SQL Server Browser

I am installing SQL Server 2012. 
At the "Server Configuration" point, "SQL Server Browser" greyed out, and set to "NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE"
Will I be able to amend the SQL Server Browser to use an different account after install ? 
(using Sql Server Config Manager for example ?)
Thanks in advance
Pete

Yes any time you can configure...
Default Account
Setup configures SQL Server Browser to use the account selected for services during setup. Other possible accounts include the following:
Any domain\local account
The local service account
The local system account (not recommended as has unnecessary privileges)

  • Unable to start SQL Server Browser service in Sql server 2005

    we are unable to start the SQL browser service on one of our machine with below error.
    I believe this to be the reason, why we could not connect to the instance with below error
    I tried troubleshooting as mentioned here, by changing
    value in registry from 1 to 0, but still no luck.
    SQLservices are also running.
    Please help on how to resolve this!

    Hello,
    You say that SQL Server Browser Service belongs to a SQL Server 2005, but based on the name of the instance is a SQL Server
    2012 instance.
    Do you have any issues installing/uninstalling SQL Server 2005 or 2012? One of them 32-bit and the other 64-bit?
    Hope this helps.

  • SQL Server Browser service group does not exists. Check for earlier failures in the setup. during sql express 2008 R2 setup

    Hello,
    I have an issue while installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. When I was installing SQL Server, I occurred an error message as shown in the figure.
    I have followed couple of links as in
    this and
    this links but it did not fix the issue. Can anyone help me on this issue?
    Regards
    Gaurav

    Hi gauravroondhe2306,
    According to your description, you fail to install SQL Server 2008 R2 express with the error that SQL Server Browser service group does not exist. Please help to post SQL Server setup error log for analysis. By default, SQL Server setup summary and detail
    logs are located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
    Based on my research, this issue could occur when you install SQL Server on a Domain Controller, or the machine's name has been changed and the browser service group is named with the original machine's name.
    To troubleshoot the issue, you could follow the solutions below.
    1.Use SQL Server 2008 R2 Best Practice Analyzer to detect if SQL Server is installed on a domain controller. If SQL Server is installed on a domain controller, please demote your machine from being a domain controller and install the SQL Server again since
    it is not recommended to install SQL Server on a domain controller.
    2.Check if the name of local user group matches the machine's current name. If it doesn't match, please change the name of the local user group accordingly, and install SQL Server again. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:

  • SQL Server browser services.

    we have two instance of sql server 2014,  
    In Services,  It shows only one SQL Server browser services.  
    Is it true there is  only one SQL Browser service for both instances.
    Thanks
    V

    Yes, This is normal. 
    Prior to SQL Server 2000, only one instance of SQL Server could be installed on a computer. SQL Server listened for incoming requests on port 1433, assigned to SQL Server by the official Internet
    Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). Only one instance of SQL Server can use a port, so when SQL Server 2000 introduced support for multiple instances of SQL Server, SQL Server Resolution Protocol (SSRP) was developed to listen on UDP port 1434. This listener
    service responded to client requests with the names of the installed instances, and the ports or named pipes used by the instance. To resolve limitations of the SSRP system, SQL Server 2005 introduced the SQL Server Browser service as a replacement for SSRP.

  • Including AlwaysOn Listeners in a SQL Server Browser list box

    I am using the SmoApplication.EnumAvailableSqlServers class/method to enumerate SQL Servers on my network to allow my users to select a SQL Server from a list of the available servers on the network.
    My issue is that AlwaysOn Availability Groups (listeners) are not included in this list.  I understand how it would be difficult for the EnumAvailableSqlServers method to find them (AO listeners have non-standard port numbers), but are there
    any alternatives other than having users type in everything by hand (very error-prone and is a bit, let's say, user-belligerent)?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Hi Rob,

    Just to make this issue clearly, whether this issue is related to the SQL Server?
    Actually this forum is to discuss:
    Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
    Sorry for that I didn't find the information which is related to the VS, so it would be better if you could share us more information about this issue, but if it is the SQL Server issue, please select the forum here:

