connection problem

Hi.
I have installed Microsoft SQL Server Desktop on Windows XP Pro. I can
connect to database from remote machines with Windows 98Se, but i can't
connect from machines with Windows XP.
ChrisI think that it is a problem with not having the 'correct' client network
utilities installed.
On the Start menu, select [All Programs], [Microsoft SQL Server], th
en
[Client Network Utility].
In the [Enabled Protocols] window, you should have both TCP/IP and Named
Pipes.
If one is missing, select the missing protocol from the list on the left
side, and click the [Enable] button.
Hopefully, if my memory is correct, that will take care of the problem.

Connection problem

I have 2 sql servers running on different machines. I want to manage both
servers from one machine. When I try to add the other server in the
enterprise manager it gives me the error "sql server does not exist or access
denied". I am using a valid log on user name that is set up on the server, I
have even tried using a windows username. I know that the problem has to lie
in authentication because I know the server exist. Anyone know of anything I
may be doing wrong?"Benjamin" <Benjamin@.discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message

To rule out the server permissions issue, in other words your account has
permissions on the server itself -- try using an account that has
administrative rights on the target server and sysadmin permissions on SQL
Server.
Steve|||Ok here is what I tried. I went to the remote sql server and created a
windows user that is part of the admin group. I then went to the enterprise
manager on the remote sql server and created a user which I browsed for and
got from the windows users list. I gave that login SA rights on the sql
server. I then went back to the other server and tried to register the
remote sql server using sql authentication. I used the username and password
that I had created and I still get the same error message. Any ideas?

Connection issue with named instance

Hi all,
Since the replacement of new client workstation I've trouble for connection
of these new machines ot My different SQL Servers. On this configuration we
only speak of client/server connected on the same LAN without any antivirus
enabled.
When my users hae their new PC's (W2K - MDAC 2.6 SP1), they try to connect
to my server via for example ODBC and in this case when they browse network
they can't see named instance (only default instance is displayed (port 1433)
!). Next to it if they force the name in the connection string they still
can't connect ot the server, because of the port resolution. My workaround
today is to force the port in the connection string of each client (quite
heavy, 2500 workstations !!!) On my servers I have TCP/IP and Named Pipes
enable.
I've performed different test of connection (telnet 1433 work, PortQRY
return that 1433 and 1434 are working (but it didn't return all the instances
name), ping OK, tracert ok,...)
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance

Concerning the first link, after checking all cases the result is the same
than before, the only workaround is to create an alias (force port number).
All my clients even set on dynamically determine port, can't find an instance
other than the default except if I set manually the expected port by the
server.
For the second link, after checking with my network team we have validate
that no firewall are placed between clients and servers.
Thanks for your help

Connection issue across network

I have about 30 machines that I currently manage. I should also say, I just
took over this position as Senior DBA. One machine is a Windows 2003 Quad
Processor 4GB ram box with SQL 2000 Standard Edition installed. I am in the
SQL Admin group and SQL is set for both SQL and WIndows authenication. Here
is the problem, I can not connect to this box from Enterprise Manager from my
desktop. If I Remote Admin into the box everything works fine. If I try to
register the server with any authenication method it doesnt work. I have
tried my personal account, domain accounts, SA, other admin accounts and
they all come back with Server does not exist or access denied. If I log in
locally or via RA everything is fine. Other admins can access this box
remotely and we all have the same security settings. All of the other
servers register fine.
I reviewed the Windows event log and auditing show that SQL has accepted my
authenication as trusted. SQL is using the standard TCP port 1433.
Any ideas?

So you can connect on the server (via TA session) but not from a client.
Consider that the client needs to be permitted to see the server ports and the server ports must be visible outside of the box. Here are a few things to check:
a.. Is the SQL Server Browser service running on the server?
b.. Are the external protocols enabled? (use SQL Server Surface Area Config tool)
c.. On the client, is the firewall configured to permit access to the ports?
d.. Are you trying to connect to the ports or are you letting the DNS server resolve the server instance?
e.. How are you trying to connect to the instance? In code? (Let's see the ConnectionString)
f.. Does the server show up in the list of visible servers in Server Explorer (Visual Studio)?
g.. Is the little yellow wire connected to the back of the server and does it lead (eventually) to the client? ;)
Check out Chapter 9 of my book... it's written for you (personally)... ;)

