SCCM Install fails. cannot connect to SQL server. "the network was not found"

Hi,
I'm installing SCCM 2012. i have a 2 server boxes. 1x sccm and 1x dedicated SQL. sccm installation is stuck @ connecting to DB.
SQL server is 2012 with SP2, static 1433 port used.installation account used is already sysadmin, sccm computer account also added into SQL local admins. ports 1433, 4022, 445 are already FW open in between SCCM box and SQL Box?
error pop up" "the network was not found"
Pls advise.

if MS is really doing good job then such things (scCm on remote sql) should be easy for us with proper docs. Cheers!
The docs are "proper". They give you all the technical details needed. They assume however that you know how to translate the stated requirements, like the ports necessary (as documented at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh427328.aspx ), into the environment you are working in. They cannot give you a click by click guide because that would only be applicable to
generic lab environments.
Sorry that that may sound a bit harsh, but it is reality. They simply have no idea what customer networking environments actually look like as the possibilities are simply unbounded. They must rely on the implementer being able to take the core technical
requirements and implement them for the uniqueness of the environment they are working in. In most cases, this is generally straight-forward, but there is a great deal of variety in the real-world.

BPC 7.0 Install error - Cannot connect to SQL server

Hi,
I am in the process of installing BPC 7.0 and encountered the following error after filling the "Advanced settings" details on the server info screen:
*Cannot connect SQL server.
Please check the SQL server connection or check System Admin ID to access the sql server.*
I know that the System Admin ID I provided in the previous (service type accounts) screen is correct. What am I missings? Appreciate the help asap!

BPC installation user has to be SysAdmin into SQl Server.
Also make sure that SQL Server was installed having Windows authentication enable otherwise the connection to SQL Server can not be establish.
Into Application Server (the server where you are trying to install BPC) open Management Studio and see if you can connect to SQL Server.
Are you using special ports or instances fro SQL Server?
Please make sure you are providing all these information into BPC setup.

Critical Error: Cannot Connect to SQL Server. {SQL Server} not found. Timeout expired.

Greetings,
I have been having some issues with various areas in a SharePoint 2013 farm. While working my way through a bazillion errors in the event logs, I have found the following error. It looks to be happening every hour; almost exactly 5 minutes after
every hour.
"Cannot connect to SQL Server. A_PROD_SP01 not found. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below.
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."
I also find, a health analyzer rule that is failing at the same time:
Availability: One or more servers is not responding.
However, there isn't any server listed in the Failing Servers section.
Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Bob

Hi Bob,
For your issue, it can be caused by that the SharePoint database access account might not have the necessary permissions to communicate with the SQL Server. Please grant correct permissions to the database access account:
You must be a member of the Farm Administrators group to perform this task.
Assign the database access account:
On the Central Administration home page, click Security and in the
General Security section click Configure service accounts.
On the Service Accounts page, in the Credential Management section, in the upper drop-down list click the correct Web application pool for your Web application.
In the Select an account for this component drop-down list, click the domain account that you want to associate with this Web application pool, or click
Register new managed account to associate a new domain account with this application pool.
Click OK to save changes.

HT1455 I tried to install windows 7 on my imac but the computer was not booting again what shall I do?

I was installing windows 7 on my imac but the installation was not completed and now I cannot boot what shall I do?

Provided you used BootCamp to do the installation, with your machine off, press and hold down the "Option" key while turning it on. Hold the key down until you get the screen where you can select which OS to boot into. Select OS X (you'll need to physically click the button here... tapping won't work if you have it enabled). Once in OS X, go into System Preferences and Startup Disk. This is where you set the default OS to boot into. Change it to OS X. Relaunch BootCamp Assistant to remove the failed installation of Windows. You can try again if you wish.

Cannot connect to sql server after re installing IIS 6?

I re installed IIS 6, after the restart i couldn't connect to sql server engine nor seeing it when using browse for me, i was trying to install team foundation server, at first it could see that i have an sql server running after re installing IIS it can't

Just type the IP or name of the server (localhost) and try to connect.. SSRS 2005 requires IIS but how does it relate to SQL Server connection?

UDL failed to connect to SQL server

I have been using UDL as the means to connect to SQL server in Windows XP. But after upgraded to Window 7, UDL cannot connect any more. I still can connect to SQL database through the means of ODBC.
UDL itself connects successfully. I know it is something about Windows 7. What is exactly the problem here?

Where is the SQL Server? I assume its on a remote machine?
Did you try using an IP address instead of host name?
In your UDL, you you are using Windows Authentication. Did you happen to install the SQL Server in mixed mode? If so, you could try specifying a known username/password instead of using Windows Authentication.
Turn off your firewall to see if that is the problem.