  • Cannot Connect to SQLServer 2014, Cannot start SQL Server Browser

    I have SQLServer 2014 Developer Installed I am trying to connect to it from a .aspx page. I get error 26 "server was not found or was not accessible............".  Thus is all being done on a local machine using IIS 8.5.
     <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=DONSR\sqlserverexpress;Trusted_Connection=False;database=PLF;UID=sa;PWD=cool4309" />
    In the SGL 2014 configuration module. Everything is enabled including TCP/IP,  EXCEPT  the SQL Browser. When I try to enable it I get "This service cannot be stated, either, because it is disabledor
    because it has no enable devices with it [ox80070422]"

    Hello,
    You said that you are trying to connect from an ASPX page. which I assume it is hosted on a remote server (not on the sql box)
    There are two possible problems
    1 - TCP/IP disabled 
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191294.aspx
    2 - Windows firewall on the SQL box blocking TCP Port 1433 (I believe this is what is happening to you)
    To confirm if this is the case, from a remote computer try to connect using Telnet to the port 1433
    TELNET SQL_SERVER_NAME 1433
    If this is the case you have to configure windows firewall to allow incoming connections to this port

  • How to Configure Remote Connections To SQL Server 2008 R2 Express

    Post written June 10, 2010 and pertains to:
    SQL Server 2008 R2 Express on both my server and local machines: SQLX_SRV,
    SQLX_LOC
    SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio on both my server and local machines:
    MS_SRV, MS_LOC
    Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise installed on a Hyper-V VPS: WS
    SQL Server Configuration Manager on both my server and local machines:
    CMGR_SRV, CMGR_LOC
    Server Manager: SMGR
    I am connecting to my hosting server via Remote Desktop Connection: RDC
    I installed SQLX_SRV and MS_SRV on my hosting server and SQLX_LOC and MS_LOC on my local development machine.  I am able to use MS_LOC to connect to SQLX_LOC and to use MS_SRV to connect to SQLX_SRV.  However I am not able to use MS_LOC to connect
    with SQLX_SRV.  Here's what I have done so far:
    SMGR -> Configuration -> Windows Firewall to turn off the Windows Firewall for Domain, Private and Public profiles.  Obviously I'll change this later, but until I can connect I want to remove as many variables as possible.
    CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Services to confirm that both SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) and SQL Server Browser services were running.
    CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols for SQLEXPRESS to ENABLE the Shared Memory, Named Pipes, and TCP/IP protocols and DISABLE the deprecated VIA protocol.
    CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols for SQLEXPRESS -> double click TCP/IP to open the TCP/IP properties dialogue.  On the Protocol tab Enabled: Yes, Keep Alive: 30000, changed Listen All to No.  I've tried it both
    ways, but I've got six IP addresses on my server and I wanted to configure SQLEXPRESS to listen to only the first and primary IP.  On the IP Addresses tab went to IPALL and cleared the TCP Dynamic Ports field and entered 1433 in the TCP Port field. 
    For my first and primary IP Address I made sure that Enabled was Yes, I cleared the TCP Dynamic Ports field, and entered 1433 in the TCP Port field.  For all other IP Addresses Enabled was set to No and I cleared both the TCP Dynamic Ports and TCP Port
    fields.
    CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Services -> SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) right click and Restart.  This of course stopped and restarted my instance of SQLX_SRV enabling the TCP/IP configuration in the previous step to take effect.
    On my server, SQLX_SRV is the only instance of SQL Server running and so it's easy to hard wire it to the default port 1433.
    The instance name for both SQLX_SRV and SQLX_LOC is the default "SQLEXPRESS".  My server machine name is "SERVER1" on the EnglishBrains.com domain.  So the proper local name (local within the context of my remote server as connected via RDC) for
    my instance of SQLX_SRV would be:
    SERVER1\SQLEXPRESS 
    Note the use of a backslash NOT a forward slash. 
    Of course to connect remotely from my development machine, which is not on the same domain as my hosting server, I would need to specify the domain as well, so the SQL Server name becomes:
    SERVER1.EnglishBrains.com\SQLEXPRESS
    I must also use SQL Server Authentication.  Before I can use such a remote connection, however, there are still several configuration steps required.  So on my server (connected via RDC) I used MS_SRV to connect to SQLX_SRV using SERVER1\SQLEXPRESS
    for the server name and Windows Authentication.  Once connected I performed the following steps:
    MS_SRV -> right click the connected parent SERVER1\SQLEXPRESS instance node at the top -> Properties -> Security -> Server authentication: select "SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode".  This will enable connections using either type
    of authentication.
    Next, leaving the Server Properties dialogue open, Connections -> check "Allow remote connections to this server" box.
    Click OK to save these changes and close the Server Properties dialogue.
    MS_SRV -> Security -> right click Logins and select "New Login...", the Login - New dialogue opens.
    On the General page Enter a name for your new login
    Select SQL Server Authorization
    Enter and confirm a password
    Uncheck Enforce password expiration
    Select the default Database and Language
    On the ServerRoles page Public will be checked, also check SysAdmin.  This is probably not a good idea and I'll uncheck this as soon as I can connect to the SQLX_SRV.
    On the User Mapping page select the databases you want your new Login to access and enter the Default Schema of "dbo".
    At the bottom of the User Mapping page you'll see the Database Roles table.  Public will be selected by default.  Also select db_Owner.  Again this is probably not a good idea, and I'll refine this once I can connect.
    On the Status page confirm that "Grant" is checked under "Permission to connect to database engine" and "Enable" is checked under "Login".
    Click OK to save all changes and close the Login - New dialogue.
    With these steps completed you should now be able to use MS_SRV to connect to SQLX_SRV using SQL Server Authentication by supplying the name and password for your new Login.  I tried this and it worked fine.  Next I tried to use this same login
    remotely, that is I went to my local development machine and used MS_LOC to try and connect to SQLX_SRV by using
    SERVER1.EnglishBrains.com\SQLEXPRESS
    and opting for SQL Server Authentication and supplying the name and password of my new login.
    THIS DID NOT WORK??  Instead I get the following error message:
    Cannot connect to SERVER1.EnglishBrains.com\SQLEXPRESS.
    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:

