Unable To Connect - SQL Express On Server 2003 From Vista

Nov 19, 2006

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

Unable To Connect After Installing Vista SP1

Feb 25, 2008

Hi,

I am using Sql server 2005 on our local network. I have an vpn open to an other network.
Before installing Vista SP1, I could simple connect to the db (sql server management studio, windows authentication).

After installing Vista SP1, I can connect to sql server when the vpn is closed. But when the vpn is open, I get the following message:

Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

Does anyone have a clue?

Unable To Connect To A Remote Database From Vista

Jan 3, 2008

We have a problem to connect to a specific database on our local network from a specific Vista machine. Several other XP and Vista machines are able to connect to the database without any problem. However, with the two latest Vista machines we received, it is impossible to connect to the database. In Microsoft SQL server Management studio express, we have the error 26 "error locating server/instance specified". We are sure the server name we entered is correct. We suppose the server is correctly configured as we are able to connect from other computers. From the machines that are not able to connect to the database, we can connect without problem to other databases. We also see the server, where the database is, on the network servers list in Microsoft SQL server Management studio. .
The version of the components are:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.3042.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.0.6000.16386 (vista_rtm.061101-2205)
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0.6000.16575
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.312
Operating System 6.0.6000
We verified we have the same version of components on the Vista machine from which the connection is successful.
The network database has the version 8.0.
We are usinng sql server authentification method.
We try to specify the IP address instead of the server name in the connection string. We also tried to specify the port.
We also tried to disable the firewall.
Unfortunatetly, we are not able to connect to this database. Any suggestion ?

Unable To Install SQL Server Express (SP1 Or SP2) On Vista

Apr 3, 2007

I am unable to install Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007. I sought help in the BCM forum, but the developer who I spoke with came to the conclusion that it is a SQL Server Express problem that I am experiencing, and so he recommended that I come here for help.

I am running on Vista Ultimate.

Every attempt I have made to install BCM (and later SQL Express Server 2005 separately, see below) has failed at the same point, with the same error message:

"SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'sa'.

Today I attempted to install SQL Express Server SP2 separately on its own, the idea being that if this worked, then I might be able to install BCM on top of it. I attempted the SQL EE SP2 installation after uninstalling all remnants of previous installations to the best of my ablity. The SP2 installation failed at the same point, and had the same appearance, as I saw in all prior attempts. (The installer reported no errors or warnings in its system checks prior to beginning the actual install.)

Here is the summary log from this trial:

Cannot Connect To Server In Vista

Jul 3, 2007

Hello!

I am new to SQL server 2005 and Windows Vista. I installed SQL server 2005 and SQL Server 2005 SP2. It seems that I get a "cannot connect to server" problem. I see the "Connect to server" popup window when hit the "Connect Object explorer" under the file menu or "Connect database Engine" under the Object explorer pane. Trying to see a Server name I recognized there was nothing there. Tried "browse for more" but It seems that no servers can be found at all.

I logged into Windows Vista with my account (with administrator rights, but not the Main Administrator account itself). I also tried SQL Server 2005 User Provisioning Tool for Vista, but it cannot find no instances in the "Available Privilegies" window.

I read a lot on forums on the net, but what is the best solution to use for this situation? Maybe I shall log on with the Main Admin Account and install again? Or is there better ways? Please can someone give me the best practices for this topic?

Thanks in advance!

New Vista Install =&&> Cannot Connect To SQL Server

Sep 14, 2007

Hi,

I've installed Windows Vista 64 bit on my pc (I had XP Pro). Also I've installed the management studio of SQL Server 2005 developer edition which I've uses also on my XP machine.

I've a online server at "myserver.myprovider.com". With C:WindowsSystem32cliconfg.exe a made a TCP/IP alias to with the name "MySql". In XP I then can connect in Sql management studio to "MySql" and everyting works perfect (I also use some other programs which needs the cliconfg alias.

After I installed Vista, I take the same steps (I've done this over 30 times, but in XP). When I then want to connect to "MySql" in management studio, I get this error: (translated from dutch) "Cannot connect to MySql. Maybe this error is caused by the fact that the SQL Server don't allow external connections. Error: 53.


Can someone help me with this?

Unable To Install SQL Server 2005 Express On A Vista Home Premium O/S

Mar 9, 2008



I have tried to install SQL Server 2005 Express several times with no success. I have followed the instructions to remove all SQL files on the Programs menu.
Then, when I attempt to install it again, it only goes as far as the database where it stops and gives the error message:
SQL Server cannot write system databases to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData because it contains files from a previous installation. To continue, move the databases from the specified folder, or specify a different installation folder. Then run SQL Server Setup again.

It doesn't give options and I can only abort the installation.

Does anyone have a remedy for a technologically challenged person?

Thank you.

Can't Connect To Remote Server Using SSMSE In Vista

Feb 11, 2007

Hi,
Sorry if this is the wrong forum.
I'm trying to connect to a remote server (on shared hosting) with Management Studio Express. I tried using it on Vista and it connects to the server and database perfectly. However, on Vista it gives the following error everytime:
TITLE: Connect to Server------------------------------
Cannot connect to sgc.gbdns.net.
------------------------------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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=53&LinkId=20476
------------------------------BUTTONS:
OK------------------------------
 
 
However, the host obviously has SQL server to allow remote connections as I'm able to connect from XP.
Both the XP and Vista PCs are running Avast free edition (the same builds) and both are running Windows firewall with management studio allowed through. Can anyone help?

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

Apr 7, 2007

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.

SQL Server Unable To Connect... Please Help

Jan 14, 2000

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???

Unable To Connect To Server

Nov 14, 2000

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?

Thank you!
Toni

Unable To Connect To Server

Jan 20, 2003

Hi,

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:

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

Unable To Connect To Server

Aug 2, 2001

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?

Thanks, Andre

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)

What else do I need to configure to make it work?

Thank you!

UNABLE TO CONNECT TO SERVER

Jul 20, 2005

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!

SQL Server Is Unable To Connect

Dec 12, 2006

Hi there,

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.

What is wrong?

Thank yuu

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.

Unable To Connect To SQL Server Database.

Oct 15, 2007

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.
