Working on trying to connect to SSMS while at home and am greeted with error 18425. Not by choice but wanting to use windows authenticator to log in. I am able to log in while in the office no problem. However when I am home I cannot access the database. I have tried self diagnosing this looking at the DB permissions and going through online docs with no luck.
This server I am not the only user and has to stay online if possible.
I can RDC to the server itself so I can get to the server
Just SSMS doesn't want to let me authenticate
Any help is appreciated
Company domain/username shouloud log into DBname
In office works
Same way of logging in at home
Error 18425

I have looked everywhere on Stack Overflow and I have not found an answer that closely compares to my scenario, so please bear with me.
The issue is I was recently given a development server at work and I have to migrate my current project (which I have on SQL Server Management Studio running on SQL Server Express) so that it is hosted on that server. I was just given the server name and authorized access to it. So I can connect to it through Remote Desktop Connection (RDC), but I am clueless as to where to go from here.
I have tried going in through RDC and opening Management Studio from there but when plugging in my server name and using Windows Authentication it doesn't let me in. And I can't use SQL Server Authentication because I'd have to be actually in to be able to create an SQL login.
How can I connect to this server through Management Studio?
The server is in the same network? In the management studio, in server name, you can put a IP address or computer name.
Do you know if SQL is even installed on the server you are tasked to deploy to? You are able to "connect" to SQL Express locally because the instance is installed on your local machine. You will need an instance of SQL installed on the remote machine to be able to use SSMS to connect to the remote instance.
If you are attempting to connect to an already created DB that you have been using the credentials are the same, if you know the address and you have the ports opened on your computer to allow the connection. If you are going to start a new DB on the server, then you will have to connect via AD credentials IF your admin has given you the proper access. I personally suggest using AD credentials to create connections, it's just a lot more secure.
If you are trying to connect to the local db, then it should be on the drop down list on the log in screen.
You are going to have to talk with your admin who set it up if you are still having problems.
You might have to Enter your Server Details in the Hosts File on the Current Application Server
For Accessing Hosts File,
Go to Run and type drivers and Hit Enter. Go to the etc Folder and you will see hosts file in the Folder.
At the End of the File Enter the Server IP And Server Name
Save the file and try Logging into the Server Management Studio again
Hopefull, this would help
I have been trying to run debugging within SQl server management studio and for some reason the debugger has just stopped working.
This is the message I get:
Unable to start the Transact-SQL debugger, could not connect to the
database engine instance 'server-sql'. Make sure you have enabled the
debugging firewall exceptions and are using a login that is a member
of the sysadmin fixed server role. The RPC server is unavailable.
Before this I get two messages, one requesting firewall permissions and the next says 'usage' with some text that makes little sense.
I have looked at the other similar answers on there for the same message which suggest adding the login as a sysadmin but that is already set. I also tried adding sysadmin to another account but that also didn't work.
In the end I was able to start it by right clicking and selecting run as administrator.
I encountered this issue while connected to SQL using a SQL Server Authenticated user. Once I tried using a Windows Authenticated user I was able to debug without issue. That user must also be assigned the sysadmin role.
This happened to me and I could not find the resolution anywhere. My firewall is disabled so I knew that couldn't be the issue.
According to Microsoft: Configure firewall rules before running the TSQL Debugger:
The server needs to communicate back to the client via RPC. The
account under which SQL Server service is running should have
authenticate permissions to the client.
We had a group policy that was preventing this:
Deny access to this computer from the network (Local account, Guests)
In order to resolve the issue, I had to add the SQL Server service account to the local group "Remote Desktop Users" on my desktop. Hope this helps someone else resolve this frustrating issue.
I try with the following steps, but it did not work (maybe because I'm on a PC in a office and I don't have control of the firewall). But you can try the following.
Check the users role:
IF IS_SRVROLEMEMBER ('sysadmin') = 1
print 'Current user''s login is a member of the sysadmin role'
Follow these instructions:
configure the transact-SQL Debugger
Run SQL Server Management Standard Edition 64 bits (with SQL Server Account)
In my case, I received this error message:
Unable to start the Transact-SQL debugger, could not connect to the computer "local".
I end up close the existing connection, then reconnect to my local SQL server using IP 127.0.0.1 and it works.
What helped me, was from here:
SQL Server Management Studio must be running under a Windows account that is a member of the sysadmin fixed server roll.
The Database Engine Query Editor window must be connected by using
either a Windows Authentication or SQL Server Authentication login
that is a member of the sysadmin fixed server role.
