Can I Use A Hostname On Registering The Server With TCPIP?
Jan 7, 1999
Hi everyone,
my SQL is running TCPIP and everytime I register the server from a client, I have to enter in the IP address. Can I use a hostname to map an IP address to a server name and then enter the server name to register the server?
Can someone explain me, if it's possible to set my SQL servername equal to the hostname of the server ? Of the moment, i have to log in with : WS003/sqlexpress But I want to log in like this : WS003
Do I have to do anything when hostname (servername) with SQL Server 2005 install was changed from OLDNAME to NEWNAME? If yes, what need to be done and syntax? I notice it under SYSSERVERS table still contain the OLDNAME.
Hi allI'm struggling to find an answer to this one!We've configured our SQL boxes to run under a different port number,e.g. from 1433 to 4533. This works fine under our Citrix enviornmnetwhere the dsn is configured to use the new port. The problem comes interms of SQL Server management. For example, when you try andconfigure SQL Replication, it is not possible to add the subscriberunless the SQL Servce runs under port 1433, the default port. Thesame goes when you try to add the server as a registered server withinthe Enterprise Manager MMC.Does anyone know how you can configure SQL Server to run under adifferent port number, without naffecting SQL REPLICATION, etc?Many thnaksNikJoin Bytes!
I am trying to pass a text file from desktop machine to PDA thro TCP-IP protocols. It follows Server (on desktop machine) and Client (on pda) architecture. File is converted to bytes and will be pushed to network stream. The client on PDA will receive the bytes and store it on queue and writes the file on PDA. The operation is accomplished through threads on both Server and client. Applications are developed on MS Visual Studio 2005 (C#).
For large files like 1024 KB or having lines about 15000, it takes around 15 minutes. Can anyone give a better idea to transmit files from desktop machine to PDA using TCP-IP protocols.
When using the MS SQL 2005 JDBC driver, I now need to have the DNS nameresolution to the client correctly set up. If not I get the followingerror:SQLState: 08S01SQLError: 0Message: hostname : hostnameWhere "hostname" is the client host name. It doesn't seem to matter ifIuse an IP address or hostname in my connection URL. When searching thenet,I have seen a similar error, but not exactly the same, where themessage is"Hostname: hostname not found" (once again, here "hostname" is theclientmachine) where they suggested the issue was the DNS name conflict.I found the error goes away if the client machine's hostname match theDNSname used for the same IP addess that the DB server is using. Onework-around is to set hostname on the client to the IP address beingused.I know the right thing to do is set the hostname and the DNS namelookup thesame, but I have a customer who doesn't want to do this. They didn'thave tofor 2003, and they don't want to for 2005. Sigh. Is there a way todisablethis feature?
Does anyone know what SQL Server uses to identify other servers which contain SQL Server, when you attempt to register a new server through enterprise mgr? For instance when you go through the new sql server registration wizard, the second screen allows you to choose what server you would like to register, and it shows you the available servers on the lan that contain sql server 6.5 or 7.0. What is enterprise mgr using to locate the other servers containing SQL Server? Thanks in advance.
I just created a new db on a programmer's machine. Now I cannot register his sql server on my sql server. It doesn't like 'sa'. I can connect as 'administrator' but then I cannot do anything. Seems like the logins are messed up. I am not able to execute any stored procedures as administrator.
I have recently installed SQL Server 2000, And trying to register a remote SQL 7 server, through enterprise manager which fails with the following error message: Timeout expired
I am able to connect to the same server using Query Analyzer. I was able to register this server from the same machine, prior to the installation of SQL 2000. Also, I am still able to connect to other SQL 7 servers, with SQL 2000 enterprise manager.
Over the weekend we changed ISPs on our SQL Server 2000 machine. The only configuration change was the IP address. I'm able to register the server from client machines using EM which are on the same network, but I can't register it from home. I've verified the IP address, username/password etc and the connection just fails with the message 'Sql Server does not exist or access is denied.' Could this be a port issue? Any ideas? Thanks.
Please pardon my ignorance, but I am using MS SQL2000...On system start upthe Server Service Manager defaults to server "BACK" which is not evenregistered in the SQL Enterprise Manager. Enterprise Manager shows only oneserver " OFFICE" which is the one I want to default to. How do I remove the"Back" server completly from the system?thank you
Ok, well I just installed Visual Studio.NET 2003 on my PC, and to prepare for next years courses I thought I might get going on some of the exercises. But I am rather new to this and when I try to expand "SQL Server" in the "Server Explorer Window" I get this message.
Could not automaticly discover any SQL Server instances. Choose Register SQL Server instance from the shortcut menu if you know there are SQL Server instances on this machine.
From there all I know is that I can right click on "SQL Server" and chose register new instance, but I do not know what to enter, and it suggrests leaving it balck but that doesn't work. I will get an instance but when I try to expand it another error pops up.
So as you can see I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to SQL Server, can any one help me with this?
hi, I have just installed Ms sql 6.5 and tried to register the server, I typed a name and did not get any response. This installation was on a single pc which is not connected to the network... any idea of why the server is not responding. Do I need to give a name to the pc before I installed the sql server and then use register the server...
