The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

MSDE connectivity issues (Specified SQL Server not found) / (SQL Server does not exist or access denied)

Asked by matchbx27 in MS SQL Server

Tags: server, sql, msde, does, found

I am having some connectivity issues with a new install of MSDE Service Release A.  The Server has all updates from Microsoft as well as MDAC 2.8.

First I installed a named Instance of MSDE (Instance1).  After installing and rebooting the server I attempted to register the instance using Enterprise Manager on my development workstation.  I received the error message "SQL Server does not exist or access denied".  

Also after rebooting the Server I did not have a green arrow inside the White circle of the Server Manager app running in the sys tray.  If I opened Server Manager the named instance did not appear in the drop-down box.  If I manually typed in the \\servername\instancename, Server Manager would update and display that the instance was up and running.  However after a reboot it would revert back to showing no service running.

After several attempts to comminucate with the named instance of SQL Server on the Server, I installed a default instance of SQL Server.

Now when the server is rebooted Server Manager does display the default instance running, but still does not show the named instance in the drop-down box (I have to type it in manually).

I still can not register either the named or default instance on my workstation using Enterprise Manager.  I also tried to create an ODBC connection to both the default and named instance to no avail.

However ODBC connections on the Server will commincuate with both instances (named and default).

I have seen several posts on the web refering to Server Utilities and Client Utilities but with very little information on how to use these tools.  If these tools are needed to resolve the issue please include information (or link to information) on how to use them.

thanks,
matchbx.