So, I've added sysadmin role to my windows account and run ssms as administrator. Debugger started working normally.
In addition to above works, what make our 2 computers remote debug able, was running: (right click on Window's Start button)
System--> Advanced System Properties-->Computer Name-->Click on Network ID... button
and running that wizard to join workgroup on both computers.
I found this solution by looking at my Windows' Event Viewer and looking for a solution to errors with NetBT Source, that is related to workgroup and computer Name.
Update: after some days, it stop working again.
I had the same problem and double checked al recommended settings. At some point I disabled the firewall on the database server and it worked like a charm. By enabling and checking the Firewall log I noticed this entry:
2019-10-31 16:07:50 DROP TCP 192.168.xxx.xxx 192.168.xxx.xxx 65231 61214 52 S 56576751 0 8192 - - - RECEIVE
When I allowed TCP port 61214 (Inbound rule) and switched the firewall back on, it worked. I don't know why this port is needed, maybe some here on SO?
Anyway, maybe the firewall log can be of help too.
Struggled through many hours and got the answer
You can do the configuration through this doc
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/scripting/configure-firewall-rules-before-running-the-tsql-debugger?view=sql-server-ver15
(1) 2 settings need to done on the remote server where Sql server is installed
(2) 1 setting at client computer (i.e) our computer
Suddenly I am unable to login to our SQL Server. No one in the office is able to connect to the server. What could be the issue?
Error
Login Failed for user XXX/YYY (Microsoft SQL Server, Error; 18456)
You can try one of the following:
Check if the SQL Server / SQL Server Agent Services in the Services.msc are not stopped. If they are start them and try connecting.
Sometimes it also can be that your account is disabled. You could try creating another Windows user, adding it to the local administrator group on your computer, log onto your computer with that account and try accessing SQL Server then.
When i had similar issue(s) the above solutions worked.
Happy coding.
I brought my laptop home from work hoping I could get some tasks done over the weekend. Unfortunately, I couldn't login to SQL Server using Windows Authentication. I've checked the SQL Server Configuration Manager and the instance (MSSQLSERVER) is set to Log On As Local System, which supposedly means that I should be able to login fine using Windows Authentication... or am I missing something here? Note that in the login window, I tried a lot of different combinations and it always keeps telling me that connection failed because the server is not accessible or I'm not authorized to access it.
A little background about how the instance was installed: I installed and configured it myself. I chose the Mixed Authentication mode and gave a password to the default sa user (which isn't working either by the way). The thing I suspect could be the problem is the fact that I installed the SQL SERVER instance when I was logged in as my Domain User at work (DOMAIN\UserName). Now I'm at home and I do not have access to the LAN at the office, so I'm logged in as the {COMPUTERNAME}\Kassem user.
Any thoughts?
A windows account has to be added to SQL Server to have any rights. If you didn't add {COMPUTERNAME}\Kassem, you can't login to SQL Server.
The recovery option here is the SA password, which should always work.
To connect to the default instance, connect to localhost or .. Connecting to .\MSSQLSERVER won't work, even though MSSQLSERVER is the default instance name.
I have a timeclock database setup on a Windows 2008 server, SQL Server. It has been working for MONTHS. Today, all of a sudden, it seems like some peoples' logins are working and some peoples' logins are not working.
SQL authentication works fine, however the Windows authentication is not working. I checked the log files and it seems like SQL Server 2008 is just not liking the passwords!
Does anyone know what could be going on here?
Windows auth relies on the SIDs contained in the login token generated when folk log in to Windows: not the actual windows password or even username
If it's failing, then you have issues witg Active Directory or some underpinnings such as Kerberos.
Saying that, there are some common issue I've seen over time:_
password changes: invalidate the login token in some circumstances. If you have a policy for password changes then simply sking folk to lock/unlcok their PCs will cause a "re-login" against AD
use FQDN + port: If you use named instance, the client must query port 1434 to get the actual port of the instance. If you have a lot of firewalls or remote clients then sometimes this handshake fails. IIRC something to do with Kerberos. We found using server.domain.tld\instance, port fixed all our issues (I'm talking USA or Hong Kong to Europe based server)
You may solve this problem by assigning user rights to the user: "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM".
Follow these steps:
Open "SQL Server Management Studio".
Open "Security, and then Logins".
Rightclick on user: "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM >> Properties".
Select "Server Roles" tab, and check the "sysadmin" server role.
You are done.
u can also try right click on the user u wanna grant the privilegies and click on all of them in server roles
