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!

Can't Connect 2005 SQL Server Express

Asked by p912s in MS SQL Server

Tags: , , , ,

SQL Server installed for testing on WinXP Home SP2 and IE7.

Workstation running WinXP Pro SP2 with IE7 and Office 2003 SP2 produced this error when trying to run the Upsizing Utility in Access.

  Connection Failed
  SQLSttate '01000'
  SQL Server Error: 2
  [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]ConnectionOpen(Connect()).
  Connection failed
  SQLState" '08001'
  SQL Server Error: 17
  [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

Found this article - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;914277 which didn’t help. Still produced the same error.


Tried a different workstation running Win98 and IE6 with Office 2000 SP3 and the error was similar but ended like this:

  Login failed for user 'username'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.

Which led me to this article - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555332

Now on either workstation I get the same error.

  Connection Failed
  SQLSttate ‘28000’
  SQL Server Error: 18456
  [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user ‘admin’.

I’ve tried every valid administrator account on the server computer and get the same error.


Then I tried the following commands from a cmd prompt on the server itself

  sqlcmd -e -s i2400\sqlexpress

  sqlcmd -e -s 192.168.111.11\sqlexpress

And get these results:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn>sqlcmd -e -s i2400\sqlexpress
HResult 0x2, Level 16, State 1
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : 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..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn>sqlcmd -e -s 192.168.111.11\sqlexpress
HResult 0x2, Level 16, State 1
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : 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..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.


Desperate for help! The server is needed to test a couple of Crystal Reports – reports and an Access Front-end.

Now that I am all the way down here I’m wondering about IE7 on the server computer…

Oh, and I should mention that my SQL Sevrer knowledge is slim to none!

Ideas anybody?

Thanks

Scot