|||Well, lets see...
I can connect to all the other servers via Enterprise Manager, so network
issues are taken care of.
I can connect to this server via Remote Admin and Terminal Server so
Security issues are taken care of.
Other DBAs and support personnel can connect to the server via Enterprise
Manager so configuration issues are taken care of.
Hmmm... I don't have a yellow wire... maybe that is the issue... oh
wait... mine is blue... yep it's connected as well.
Remember, I can connect to the other 29 servers via Enterprise Manager, this
is the only one I can not connect to. Other DBAs can connect to this server
as well as the other 29. We are all in the same security groups. I can ping
the server by address and name, so network is good.
I try not to put easy stuff on the board, but this one has me stumped.
Oh send me a copy of your book and I will proof read it for you, free of
charge of course. Maybe even promote it in the SQL Classes I teach.

Have you tried ODBC Ping?
Is the SqlBrowser service started?
Has the SQL Server been configured to expose the external protocols? It
sounds like it, but I would double-check. Are you addressing it via DNS
address or by IP? Again, seeing the connectstring would help.

Connection issue across network

I have about 30 machines that I currently manage. I should also say, I just
took over this position as Senior DBA. One machine is a Windows 2003 Quad
Processor 4GB ram box with SQL 2000 Standard Edition installed. I am in the
SQL Admin group and SQL is set for both SQL and WIndows authenication. Here
is the problem, I can not connect to this box from Enterprise Manager from m
y
desktop. If I Remote Admin into the box everything works fine. If I try to
register the server with any authenication method it doesnt work. I have
tried my personal account, domain accounts, SA, other admin accounts and
they all come back with Server does not exist or access denied. If I log in
locally or via RA everything is fine. Other admins can access this box
remotely and we all have the same security settings. All of the other
servers register fine.
I reviewed the Windows event log and auditing show that SQL has accepted my
authenication as trusted. SQL is using the standard TCP port 1433.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

MCSE, MCDBA, MCTSo you can connect on the server (via TA session) but not from a client.
Consider that the client needs to be permitted to see the server ports and t
he server ports must be visible outside of the box. Here are a few things to
check:
a.. Is the SQL Server Browser service running on the server?
b.. Are the external protocols enabled? (use SQL Server Surface Area Config
tool)
c.. On the client, is the firewall configured to permit access to the ports?
d.. Are you trying to connect to the ports or are you letting the DNS server
resolve the server instance?
e.. How are you trying to connect to the instance? In code? (Let's see the C
onnectionString)
f.. Does the server show up in the list of visible servers in Server Explore
r (Visual Studio)?
g.. Is the little yellow wire connected to the back of the server and does i
t lead (eventually) to the client? ;)

I can connect to all the other servers via Enterprise Manager, so network
issues are taken care of.
I can connect to this server via Remote Admin and Terminal Server so
Security issues are taken care of.
Other DBAs and support personnel can connect to the server via Enterprise
Manager so configuration issues are taken care of.
Hmmm... I don't have a yellow wire... maybe that is the issue... oh
wait... mine is blue... yep it's connected as well.
Remember, I can connect to the other 29 servers via Enterprise Manager, this
is the only one I can not connect to. Other DBAs can connect to this server
as well as the other 29. We are all in the same security groups. I can pin
g
the server by address and name, so network is good.
I try not to put easy stuff on the board, but this one has me stumped.
Oh send me a copy of your book and I will proof read it for you, free of
charge of course. Maybe even promote it in the SQL Classes I teach.

Connection Failed: SQl SErver Error 18456

I am runnig a program through Microsoft Access 2000 that uses SQL server and is run on 8 different machines. It has worked great for months but yesterday this message appeared:

Connection Failed:
SQL State: '28000'
SQL Server Error: 18456
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login Failed for User 'SA'.

And when I try to use Outlook, this message is displayed:

The Microsoft Exchange Server Computer is not available. Either there are network problems or thhe Microsoft Exchange Server is down for mmaintenance.

Obvious problems with the SQL recognition but it seems to be up and running fine.

Any help appreciated.Make sure no change in SA's password and try connecting with other user with ADMIN privileges.
