SQL Server Remote Allow Connections

Hi All
I am trying to connect to a remote server which has SQL Server Express on it.
I am unable to connect to the SQL Server. I have Management Studio Express installed on my local machine... when I goto File > Connect Object Explorer then it asks me for the Server Name: What do i type here if a remote one i.e. an IP address followed
by the port? If yes then how do i find the correct IP address for the SQL Server Express on the remote server and what is the correct syntax for it?
Many Thanks

Is it a named instance ?
If No, try just the servername while login thru SSMS
If Yes, try Servername/instancename
Here is the way to find the instance name

  • What version of SQL Server support ssl connection with TLS. 1.2 (SHA-256 HASH)

    Hi,
    I just want to know,
    What version of SQL Server support ssl connection with TLS. 1.2 (SHA-256 HASH).
    if support already,
    how can i setting.
    plz.  help me!!! 

    The following blog states that SQL Server "leverages the SChannel layer (the SSL/TLS layer provided
    by Windows) for facilitating encryption.  Furthermore, SQL Server will completely rely upon SChannel to determine the best encryption cipher suite to use." meaning that the version of SQL Server you are running has no bearing on which
    encryption method is used to encrypt connections between SQL Server and clients.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sql_protocols/archive/2007/06/30/ssl-cipher-suites-used-with-sql-server.aspx
    So the question then becomes which versions of Windows Server support TLS 1.2.  The following article indicates that Windows Server 2008 R2 and beyond support TLS 1.2.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kaushal/archive/2011/10/02/support-for-ssl-tls-protocols-on-windows.aspx
    So if you are running SQL Server on Windows Server 2008 R2 or later you should be able to enable TLS 1.2 and install a TLS 1.2 certificate.  By following the instructions in the following article you should then be able to enable TLS 1.2 encryption
    for connections between SQL Server and your clients:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316898
    I hope that helps.

    Hello,
    SQL Server TCP/IP protocol is a common protocol widely used over the Internet. It communicates across interconnected networks of computers that have diverse hardware architectures and various operating systems. Named Pipes is a protocol developed for
    local area networks. In this case, you can configure SQL Server only use Named Pipes protocol via SQL Server Configuration Manager.

  • The server license allows connections from only 5 unique IP addresses

    Hi All,
    For a project, i did "/Installing Oracle BPEL Process Manager with the
    BEA WebLogic Server/".
    While accessing the BPEL Console from more than 2 machine, i am
    getting the following error message.
    "/The Server is not able to service this request:

    I am running the " /Oracle WebLogic Server 9.2 MP3/" weblogic server,
    which i downloaded from the following oracle internal site.
    /http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/bea_main.html/
    I have downloaded the license key from the following location.
    /http://licensecodes.oracle.com/
    /I have updated the license key using the "/UpdateLicense.cmd" /file.
    I manually checked the "/license.bea/" file it got changed
    "/expiration="never"/" mode.
    But still i wasn't able to get rid of the above error message. Still
    the license is not updated to the server.

    Hi James,
    Thanks a lot for your answer.
    I tried all the possible way to update the license file, i was able to update the file but the problem was not solved.
    I just tried downloading the software from another location and tried updating the license key and now its working fine, i don't see the issue.
    The below link is where i downloaded the software, you can get the license key also.

  • SQL server remote configuration

    Hi,
    We are trying to install just the BIDS in a user machine to be able to develop reports remotely. I have a couple of questions.
    1. In my current scenario, SQL server 2008 R2 is already setup with the reporting services in say, Machine1. Can it be reconfigured so that
    a user in Machine2, trying to develop a report, access report server DB in Machine1? 
    2. Can this be done in such a way that, first we want to point BIDS to a sample database (like Adventureworks etc.) in Machine1, before trying
    to develop reports with the actual database?
    Could anyone help with the detailed steps involved. 
    I have done development of reports with an SQL server installation and configuration in the same machine sometime before, but not remote.
    I looked for manuals, there is help available, but for this scenario, I want to confirm with the steps involved.Any input in this regard would be extremely helpful.
    Thanks,
    SK

    Hi valueinfo,
    As per my understanding, you have a machine named machine1 with Reporting Services in SQL Server 2008 R2 installed. When the users create reports using BIDS,  you want to allow them to use the database installed on machine1 remotely. If that is the
    case, we need to allow remote connections to this server, then add new login to the database. For detail information, please refer to the following steps:
    In SQL Server Management Studio, right-click the instance and open properties dialog box.
    Click Connections, in Remote server connections section, check Allow remote connections to this server check box.
    To configure database access, expand the Security folder, right-click Logins, and then click New Login.
    In the Login – New dialog box, specify SQL Server Authentication mode.
    Type a logon name and password, and then confirm the password.
    In the left pane, click Database Access.
    In the right pane, select the Permit check box for the databases you are granting access to, and then click OK. 
    If we want to use Windows Authentication, we need to be members of the local Administrators or users group.