    For help, click:
    http://www.microsoft.com/products/ee/transform.aspx?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=-1
    If you follow the suggested help link, you are told:
    The SQL Server client cannot connect to the server.  This error could be caused by one of the following reasons:
    A specified SQL Server instance name is not valid.
    The TCP, or named pipes protocols are not enabled.
    The firewall on the server has refused the connection.
    The SQL Server Browser service (sqlbrowser) is not started.
    WRONG on all 4 counts!  The instance name IS valid.  Both TCP/IP and Named Pipes protocols are enabled.  The firewall has been shut down, so it is not relevant.  Finally the SQL Server Browser IS started.
    The next thing I tried was to circumvent discovery by the SQL Browser service by using the following syntax to specify the IP address and port directly when specifying the SQL Server name.
    tcp:68.71.134.186,1433
    Using this in the Server Name field I was able to use MS_SRV to successfully connect to SQLX_SRV (using SQL Server Authentication of course) with or without the SQL Browser service running. 
    However when I tried to connect from MS_LOC to SQLX_SRV using this same login (WITH SQL Browser service running just for good measure) it does not work??  I get the following error message:
    Cannot connect to tcp:68.71.134.186,1433.
    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:
    TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10060)
    For help, click:
    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=10060&LinkId=20476
    If you follow the help link you are told:
    "The SQL Server client cannot connect to the server. This error could occur because either the firewall on the server has refused the connection or the server is not configured to accept remote connections."
    However, the firewall has been shut down and the server HAS been configured to accept remote connections! 
    I confirmed that i could indeed Ping to 68.71.134.186  and running NetStat -a |find /i "listening" on the server shows that the server is indeed listening at 68.71.134.186 Port 1433 -- which is why I was able to connect to SQLX_SRV using MS_SRV with
    tcp:68.71.134.186,1433 .
    IN SUMMARY: Even though I can connect to my SQLEXPRESS instance multiple ways from the server itself, I cannot connect remotely from my development machine! 
    If anyone can help me figure out why I would be very, very grateful!

