Local SQL Server Instances Not Showing Up On Local Servers Tab Of Management Studio Logon Screen
We have a 64-bit VM server running SQL Server 2005. The SQL Server on this particular VM server has 6 local instances installed. On the Management Studio logon screen I can type the full name of the local instance and connect to it, however if I press the drop down in the Server name field, choose Browse and select the Local Servers tab there is nothing listed under Database Engines.
Any idea why the 6 local instances don't show up under Database Engines? This is preventing me from installing a vendor application because their installer looks for local SQL Server instances on this server, but if SQL Server won't even show the local instances then the installer doesn't see them either.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig

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!

SQL Server Management Studio Don't See Local SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition X64 On Vista Ultimate X64
SQL Server Management Studio don't see local SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition x64 on Vista Ultimate x64 Hi, I have strange problem with SQL Server Management Studio on Vista Ultimate x64. Nothing change after installing all newest service packs or hot fixes. I have two running SQL servers on my local machine and all surrounding SQL services running as well. I have turn on TCP/IP and Named pipes on both of this servers. Actually I have reinstalled second server after first one wasn't contactable in any way... After finished installation of second one and after applying service packs I turn on SQL Server Management Studio and still nothing in local servers pane when Browsing for servers to connect but in network servers after few seconds I see one of my local servers (first one installed) and one SQL Server 2000 on other machine (on this one I can't connect because of time out error). Also when browsing for servers in Local Servers I see my machine in Integration Services. Only difference between this running services is that Integration service log on as Network Service and all other SQL services log on as Local System account and on SQL Server that is invisible I have also SQL Server Reporting Services running. Services looks like this: Name Status Startup type Log On AsSQL Server (KONGORA) Started Automatic Local System SQL Server(MSSQLSERVER) Started Automatic Local System SQL Server Active Directory Hel Automatic Network Service SQL Server Agent (KONGORA) Started Automatic Local System SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) Started Automatic Local System SQL Server Analysis Services (KONG Started Automatic Local System SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQL Started Automatic Local System SQL Server Browser Started Automatic Local System SQL Server Full Text Search (KONG Started Automatic Local System SQL Server Full Text Search (MSSQL Started Automatic Local System SQL Server Integration Services Started Automatic Network Service SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQL Started Automatic Local System SQL Server VSS Writer Started Automatic Local System Thanks Stjepan

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.

Stopping SQL Server 2005 Via Local Management Studio Throws Error &&"RPC-server Is Not Available&&"
Hi everybody, I use my local installed Management Server to stop SQL Server 2005 instances. I use the context menu of the "registered Servers" window. That works fine several times. Today I suddenly got error message "RPC-server is not available. (As we run a german version the exact error message is : "Der RPC-Server ist nicht verfügbar (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA) (mscorlib)"). I checked the services of the machine hosting the SQL Server, but verything seems to be OK. I rebooted the maschine without success. I don't know what happened. But I installed a lot of Updates from MS update site. I think it has something to do with one of these updates. By the way, it is no problem to stop SQL Server via Management Studio installed on the maschine that host the SQL Server! Anyone experience the same problem ? Wolfgang

Columns Not Showing On Local Host Reporting Services?
i created a layout in visual studio 2005 with the proper dimensions to print on an Avery 5160 label sheet (3 labels across and 10 down) in the Body properties, i set Columns to 3, ColumnSpacing to 0.125", and Size 2.625" (W) & 1" (H). i created a list table with a text box of the same dimension as the Size in the Body. the thing is when i go to preview the report in visual studio, it just shows all the data but only in one column, but if i click the Print Layout button, it shows all 3 columns, then when i print it, it works! so i assumed that this was just the way visual studio handled the data. no big deal... the problem is when i upload this to the reporting services on our local intranet and run it from the reporting services, it shows only one column (the left most only) and prints that way too; it's almost like i need a Print Layout button on the reporting services (which there isn't one). is there something that i need to set so that it will print in 3-column form from the reporting services so people can print on label sheets? i hope this makes sense. also, i tested this on the same printer just to make sure it wasn't hardware.

Move Report File From Reporting Server Back To Local Visual Studio Project
I am not sure if this is possible or not, but I have to at least ask. I have a SQL Reporting Services project that has a QA server version and then a Production server version. So when requested changes are made to the reports, I make the changes in Visual Studio and then push to QA. After the changes have been tested and approved, I then push the changes to the Production server. I have come across an issue, where requested changes were made in Visual Studio (a lot of changes), and pushed to QA. The users now have changed their minds and they want instead to stay with what is in production. So, I am looking for a way to recover the report file on the production web server, bring it back into my visual studio project to replace the report that I had changed. Is this possible, or will I have to start over and step one and reverse the changes in Visual Studio. Let me know. Thank you, T.J.