Hi all, I have installed SQL Server 2k personal ed on Win xp and now I want to add another instance other than that one I added when installation.But I do not know how? I used EM and its wizard but it says could not find server or access is denied... -any quick help is appreciated

Hi all,We have standardized on Hyperion as our reporting tool. So far I haveonly set up a couple of Access databases as data sources for it. Nowthere is a request to report off our eOn (telephony management) SQLServer database using Hyperion. The eOn SQL Server box is in aworkgroup that is not part of the rest of our domain. (We only haveone domain because we don't have a "forest", whatever that means.) Itis behind a router owned by eOn along with a PBX and some other stuff.Setting up a data source for Hyperion requires creating a special datasource file called an .oce on the box where the Hyperion fat client(required for most administrative tasks) resides, and also setting up adifferent special data source file called a .das on the server wherethe Hyperion services run. (The analysts and end-users do not have thefat client, their access is web-based.)I have to register the eOn SQL Server by using the IP address and SQLServer authentication. (I was told that I can't use Windowsauthentication because it is not in the domain.) From the box onwhich the Hyperion fat client resides, I cannot register the eOn SQLServer. The error message is "timeout expired". Tracerting indicatesthere are no intermediate hops when attempting to connect from thisVLAN. From my desktop, which is on a different VLAN, I can connect toand register it. This trip includes one hop at our 6509. From one ofmy servers which is on the same VLAN as the fat-client box, I am ableto connect and register. On the fat-client box I tried deleting andre-registering another SQL Server and there was no problem.The IP address I have to use to connect to the eOn SQL Server is *NOT*the actual IP address of the box it resides on, but rather the eOnrouter, which translates it to the address of the server. We have nocontrol over this, eOn creates this setup. I'm not sure how it knowswhich of the devices behind it a given message is for.Ideas?
I was on the SQL Server Express Edition site (http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/express/default.mspx), and I used a link that suggested by registering my SQL Server Express I could get some royalty free images and an e-book. I followed the process, and they immediately sent me an email full of links, some of which do not seem to work. The link for the Registration Benefits Portal takes me to a "Page Not Found" error on Microsoft. The article within Resources called "Using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services with SQL Server Express" also doesn't work.
I guess I didn't really need these "benefits", but it was kind of aggravating. This is 10 minutes I won't ever get back.
Since the email said to report any problems to the forums, this is what I am doing.
I have set up SQL Server Express with a Server Name / Instance name RMUKOCSQLEXPRESS
However, from another Server running the full SQL Server 2005 Management Studio I cannot seem to register the above Server. The usual message of : "An error has occurred while establising a connection to the server...."
I have allowed remote connections, set up default, named pipes etc on the SQL Server Express. Yet from the SQL Server Express Management Studio I can register full 2005 Server / Instances but not the other way round.
Is there anything else I need to be aware of or check for.
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)
When I try to regiter a sql server, I take this error message. I am using Sql Server 2005. What is the problem,can you help me?
I am running SQL 7 (SP3) on a 2000 Server. When I configure the server as part of the Workgroup I have no problems connecting from the workstation. However, if I join the server to our 2000 domain, I cannot connect and/or register the server from the workstation through EM.
Is this a security issue? If so, what are the minimum requirements or what else am I missing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
We are running 3 versions of SQL - 6.5, 7.0, and now 2000. I have all three versions installed on my PC and run Enterprise Manager to manage the 2000 and 7.0 servers. The one 7.0 server is registered fine. When I try to register the other 7.0 server I get the following message -
(SQL DMO) SQL Server xxxx must be upgraded to version 7.0 or later.
This same server is registered through Enterprise Manager on another PC running the 3 versions of SQL and both SQL 7.0 servers work fine on that Enterprise Manager installation.
Any suggestions as to what I need to do to be able to register the 7.0 server on the Enterprise Manager running on my PC?
I'm trying to register a remote OLAP server under OLAP Manager. After I enter the machine name I get the following:
Errors occurred while connecting to <server>. Cannot open the following registry key on the server computer (<server>): SoftwareMicrosoftOLAP ServerServer Connection Info Do you still want to register this server?
The noticeable thing about this error message is that the registry key is missing the first level (HKEY_....). Has anyone been able to register a remote server? I can run OLAP Manager on the server without a problem. I just uninstalled and reinstalled OLAP services on the server and my desktop. There is a registry key with this path under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on the server.
My office computer just had Vista installed on it and while going back through to re-install my software, I have encountered a problem in SQL Server 8.0. (Yes, I know it's old and likely has comparability issues with Vista, but I don't have the option to upgrade at this point.) I have two servers to register. One works fine, but the other won't register and returns the error "SQL Server does not exist or access denied. ConnectionOpen (Connect())". I am able to register these on machines running XP and Windows Server 2003, but not on my Vista machine. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
My office computer just had Vista installed on it and I have now encountered a problem in SQL Server 2000 sp4. (Yes, I know it's old and has comparability issues with Vista, but I don't have the option to upgrade at this point.) I have two servers to register. One works fine, but the other won't register and returns the error "SQL Server does not exist or access denied. ConnectionOpen (Connect())". I was able to register this one server that isn't working while previously running XP on my office computer and even as a test on another server running Windows Server 2003. This leads me to believe the problem is isolated with my installation on Vista and not with any permissions, etc. I have been scouring different forums looking for a fix for this, but have come up empty handed. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

When Trying to register a SQL Server using Windows Authentication, I get the following error:
Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
When I edit the properties and make it SQL Authentication, it works fine. The SQL Server Service is starting up with a domain user account. If that makes any difference. Funny thing is, that my co-worker, can register the SQL Server in his Enterprise Manager using Windows Authentication. We are both Domain Admins and members of the servers local admin group. So, I'm not sure what to do now.
I checked under Security, Logins...and neither of us are listed under there.
