A blast from the past: SQL Server Enterprise Manager 6.5 access issue
It's time to update sql server. But I can't access the databases on this instance of sql server 6.5. See image for error. Notice there is a green light, but when I try to expand, I get the error. Interestingly, the legacy program that is associated with the databases on this instance runs just fine. Any ideas how I can get to the data via enterprise manager?
if this is on server 2008 or newer right click and run as administrator.
Are you working in the server where the SQL Server is installed?
If so, check if the SQL Server service is up and running.

- It's running on Windows 2000.
- Netlogon is not running. When I try to start it barks at me and says to check the Event log. There is absolutely nothing there.
- I did stop and restart the service. Made no difference.
Check in the server when and what hotfixes were last installed. Might one of them be the culprit?

I tried the suggestions but kept getting the same erros. Ultimately, out of desperation, I just ended up grabbing the data via an old query tool that did not bark at me. It was really time consuming, it's not the solution I was hoping for.
2. Check the Default Protocol...It probably should be TCP/IP
3. Finally, stop and restart the services by using SQL Server Manager.
See if that helps.
