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?

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:

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?

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

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.

Cannot Connect To SQL 2005 From Vista

Apr 8, 2008



Hi all. I have a 64 bit Windows 2003 cluster with 4 named instances of SQL Server 2005.

Im unable to connect via ODBC or from applications from Windows Vista to the named instances.
There are no problem connecting to default intances.

The ODBC give me a SQL State 08001 error. In the bottom of the error it talks about not allowing remote connections, but the instances allows both TCPIP and named pipes.

The SQL 2005 cluster are running SP2 and Vista have Native Client upgraded to SP2.

Any ideas??

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 ?

Cannot Connect To SQL 2005 Using Vista ODBC Administrator

Mar 12, 2008

Here's the context:

Database server:
- Remote machine running SQL 2005 Standard as a named instance
- Named pipes and TCP are enabled for remote connections
- SQLBrowser service is running
- Listening on default named pipe (\servernamepipeMSSQL$instancenamesqlquery)

Client:
- Vista Business machine
- Not in same domain as server, but on the same network (via Cisco VPN)
- SQL 2005 Express is installed (for use with local databases)
- Windows Firewall enabled
- Running Symantec Antivirus, Corporate Edition

Connectivity:
- I CAN connect to SQL 2005 databases on the remote server using "nperverinstancename"
- I CAN connect to SQL 2005 databases on the remote server using Excel 2007

The problem is that I cannot successfully create an ODBC datasource using the "ODBC Data Source Administrator" application. I'm using the "SQL Server" driver and trying to create a System DSN. I'm also running the tool with elevated permissions.

- When I try to use "servernameinstancename" as the server and TCP as the connection type, I get this error:

Connection failed: SQL Server Error: 18452; "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.

- When I try to use "npervernameinstancename" as the server and Named Pipes, I get this error:

Connection failed: SQLState: '01000'; SQL Server Error: 1326; [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen(Connect()).
Connection failed: SQLState: '08000'; SQL Server Error: 17; [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

Help! I've really been beating my head against the wall on this one. It all works just fine with a Windows XP client machine.

Cannot Connect W/ Java App But Can Connect W/ .Net App - SQL Server Express 2005

Dec 12, 2006

I'm having a problem connecting with a Java application but I CAN connect using my .Net application - the user name and password are the same for both (using the same database on SQL Server Express 2005).

The error I get is: "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot open database "CORNERS" requested by the login. The login failed." An interesing note - I get the same message if the database is not running.

SQL Server Express 2005 is installed in mixed mode.

Here is my connection string in the .Net appplication: <add key="connectString" value="Server=(local);UID=sa;PWD=myPasswd;Database=CORNERS" />.

These are my values in my Java app web.xml -

<init-param>
<param-name>DBDriver</param-name>
<param-value>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBURL</param-name> <param-value>jdbc:sqlserver://localhostsqlexpress:1055;databaseName=CORNERS</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBUser</param-name>
<param-value>sa</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBPwd</param-name>
<param-value>myPasswd</param-value>
</init-param>.

And yes, the port is 1055 - I checked to find it.

I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.0 (sqljdbc_1.0.809.102).

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong so that the login fails in the Java application but works in the .Net application?

Cannot Install SQL Server Express On Vista Ultimate - Cannot Find MS SQL Server Native Client

Apr 5, 2007

I am trying to install SQL Server Express - (the non ADV version) and get the following error.

"An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Server Native Client cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'sqlncli_x64.msi'".



I have 64 bit Vista Ultimate running on an HP dv9000.

I am using the download from the bottom of the download page for SSX where it says 64 bit version.



Prior to this I got the. "64-bit ASP.net is registered. Required 32-bit ASP.NET to install Microsoft Reporting services 2005(32-bit)." messagd during the pre-install scan. From what I gather in the posts, the reporting issue is different from my installation package problem.



I have been trying to prove a point to friends about how far you can go with SSX but am having no luck installing it. This whole process took 1 hour in XP but I've been stymied for 2 days.



I would appreciate being pointed at the right downloads for what seems to be a simple install.

SQL Server On Vista Please Help

Mar 20, 2008

Hi all,
I'm a part time Web Developer and have recently upgraded to Vista Ultimate. I used to run SQL Server 2000 on XP without a hitch. Obviously I have had to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 to get it to run on Vista, I see Microsoft provide the free SQL Server Express, I tried that but I could not get it to connect to any databases out on the internet. (is this correct?)