    My two cents to help you out on c# code example to configure the remote sql server express.
    Hope it helps. It works, but you have to be extra carefull to read it all and setup the server configuration and netsh commands; also the port fowarding on the router.
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Data.SqlClient;

    class Program
    static void Main(string[] args)
    // this is the local sql server connection
    // 192.168.1.101\SQLEXPRESS
    // now, the configuration for remote access:
    // activate SQL SERVER BROWSER - set it to start "automatic"; then START UP
    // SQL Server Configuration Manager
    // --> SQL SERVER BROWSER -> properties -> Service -> Start Mode -> automatic -> apply
    // --> Log On -> Start -> Ok
                // netsh firewall set portopening protocol = TCP port = 1433 name = SQLPort mode = ENABLE scope = all profile = CURRENT
                // netsh firewall set portopening protocol = UDP port = 1434 name = SQLPort mode = ENABLE scope = all profile = CURRENT
                // netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name = SQLPort dir = in protocol = tcp action = allow localport = 1433 remoteip = any profile = PUBLIC
                // netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name = SQLPort dir = in protocol = udp action = allow localport = 1434 remoteip = any profile = PUBLIC
    // VERY IMPORTANT FOR REMOTE ACCESS: you have to add the rules on port fowarding
    // on the router!!!
    // TCP: 1433
    // UDP: 1434
    // or just a personal port like TCP 31433/UDP 31434
    // read carefully the netsh commands above
    // server name: 123.132.24.177\SQLEXPRESS
    // server name: anyurl.myftp.org\SQLEXPRESS,1433 <<-- regular port
    // server name: anyurl.myftp.org\SQLEXPRESS
    // server name: anyurl.myftp.org\SQLEXPRESS,31433 <<-- WOW different PORT here!!!

  • Sql Server 2012 Login Failed for user "NT Authority\System"

    I have installed SQL Server on a new server. I have been getting the following error on each of the database in it.

    Help please?

    Hi,
    The error was thrown when the SCOM components connected to the backend SCOM databases.
     You can specify a domain account, grant it the sysadmin role and the error should be gone.
    Also, see the replies in your previous thread:

    1. Make sure SQL Server Service is running
    2. If a named instance, make sure SQL Server browser service is running
    3. Make sure SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections
    4. Examine the SQL Server error log for messages confirming that SQL is listening on the expected network interfaces and ports
    5. Test server connectivity with PING from the client machine
    6. Test port connectivity using TELNET or PowerShell to the server and port (from step 4) from the client machine.  For example
    a. TELNET <server-name> 1433
    b. PowerShell: 1433 | % { echo ((new-object Net.Sockets.TcpClient).Connect("YourServerName",$_)) "server listening on TCP port $_" }
    7. Check firewall settings if step 5 or 6 connectivity test fails

    Hello,
    Try to download the SQL Server media again. Uninstall any component installed and reinstall SQL Server again.
    Please make sure you are running SQL Server setup with Run as Administrator option.
    Download Process Monitor and run it to make sure there are no access denied errors accessing the Registry.

  • SQL Server 2008 Installation on Windows 7

    I tried to install SQL Server 2008 on a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (Enterprise Edition Trial Edition). The system check was ok and the installation started successfully but at the end there were some errors. In the logfile there were stacktraces describing failures trying write operations on the registry. What can I do to install SQL Server 2008 on my operating system?

    Hello ChunSong Feng,
    thanks for your advice. Herewith I send you the text parts from detail.txt with the detailed error description. The whole file is too big to send as content.
    Thanks in advance:

    Help,
    setup a new sql server 2012 on a windows 2012r2 server to replace old sql server 2005 on an old windows server 2003 machine.  When i test the ODBC connection locally on the server it works fine, however when i try to connect via windows 7 client machine
    i get the following error:
    Connection failed:
    SQLState:'01000'
    SQL Server Error:67
    [Microsoft]ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen
    (Connect()).
    Connection failed:
    SQLState:'08001'
    SQL Server Error:17
    [Microsoft]ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied
    I think it must be a permissions thing, I've turned off the firewall for now and still no difference, 've also made sure remote connection is enabled.  I can connect to the other sql server in studio manager on the new machine however, i can't go do
    the same in the old server, says:
    cannot connect to hbfsqlpro1\hbfsqlpro1
    Additonal information a network related or instance specifc error occured while establising 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:SQL Network Interfaces, error 26 - error locationg server/instance specified) (Microsoft SQL server)
    the instance is def correct, as that is what i use to connect locally on the new machine and what it comes up on the studio manager on the new machine.  STarting to pull my hair out somewhat, i'm sure it's something really simple! 

