Configuring SQL 2014 Express for TCP/IP remote access

Hi
I have installed SQL Server 2014 Express on Windows 2008 Server. I have enabled TCP/IP, removed the dynamic port and added fixed port 1433 to TCP/IP properties, added port 1433 to Windows Firewall on server and have restarted SQL Server service. I can access
SQL Server on Windows 2008 Server via Management Studio but not from a Windows 7 client PC. What more do I need to do to access SQL Server 2014 Express remotely?
The other SQL Server instances on the Windows 2008 Server are SBSMONITORING, SOPHOS and MICROSOFT##SSEE.
Thanks
Regards

Hello,
Please enable SQL Server access on the Windows Firewall on the client computer side or disable Windows Firewall on the
client computer.
Enable SQL Server Browser service and start it.
Hope this help.

SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe for SQL 2014 express seems to be incomplete?

Hi,
I have downloaded the executable SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe for SQL 2014 express several times, but every time I run the executable, when it is almost done extracting I get the error: Extraction failed.
When I run the setup.exe in the directory where the extracted files reside, the installation will eventually fail with the error it is missing files (which sounds logical seen the previous error).
So it occurs to me that the "SQL 2014 Express With Tools" executable (SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe) found at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42299 is broken.
Anyone with the same issues or have any idea where I can download the correct executable?
By the way the total size of the separate downloads of the management tools and the sql express version is larger than the download with the tools included:
SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe = 833.2 MB
SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe + SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe = 880.6 MB
For me this confirms my suspicion
Regards,
Erik

Hi,
Based on your description there IS something wrong with the download. Have you actually downloaded it and tried what I am describing, so you can rather base it on experience than just a description?
1. If I need a third party application to successfully extract a self-extracting executable, than to me there is something wrong with the download.
2. the /X makes no sense because I get the same specify location dialogue box if I just run the executable.
Taken all the above into account including the size differences mentioned in my starting post, to me the self extracting executable is still broken/faulty/incomplete.
Hi Erik,
Actually, I have done a test, firstly downloaded the SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe file from the same website:http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42299, and extracted it from the command prompt, and then I installed the SQL 2014 Express on my computer
successfully.
Since your self-extracting executable is still incomplete.I recommend you to check if there is an anti-virus software or other third-party software on your computer blocking the process of downloading, also you can try to download the SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe
file from a different browser, and check if you can implement the extraction successfully.
In addition,this issue might also be caused by your Internet Service Providers (ISP). In order to enhance the network performance, some ISPs may deploy cache servers, when you download the SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe file from Microsoft official website, it
will redirect your installation media file to the local cache server, and it might cause the download file to be broken, then you encounter the error when extracting file. I recommend you to contact to your ISP to solve the problem, then download again
and check if it can extract successfully .

Migration of the database from Microsoft SQL 2014 Express to Microsoft SQL 2012 Server

I posted a similar thread yesterday, and I realized that there was a serious typo.
Link: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/b3e201ea-6c7c-43a4-8908-842b714ea451/migration-of-the-database-from-microsoft-sql-2014-express-to-microsoft-sql-2012-server?forum=sqlservermigration
Therefore, I made a decision to post another thread right now.
I am
writing to ask if there are any known issues when migration from MS SQL 2014 Express to MS SQL 2012 Server version. Are there any step-by-step instruction on how I can go about doing this?
Looking forward to your response. Thank you for your time.

Jeff Yoo

Hello,
SQL Server 2012 setup program won’t allow you to perform a downgrade from SQL Server 2014 Express Edition. Backup/Restore
and Detach/Attach won’t help you either.
One option you have left is using SQL Server Import/Export Wizard as explained on the following article.

Will the Apple Digital AV adapter work for the DISH Remote Access app?