  • MS SQL Server and JDBC Connection

    I am doing on MS SQL Server 2000 with JDBC for RMI. I download driver from the Microsoft site, and used a connection statement like
    con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;user=sa;password=");
    unfortunately the connection didn't succeed, it says the server actively refused. connect
    where is the problem? Pls anyone with solution.

    BalusC wrote:
    "Connection refused" roughly means that the remote server is not accessible on the specified port.
    Check the correctness of the port and check if there isn't a firewall/proxy running which blocks that port.What I don't understand about the error messages, and so thought it must be related to MS SQL, rather tthan connections in general, is the phrase actively refused that he used. I take that to menat that the DB accepted a connection attempt, then, after attempting to authenticate, cut it off. But its probably just a misrepresentation of the error message on his part.
    Specific MS SQL information, I don't know though.

  • Import Oracle DataBase dump file Into Sql Server With out connection oracle using c# code.

    Hi All,
    I would like to ask how can imports my dump oracle database file data and struct into sql server 2005
    with out make connection oracle.
    best regards.
    Hakim. 

    Hi Hakim.
    Based on your title, what I understood there is a issue regarding transfer oracle db dump to sql database using C# code. Am I right? If so, I am afraid there is no build-in method which meet your requrements in .NET framework. You must provides
    OraDump  Export API to allow developers integrate corresponding capabilities  into their applications. These capabilities are about export data from  Oracle dump files into popular databases like Microsoft SQL server. Every developer
    having OraDump Export API can write just few lines of code on C# or  Visual Basic to implement the appropriate export process.
    I am search a third-party link, but it's a paid service.

  • CF8 and SQL Server Express 2005 connection problem

    Hi. I'm new to SQL Server (I'm running Express 2005 SP2 on
    Vista - local machine) and I can't seem to connect to my datasource
    with CF Admin. I submit the following information to CF Admin:
    CF Data Source Name: MySampleDB
    Database: MySampleDB
    Server: MyMachine\MSSMLBIZ Port: 1433
    User name: Me
    Password: **********
    I get the following error:
    Connection verification failed for data source: MySampleDB
    java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]No
    more data available to read.
    The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
    [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]No more data available to read.
    Log On is using built-in account: Local System
    Here's what else i have done so far:
    I have tried using 127.0.0.1 as the server
    I made sure Windows firewall had an exception to allow port
    1433
    I tried ports 1434 and 8500
    I made sure TCP/IP is enabled in SSCM protocols
    I even tried leaving the username and pwd blank and I get the
    following message:
    Connection verification failed for data source: MySampleDB
    java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC
    Driver]Error establishing socket to host and port: 127.0.0.1:1433.
    Reason: Connection refused: connect
    The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
    [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket to
    host and port: 127.0.0.1:1433. Reason: Connection refused: connect
    I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. Thanks in advance for
    your help!

    Hi,
    The port might have been blocked. Try setting a new port for
    your sqlserver. That may work for you.
    (Because SP2 always blocks port 1433)

  • Hardware Requirements for a SCCM 2012 CAS with SQL Server Remote

    The hardware requirements for a CAS server with SQL Server Enterprise locally installed are:
    16 cores (Intel Xeon L5520 or comparable CPU)
    64 GB of RAM
    1.5 TB of disk space for the operating system, Configuration Manager, SQL Server, and all database files.
    Does anyone know what the hardware requirements are if SQL Server Enterprise is remote from the CAS server?  It's not listed.  -Shane

    Even though I am going to be strung up for even saying this, I do agree there is a use for a CAS outside of 100,000 users.  If you do indeed have distinct admins managing their own images and apps in remote
    locations then I see the benefit of a CAS.  A remote ConfigMgr console connecting to a primary site would perform poorly.  Admin A at the primary site would not experience any issues but Admin B would be in for a lot of work and waiting.  Any
    time Admin B needed to add an app or image it would have to be copied up to the remote primary site and then distributed back down.  This is not the best scenario.
    There are scenarios in company merger situations (and others I am sure) where the management of both locations has not been consolidated down to one location yet and is not going to be done as part of the deployment or upgrade.  If you had a 2007 environment
    it is going to be very hard to convince the admin at the remote location that this upgrade is going to be a good thing for him/her.  There is an option for the remote admin to RDP into a server in the primary site but the image and apps still need
    to be distributed down to the remote location.  During testing this can be very time consuming. 
    I do agree that adding a CAS adds additional complexity but in some cases such as the one I described it is the right decision. 
    Thank you for the reply. And i totally agree that in some cases a design like that is a necessary evil (but not by our personal wants). 
    We had that design with 2007 (implemented before my time), and as you predicted EU admins complained about difficulty using the console RDP-ed into a box close to the primary site. The bandwidth to and from different regions is out of scope for me so I do what
    I can with what I have. We too will be moving forward with a CAS hierarchy. 
    Administratively the other IT depts in other regions operate on their own. I dont handle any of the EU computers on a day to day basis whatsoever, etc. We're not merging but our IT shops operate with near independence. 