    Hello,
    You are trying to connect to a named instance. Make sure the SQL Server Browser service is started on the SQL Server computer.
    Make sure TCP/IP is enabled.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191294(v=sql.110).aspx
    Try to disable Windows Firewall or security software on both, SQL Server instance and client computer.
    Test basic connectivity too. Try to ping from the client computer to the SQL Server computer.
    Hope this helps.

    Thanks Shanky, that fixed my issue.  I reinstalled, specifying NT AUTHORITY\LOCALSYSTEM for the SQL Server Database Engine account.  After the successful installation, I used Sql Server Configuration Manager to change the account to LocalService
    (NT AUTHORITY\LocalService).  The Database Engine is restarting OK.
    So, my accounts are:
    SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER):  NT AUTHORITY\LocalService
    SQL Full-text Fiter Daemon Launcher (MSSQLSERVER):  NT Service\MSSQLFDLauncher
    SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER):  NT Service\ReportServer
    SQL Server Browser:  NT AUTHORITY\LOCALSERVICE
    SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER):  NT AUTHORITY\NETWORKSERVICE
    I check out the link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx#Serv_Perm.  I'm a bit confused how the NT Service\* accounts are created, such as NT Service\MSSQLSERVER.  However, I did see this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191153.aspx#manual;
    perhaps I need to read it further.
    Regardless, this is my desktop machine, the installation is for development only, it's inside our network, and no external users will be accessing this SQL Server instance.  So, while I haven't fully read the details on running under LocalService, I
    believe this will meet my needs.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • SCOM 2012 R2 installtion wizard not able to contact SQL server cluster

    Hi,
    This is about the error faced while installing SCOM 2012 R2.
    My customer has SQL 2012 SP1 cluster installed. I am trying to install the SCOM 2012 R2 with this installed SQL cluster. The SQL cluster is installed with default instance and with AAG (Always on Availability Group).
    The edition of SQL server is, SQL Server Enterprise edition with SP1
    After check services on both the SQL nodes found that SQL Full text is not installed (as the related SQL Full text service not present in the services.msc) on any of the SQL cluster node & SQL Browser service is not running.
    The running services for SQL are, SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) & SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER).
    When I started to install the SCOM 2012 R2, Within a SCOM 2012 wizard, On the Configure the Operational Database screen, entered only the name of SQL cluster & no instance as it is with default instance MSSQLSERVER.
    I faced error as, This SQL Server could not be found.
    After installed SQL full text, the service is showing in services.msc as "SQL Full-text Filter Daemon Launcher (MSSQLSERVER)".
    Now when I started to install the SCOM 2012 R2, Within a SCOM 2012 wizard, On the Configure the Operational Database screen, entered only the name of SQL cluster & no instance as it is with default instance MSSQLSERVER.
    I faced error as, The installed version of SQL Server could not be verified or is not supported. 
    Followings test carried out for the connectivity between SCOM 2012 MS &SQL Cluster
    Ping SQL Cluster successfully
    Telnet SQL Cluster for port 1433 successfully
    Tracert SQL Cluster – completed successfully with single hops.
    The windows firewall is off on both sides
    The SQL services running on the Active node 1 of the cluster are as follows:
    SQL Full Text Filter Daemon Launcher (MSSQLSERVER) -- Running & Manual
    SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) -- Running & Automatic
    SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) -- Running & Automatic
    SQL serve Browser - Stopped & Manual
    SQL Server VSS Writer -- Running & Automatic
     The SQL services running on the Passive node 2 of the cluster are as follows:
    SQL Full Text Filter Daemon Launcher (MSSQLSERVER) -- Running & Manual
    SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) -- Running & Automatic
    SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) -- Stopped & Automatic
    SQL serve Browser - Stopped & Manual
    SQL Server VSS Writer -- Running & Automatic
    The SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) service is not running on the second node. It is running only on first node which is active.
    The account used to install SCOM has the local admin privilege on the SQL server
    To ping the cluster use the cluster name & it solved the whole FQDN of cluster in ping result. When ping with IP address with -a it not resolve to name.
    Is any one can provide their valuable inputs.
    Regards,
    SandeepK

    Hi SandeepK,
    Before Installing Operations Manager on an availability group, please
    1. Make sure to use the Group listener Name and port when installing Operations Manager for the databases that are going to be added to the availability databases.
    2. The first management server will use the Group listener to get the primary SQL instance, and will install the databases on that instance.