So I downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Evaluation, installed then ran the Service Pack over the top. Now my problem is that I dont seem to have any access to anything that looks like a Management console for me to connect to any datatbases.

In my Start/All Programs list I have Microsoft Server 2005 but it only has a shortcut to Configuration tools, nothing else!

Even in Express there was a shortcut to some sort of interface that allowed me to setup DB's etc, but I can't find it in this version.

I am used to using Enterprise Manager from 2000 could someone please advise me on what I need to run or if I have missed installing something or have downloaded the incorrect version or something!

Any help would be great and have a great Easter!

SQL Server 2005 Setup Of 2 Vista Machines, Can't Get Individual Network Login Accounts To Work On Each Others SQL Server

Apr 16, 2008


Hello all,

I have 2 networked PC's both running vista ultimate

1st is Laptop and is running its own SQL Server at laptoplaptopSQL
2nd is Desktop and is running its own SQL Server at desktopdesktopSQL

Now both machines have seperate windows login accounts.

When I go SQL Server management studio I go to browse and each machine can see the other machines SQL Server, but when I go to login I get SQL Login falied for users" The user is not associaed with a trusted SQL server connection".

So I then go to logins new login and try to add my other pc's user account.
The problem I see is that when I go to search and then location it only shows its own PC's location and not the location of my other networked pc? So if I am on Desktop and in my theory want to add laptopuser to the desktop SQL Server logins I get:

"create failed for login laptopuser

An exception occurred while executing Transact SQL statement laptopuser is not a valid windows NT name. give the complete name


Not sure on where to go from here.

Any help would be great

Which roughly translates to from the header file ...

#define SSCE_M_INCORRECTPROVIDERVERSION 29022 // The version of the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server is not correct. Install MDAC 2.8 or later. [,,,Version,,]

When a Windows Mobile or Pocket PC device tries to do a ServerExecute

HResult = -2147467259

Message = " [ 9 ]"

NativeError = 29022

numericErrorParameters = {9,0,0}

Source = "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition"

A very similar error.

From this it seems that both SQLCE 2 and 3 seem to want MDAC 2.8+ drivers. The drivers installed with Vista for SQL Native client seem to be versioned 6.0.* and the required versioning would seem to need to be in line with MDAC 2.8.

Are there installable drivers to bump the versioning of SQLNCLI or SQLOLEDB upto MDAC 2.8+ levels?

Or is there an alternative that will make it possible to run SQLCE RDA apps with Vista as the SQLCE server (i.e. sqlcesa30.dll)?

Cheers,

Jonathan

SQL Server 2005 On VISTA

Jul 3, 2007

I am having real problems connecting to SQL Server (Express) 2005 when running Visual Studio 2005. I keep getting the following error:
(provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified).
I have checked through serveral forums and have done the following to no avail.


SQLBrowser server is running.
In Surface area config, remote & Local connections are enabled for TCPIP/and named pipes.
To rule out firewall issues I turned off my firewall (Norton 360) and windows defender - I checked that the windows firewall was off too.
Both VS05 and SQL Server Management studio are both run using admin priviledges.
Visual Studio and SQL Server are on the same laptop.
I can connect to SQL Server Express via VS05 Server Explorer, I only get this error while running my ASP.Net program.
My connection string is as follows:
<add key="Main.OracleConnectionString" value="data source=FENASD;user id=fenas;password=xxxx;persist security info=false;"/>
I have used to logon details to confirm that I can log into the DB using the Management Studio.
Any ideas for what else I can try??

Thanks Ash...

Hi guys!

This is sort of an SQL Server question...

I have an opportunity to install Vista on my machine and I'm wondering which version I should install if I plan on doing development on SQL Server 2005 and VS 2005.

Should I install Vista x64 or x86? Is there a significant performance increase when running x64 (I have an Intel E6400 and 2 GB RAM).

Thanks in advance guys!!!

SQL Server 2005 SP2 For Vista

Mar 26, 2007

hi all, does the SQL Server 2005 SP2 install work for Vista? I'm running Business Edition and

I have a Geographic Information systems (GIS) application from ESRI (ArcGIS) that installed

SQL Server 2005 express on my desktop to manage geodatabases, so theoretically SP2 should

install OK? Anyone else out there using SQL Server on Vista with similar issues?

thanks in advance

Z
