SQL 2008 Mirroring error
I am configuring mirroring on two sql 2008 servers. I have a principle server and a standby server with a restored database (in NORECOVERY mode).
When I choose to mirror, and then choose the primary and mirror server...I get the following error. Now, i can connect to both servers, ping each other and with DNS, can telnet to each respective port on 5022 so its not a connectivity issue.

Can it be a user security issue?

Hi rrjean17...yes done all that and still same error. I have no idea why this doesnt work. I am using the wizard to configure the mirror.
try the below one from your command prompt which should open up a blank window
telnet WIN-4DL3VZ7HITK 5022
If blank window is not opened, then you have some network connectivity issues.
Make sure that port 5022 is excluded in windows firewall and give it a try
telnet WIN-4DL3VZ7HITK 5022
If blank window is not opened, then you have some network connectivity issues.
Make sure that port 5022 is excluded in windows firewall and give it a try

Hey yes i have done that and its a blank page...it does not reject the connection.
Do it the reverse way from the other server with the port on which it is listening..

Hey guys thanks for your help but I figured out the problem...it was because I was using the admin account to create the mirror.
I needed to create an AD account with SQL rights and then using that account to run and manage the mirror did the trick.
Thanks anyways