Problem Accessing My Local A: Verses The SQL Servers A: Drive
I am having a problem accessing my local A: drive, using the bulk insert command. The actual sql server pc thinks I am accessing its sql server's A: and not my local a: drive. I am trying to read in a simple CSV delimited ascii file into a sql table. Wow what a nightmare just to read a simple ascii file into a table. Unfortunatley I am writing a program in VB.net for an operator to import ascii data from floppy diskettes. I am using this command below: The command works fine but I have to go to the actual server and put the floppy disk in over there. I want the operator to be able to use there own A: or any location drive for that matter. Sql server over the network is not allowing us to access any local drive to import this data. I get an error 21 because the sql server does not have the floppy in its drive. It seems like some kind of security issue, but I am not sure. Any information would be most appreciated in this matter. Thanks in advance. Sarah Diane Reid sample code below: BULK INSERT Master.dbo.imVBMbAddress FROM 'a:mbAddressPipes.txt' WITH (FORMATFILE = 'a:importdatambaddress.fmt', FIRSTROW=2);

Visual Studio 2005 Standard And SQL Server Management Studio?
I am new to visual studio and I am still not sure of all its components and features. I installed visual studio 2005 standard edition but cannot find SQL Server Management Studio? I guess this must be because it is not included with Visual studio 2005 standard. Is it included with VS 2005 professional? I want to add pictures of products to my shopping site using an SQL database and I’ve been told that SQL Server Management studio is required as it is a graphical tool. How would I go about obtaining the SQL server management studio. There seems to be different versions of SQL server that it is confusing to know which one to purchase. Will the SQL server 2005 version that comes with Visual studio standard be sufficient for me now right? I want to create a shopping site with hundreds, perhaps even thousands of products. I want to use an SQL server 2005 database. The database will include ‘dynamically generated’ product images if that is the correct terminology. My goodness, it seems I still have so much to learn.

PHP / ASP Interface To Local SQL Server
I have access to a Microsoft SQL server, but can only access it from thesame local webserver. I need ideally to be able to access it, for bothreading and writing, from a different webserver / computer application,which isn't directly possible. The local webserver which has access to theSQL server has both PHP and ASP on it, so I was wandering if its going to bepossible for me to put together a page in one of PHP or ASP that will act asa translator between the two. I know it will be fairly easy to send thequery from the remote website to the database, just using a post/get stringand sending that to the SQL server, but i'm not sure how I could get all ofthe results back to the remote server for processing and usage of theresults. Ideally i'd like to have just one script on the local webserverthat will interpret everything and return whatever is needed, without havingto be reprogrammed to cope with specific queries. Is this going to bereasonably possible, just to take the result of the query that is run andsend the whole lot to the remote website either as a mssql result set or asan array of values I can access as normal arrays?Any help greatly appreciatedAnd I can't change the SQL server since its provided by my university, andapart from this limitation is very powerful, very fast on the campusnetwork, and with unlimited free storage space and tables.ThanksDavid

Can't Access (local) Server
I folks. I have something going on with my local SQL instance. It's SQL 2000 Standard with SP3a on a W2k3 Server with SP1. It's been running fine for several months. I got brave over the weekend and broke something. I installed the .Net Enterprise Architect and SQL Reporting Services. My SQL instance is still running, but I can't get to it through EM and SQLServerAgent won't start. When I try to start SQLServerAgent manually, it gets about halfway through the process, then shuts itself down again. I also have an MSDE instance that is not complaining at all. I can get to the server from my applications. I can also register it in EM with the IP and get to it that way. Here's what's in sqlagent.out: 2007-01-02 16:34:41 - ! [298] SQLServer Error: 6, Specified SQL server not found. [SQLSTATE 08001] 2007-01-02 16:34:41 - ! [298] SQLServer Error: 11004, ConnectionOpen (Connect()). [SQLSTATE 01000] 2007-01-02 16:34:41 - !

It just times out after whatever time you put in the timeout variable. 0=unlimited, and so just sits there.I am also using the MSSQL Server Management Studio locally to connect to the same database, and although slow, does connect after about a minute or so. I thought they would be using the same type of underlying connection to access the server and database? Is this correct? Can they put restrictions in place for this specific sort of data access?Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue??Thanks for any helpAdam.

How To Update Web And Local Sql Server Databases?
I am new to programming in SQL and in VB. I use VWD to create web applications with a Hosted SQL database, locally though the databases are created in SQLExpress through Visual Web Developer. I have used the SQL Publishing Wizard to upload my local data to the web sql server. But, I'd like to have the same local database as is on the web, which is being updated by users, both data and user / membership data but am not sure how to create an easy, or even programmatical way to update both databases periodically. Thank you for your help. Cjsteury
