stopped working! without any reason. When I try to run SSMSEE (Sql Server Management Studio Express Edition), hard disk light flickers for a while and then nothing.

 

To rectify this problem, I tried to repair the installation of SSMSEE through Add/Remove program, it went off successfully and now, SSMSEE ran perfectly, BUT, as soon as I restarted the computer and when I tried to run SSMSEE, same problem started again i.e. hard disk light flicker for a while and then nothing!

 

So, I uninstalled  SQL Server Express Edition along with all its baggage, and reinstalled the same. Again SSMSEE ran perfectly until I restart the computer. As soon as I restart and try to run the SQL SERVER MANAGEMENT STUDIO, it wont run.

 

One more thing, only SSMSEE stops working , SQL Server is working perfectly.

 

 I am at my wits end. I can't understand what to do? Has anybody encountered this probelm? please help me?

Can't Connect To SQL 2005 Express Edition Via Server Manangment Studio
I have installed SQL 2005 Express Edition on a Windows 2003 Web Edition server. Everything installed correctly, no errors to be found. I also have:

Local & Remote Connections using TCP/IP only turne don

SQL Browser is running as well.

I have tried connecting with the most recent CTP of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express    9.00.1399.00

When trying to connect using the SA account I recieve:

'An error has occured 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: 53)

After that failed I tried creating a connection locally on the server using ODBC Manager with no luck as well.

Microsoft SQL Native Client Version 09.00.1399

Running connectivity tests...

Any help would be appreciated.

Visual Studio 2005 Unable To Connect To SQL Server Express 2005
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.

Server Express, Management Studio Express, Visual Studio Standard, And An ASP.NET Page....
I believe I'm missing something as far as my configuration goes...I'm new to working with SQL server and the databinding I'm trying to do.

I have an ASP.NET page that has a radio button list box which I have databound to a database served up by SQL Express

I'm having a lot of problems with connections...

I was going to enumerate the behavior under each configuration (local only, remote tcp/ip only, remote pipes only, remote both), but I've realized that it is just flaky.  Sometimes I can connect to the db with SQL Studio express, sometimes not.  Sometimes I can add new tables and edit tables, sometimes not.  Sometimes I can create a new connection when trying to databind from within Visual Studio, and sometimes not (sometimes I can't even connect, other times, I can connect initially but when I build a query through the designer it then has problems).  Lastly, sometimes the ASP.NET page works correctly and sometimes not.

This all seems to be mostly independent of how I configure SQL Server as far as what kinds of connections are allowed.  I thought there was a pattern, but as I tested it more rigorously I found there wasn't.

What I would like to do is be connected to the same DB with Visual Studio and SQL Studio, edit the DB as I wish, databind to it, and test my ASP.NET page, all without needing to jump through a bunch of hoops (although right now I wouldn't even know what those hoops are...it's just a shot in the dark as to what will work).

It's all quite maddening and any help would be appreciated.

Can't Connect To Local Server Instance MSSQLSERVER In SQL Server Management Studio (SQL2005 Sp2/Vista)
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.

Cannot Connect Via C# But Can Via Server Management Studio
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?

Visual Studio Database File And SQL Server Management Studio Express Question
I have a database in my "App_Data" folder of my visual studio project.  I can view it fine in Visual Studio's built-in tools for managing a database attached to a solution.  However i recently started playing around with the SQL Server Management Studio Express program.  When i attach my database to Management Studio, and try to run my program it crashes.  I think it might be a permissions error?!? When i detatch it and reattach it in visual studio it runs fine again.   Any suggestions? ThanksJason