  • Inserting data to a . SDF database (SQL Server Compact Edition connection)

    Hi, all.
    I'm working on a project that worked fine while connecting to SQL Server 2008. I used a connection string like this:
    Driver={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;
    Now, I've replaced all database connections in my project to work with SQL Server Compact Edition, and my connection string is something like this:
    Provider=Microsoft.SQLSERVER.CE.OLEDB.3.5;Data Source=myDir\myDataBase.sdf; 
    After changing the type of connection, I'm getting an error on "DB Tools Insert Data.vi". This is what I get:
    Error -2147217872 occurred at NI_Database_API.lvlib:Cmd Execute.vi->NI_Database_API.lvlib: DB Tools Insert Data.vi->Main.vi
    Possible reason(s):ADO Error: 0x80040E30 Exception occured in Microsoft SQL Server Compact OLE DB Provider: The given type name was unrecognized. [,,,,,] in NI_Database_API.lvlib:Rec Create - Command.vi->NI_Database_API.lvlib:Cmd Execute.vi->NI_Database_API.lvlib: DB Tools Insert Data.vi->Main.vi
    This is a simplified block diagram (as I said, it worked perfectly while using SQL Server 2008 connection):
    Could you please help me?
    Thanks in advance,
    Francisco

    Hi, Steve. Thanks for your answers.
    I worked around this problem by using directly a SQL query instead of this function (you were right, using DBTools Execute Query VI). But now I'm getting problems with other functions, when inserting data into the DB including NULL values.
    I make a SQL query like this using DBTools Execute Query VI:
    INSERT INTO Table1 (Column1, Column2, Column3, Column4, Column5, Column6) VALUES ('Value1', 'Value2', 'Value3', 'NULL', 'Value5', 'Value6') 
    and get the following error:
    ADO Error: 0x80040E07Exception occured in Microsoft SQL Server Compact OLE DB Provider: A literal value in the command could not be converted to the correct type due to a reason other than data overflow. [,,,,,] in NI_Database_API.lvlib:Conn Execute.vi->INSERT (new) restricción (DBCT).vi->Restricciones a Base de Datos (DBCT).vi->Definir - editar restricciones.vi->Main.vi
    The same SQL query worked perfectly when using the SQL Server 2008 connection, so it's not a database structure issue.
    Could somebody please help me?

  • SQL Server 2005 SSAS connect to BI possible?

    Hi there,
    I have tested the new .Net Data Provider 1.0 for SAP Netweaver BI in SQL Server Reporting Service (SSRS). What I am wondering is that could SQL Server Analysis Service (SSAS) connect to SAP BI, too? How to do this?
    Best Regardly

    Dear Tom,
    You can use Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) for this connection or through XML for Analysis (XML/A) (an XML standard for Online Analytical Processing - OLAP) it can be done. But I am not sure weather this service is available or not as SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, which is now certified to run reports on SAP BW.
    As I have never ventured in this, I would suggest you to use documentations of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) and SSAS given by MS.
    Also have a look at this doc:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4ab89e84-0d01-0010-cda2-82ddc3548c65

  • Linked Servers - Sql server 2005 to connect to Oracle 11g using ldap.ora instead of tnsnames.ora

    We have a SQL Server 2005 64bit box that needs a linked server created to Oracle 11g 64bit box. I have all the Oracle client software installed and can successfully connect to the Oracle database using SQL+ on the SQL Server 2005 64bit box. When I create
    the linked server and select the OraOledb.Oracle provider, I get the TNSNames error. The Oracle server does not use tnsnames.ora it uses OLAP.ora to resolve. How do I get Linked server to stop trying to connect via TNSNames and use the OLAP.ora file instead?
    I can't find any articles for this specific issues. All Oracle examples tell you to use TNSNAMES. The Oracle server is not under my companies control so I can not force the vendor to use tnsnames instead of OLAP.

    Hi,
    Have you got a resolution?