I have a Sling adapter hooked up to my 722K DISH receiver, and the DISH Remote Access app installed on an iPad 2. Great app, btw.
What I'd like to know is if I'll be able to use this AV adapter to watch my recorded shows on a TV. Hotel room situation, and I would just like a larger screen every once in a while.
So far, my understanding doing some searches here is that the adapter will work for Netflix, but won't for HBO GO (bummer).
Since I'll be phasing out Netflix soon anyway, and this adapter isn't going to work for HBO GO content, I am just wondering if it will for the Dish Remote Access app before I bother to buy one.
If not, is there something that would be a better choice? I did look at the component and composite cables too, but couldn't quite make up my mind.
Thanks for any input.

iphone4 dont support mirror so only apps which support the normal tvout will work on iphone4 witht he hdmi out setup

How do you allow SQL Server 2014 Express for remote connection and in firewall?

I'm sorry if this was answered here before.
I installed SQL Server 2014 Express and it is working perfectly. I want my server to be accessed through LAN. It is a named instance.
I searched the internet and here's what i did:
1. Through the SQL Configuration manager, I enabled all the Protocols of my Instance (TCP/IP, Named Pipes and Shared Memory). I changed in the IP Addresses the "IP ALL" TCP Dynamic Ports to 1434.
2. In the Firewall I made an Inbound Rule to allow the Program (%ProgramFiles% (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.MyInstance\MSSQL\Binn\sqlservr.exe)
3. I also made 2 Inbound Rules to allow (TCP/IP Port 1433) and (UDP Port 1434).
4. Restarted my instance. SQL Server Browser and SQL Server Reporting Services are also running.
5. No Luck I cant still access the server using a different computer in the network.
Please help.

Hello,
In Express Edition by default remote connections are disabled, you have to enable it first:
Configure the remote access Server Configuration Option
It's always a two way communication, so you have to create also outbound rules, not only inbound, and this on server as well as on client side; see

Version of SQL Server Express for a Secondary Site in Configuration Manager 2012 R2

Hi,
I want to install a secondary site in my Configuration Manager 2012 R2. I want to install the SQL Server Express in a diferente drive. To do so, I want to previous install the SQL Server Express.
Can I use the SQL Server 2014 Express?
Thanks in advance...
Dmsousa

Sorry, going to be blunt here, but this is why "best practices" are useless. If you don't know the "why" of the best practice and when to apply it, it will cause you to do things that simply aren't necessary (or even harmful) by
blindly trying to apply them. It is simply is not necessary for secondary sites for perf or any other reason. Also, if this is a VM, then your virtual disks will most likely be on the same physical disks which means you do *not* in any way gain any perf benefits
anyway (perf benefits come from have additional physical spindles -- logical separation is just that *logical*).
You have far bigger challenges ahead of you, push the easy button on this one, let ConfigMgr deploy SQL Express for you and move on.

Finally! T-SQL Reference for SQL 2014 available for download!

With a mere delay of four month since the release, it is now possible to download the T-SQL Reference for SQL 2014 for your local copy of Books Online. Due to some reorganisations of the reference material on MSDN, the language reference was misisng from
the initial download.
To get the reference, you need to use Manage Help Settings, which you find the SQL 2014 program group. Select the option "Install content from online". Once all information has been loaded, scroll down to the SQL Server 2014 group and you will
SQL Server Language Reference with an Add option, which you should select.
Now, SQL 2014 uses Help Viewer 1.0, which is very poor, and versions 2.0 and 2.1 which ships with VS 2012/2013 is much more pleasant to use. Thanks to SQL Server MVP Simon Sabin, you can get the SQL 2014 into Help Viewer 2.x in this way. Go to
https://helpviewerredirector.codeplex.com/
save the file to a directory. Open a command prompt in that directory and run "HelpViewerRedirector download". Then in Help View, go to manage settings, and select install content from disk. Browse to the folder and select the files you want to see
in Help Viewer 2.1.

