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!

SQL Server 2005: Unable to start SQL Server Browser service

Asked by SuperMario in MS SQL Server

Tags: service, sqlbrowser, port, unable, sql

So I have been up and down this issue for the past couple of days and was wondering if there is a more obvious explanation to my problem.

Environment: Windows Server 2003 SP1, SQL Server 2005, SharePoint V2 installed as well.

All other SQL services run well, this includes analysis, reporting, etc. But I cannot start the SQL Browser service - it starts and immediately stops. It poops out two rather unhelpful messages into the event log, which I will post below.

Error 1:
====================================================
Event Type:      Error
Event Source:      SQLBrowser
Event Category:      None
Event ID:      7
Date:            8/16/2006
Time:            9:56:30 AM
User:            N/A
Computer:      DWSANDBOX
Description:
The SQLBrowser service port is unavailable for listening, or invalid.

Error 2:
====================================================

Event Type:      Error
Event Source:      SQLBrowser
Event Category:      None
Event ID:      10

User:            N/A

Description:
The SQLBrowser service was unable to establish SQL instance and connectivity discovery.

Stuff I have tried already:
I used PortQryV2 to ensure that the TCP port used by SQL Browser wasn't already being listened on (1433 - Returned "Not Listening").
I checked firewall settings - Windows Firewall is disabled.
I used PortQryV2 to ensure the UDP port (1434) used by SQL Browser wasn't already being listened on.
I have reinstalled SQL server from scratch.

I hope someone has an easy answer to this. It is the last step on the road to Team Foundation Server!!

Thanks,
-SM