Cannot connect to SQL Server 2008 Express

I install SQL Server 2008 Express on Windows 7 and make sure SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS) service is running. Then I write a program via Visual C++ & ADO, and try to connect to the local SQL Service instance by using the following SQL connection string:
“Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=(local);Integrated Security=SSPI;”
But the connection fails. I try the same code on a computer with SQL Server 2008 Professional installed and it works without problems.
Please advise. Thanks.

Hi chcw,
Are you got any error message/information while connect to SQL Server express instance faild via VC++ & ADO? If so, please post them for further investigation.
Please also check the windows firewall. Firewall systems help prevent unauthorized access to computer resources. If a firewall is turned on but not correctly configured, attempts to connect to SQL Server might be blocked. For more information, please see:

Login fails when connecting to SQL Server 2008

There were 3 databases and a report server database on sql server 2008 r2. All were renamed. Now, when trying to connect to sql server I am getting a login failed error for default database. I'm guessing because the default db name was changed. How
can I fix this so that I can connect to the db server\instance?
Thanks

Hi ,
According to your description, I do a test in SQL Server 2008R2. If you use windows system admin account to log in the instance via Windows authentication, even if you change all use database name, you can still log in successfully. However, if you create
a SQL Server login name to connect to instance via SQL Server authentication, when you change the default database name, it will
occur the error which just like at follows .
//Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
Login failed for user '***'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider), Error Number: 4064//
I recommend you change the default database any existing database on your server like master via clicking on Option , or you can run following statement for username
to replace your original database name with master.
ALTER LOGIN [login name] WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = master
GO
Thanks,

Cannot connect to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express

I have a database application that connects to the Northwind sample db in MS Access and lets the user perform CRUD operations.
Now I want to add the same for MS SQL Server, however, I have trouble connecting to it using this connection string:
I changed the server properties in SQL Server Management Studio to allow windows and SQL Server authentication, yet, I still get this exception when trying to open the connection:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
I thought it might be because the server is not allowing remote connections and followed this guide to allow remote connections:
http://www.linglom.com/2009/03/28/enable-remote-connection-on-sql-server-2008-express/
But the SQL Server windows service won't start. The Browser works fine, but the server doesn't do anything.
When trying to start it I get this error:
The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details.
The event log says:

However, when starting SQL Server Management Studio, I can normally work with the databases, perform CRUD operations, etc.
I was wondering if it might be a connection string issue.
I'm using this string:
@"Server=lolcalhost;Database=Northwind;User ID=BEN-A350C47E32F;Password=;Trusted_Connection=False;";
I added the Northwind database as data source to the project and the connection string is in the app.config:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="NwindConnectionString" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|\Nwind.mdb" providerName="System.Data.OleDb"/>
</connectionStrings>
using this code to access it:
constringServer = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["NwindConnectionString"].ToString();
but when using this string I get an ArgumentException:
Keyword not supported: 'provider'.
I'd appreciate any help that would let me connect to the server from a program.

Here is an active Sql connection string we use currently from our app.config file:
<connectionStrings>
<clear/>
<add name="ServerConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=SqlBox;Initial Catalog=YourCatalog;User Id=Username; Password=password;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/><br/> </connectionStrings>
here is one for Sql Express:
<add name="LocalConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=MachineName\SqlExpress;Initial Catalog=YourCatalog;Integrated Security= true;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>

I have setup always an availability group listener for sql server on port 1433, have opened the port in firewall , remote connections are enabled in the sql server, but still I am not able to connect to the sqlserver instance with the help
of the availability group listener name.
I get the following error.

Cannot connect to SQL Server databases

All of a sudden I can't connect to SQL server databases from
my local machine. The databases are on a web server. It just
started happening, and I never had a problem with it before. I
can't connect to them in the coldfusion administrator, and I can't
connect to them using ODBC DSN's either. Has anyone ever run into
this before? I didn't change anything in the cf admin, and I
certainly didn't change any logins or passwords in SQL
Server.

I've been experiencing a similar problem. Everything was fine
but I had to reboot CF 8.01.
After the reboot all the datasources are very slow to respond
and we get lots of errors of the form :
Timed out trying to establish connection
A non-SQL error occurred while requesting a connection from
blah
Timed out trying to establish connection
A non-SQL error occurred while requesting a connection from
blah
Everything is working but very slow on database queries. This
happened a couple of months ago when we last
rebooted and then it went away.
Going to have a look for a new JDBC driver from adobe and see
if that helps ....