SQL 2014 Express deinstallation fail

Hi,
i have SQL Express 2014 installed with two instances and later SQL Express 2012 with one instances.
I want to uninstal SQL Express 2014 but the process fails because it says the system requirements are to low. All instances are disabled.
best regards

It can be extremely hard or impossible to completely remove the setup of SS 2014 express. What we can do is, to restore the OS to its previous state or reinstall the OS instead.
Many Thanks & Best Regards, Hua Min
Totally irrelevant answer HuMmin You cannot ask somebody to format OS just because he is facing issue in removing SQL Server 2014. Its very much possible to remove any SQL server version.
It could always work by the nature that you are installing fresh system but how think of time it would require and if server is prod are you willing to take that risk.
Mondieu,
Please follow suggesstion to remove SQL server mentioned in below link,see solution section.

Attaching mdf database to SQL 2014 Express

Good day everyone,
I copied a *.mdf file to c:\program files\Microsoft sqlServer\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA
I then attached the database. When I attempted to open the database in management studio I received the following permissions error:Failed to retrieve data for this request. Additional information: Unable to open the physical file "same directory
path specified as above". Operating system error5 (access is denied.)" Microsoft SQL Server, Error:5120)
I then copied the *.mdf file to the same directory path above but one that had ..\\MSSQL11.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA and received the same results. : (
Any ideas?

Is this the log file you need? Thanks for responding.

SQL 2014 Express on windows 7 professional (x86)

Hi all,
Thanks in advance for all reply's, My question is it possible to install SQL2014 Express edition in here:-
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/dn434042.aspx (Express with Tools (SQLEXPRWT))
on a machine running Windows 7 Profesional sp1 (2GB RAM)
According to:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx
it look like it can be.
But I ran into problem when I try to install. this Message came after i first attempt to "install without" internet since the machine a "desktop" and "router" in another room. I attempted to repair with no success/
remove no success. finally re-install windows then try again but all in vein. even after getting online.
Message:
"The operating system on this computer or its service pack level does not meet the minimum requirments for SQL Server 2014"
Hint may be the second attempt of windows installation i could not get to point of installing sp1 even tough it was in update list i wanted to update. but after several attempts eventually machine gave in[broken]
on my laptop with windows ultimate the same software works [along with 2008r2]

Hi
Ok yes I did read this article rather late. My machine is working now. and I installed another fresh copy of windows.
This time I made sure that I use different "machine name" all this time I used same machine name I used in on first time.[not sure how this did help but I remember how Teamviewer works]
Ok let me tell the order of what happened:
1. I did have SP1 instaled on the machine
2. I did have .Net Framework 4.0 intalled (these are routine work even if you install sql 2008 or vs)
3. However I did not have internet
4. So when the setup started it gave an an error indicating about offline status
5. I ignored and continued
6. The set up continued normal but then abruptly crashed or did not set up successfully.
7. after that Repair/Remove or re-install
all gave this message(even when machine had sp1 there and framework 4.0 installed)
"The
operating system on this computer or its service pack level does not meet the minimum requirments for SQL Server 2014"
8.
This continued even after re-installing os after unsuccessful in installing sp1( same machine name )9. but today I was successfully installed.
My conclusion is( on fresh copy of win 7 pro ) all you need is:
1. internet
2. program feature on of tic .Net framework 3.5(just include since i cam across it...)
3. install sp1
4. install framework 4.0
I included all this detail because it sort of confuse you since the message same but ...
"helpful if it helped so that other forum members can benefit from it"
So in my case internet problem was the issue.

Need help setting up for wireless printing- remote access- by email

When trying to set up my printer I get a box that says "Printers Code", is the "printer code" another word for hardware address or is it the access point hw address or what is it? I wish the HP people would stick to the same nomenclature in their set up!

Hi,
Printer code is a code for your printer which allows you to register to ePrint center. From there you can get printer email address and you can email to this email address for printer to print. Not all printers have printer code. You can read more information from the following link:
