I've created a SQL Server Express instance and setup a Data Gateway within powerapps.
The Gateway appears properly in the SQL Server dialog window, but when I add the credentials it pauses for a minute then returns a DMTS_EncryptClusterCredentialsErrorCode error message.
After looking at this with a Server Admin for ~1 hour we were unable to figure out what the issue is. We have TCP/IP enabled and are able to connect to the Database in question properly from our desktops, so it shouldn't be an issue with the db setup.
Anyone have experience with connecting SQL Server 2017 Express to Powerapps or know anything about this error message?
I ended up submitting a ticket to MS regarding this issue and after working with the rep for a while, it came down to toggling the https switch.
Hope this saves someone the hassle of going through MS support.

I am working on a project with a friend and he has deployed a SQL Server database. He uses a PC and can access the database using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
However I have a Macbook with an M1 chip and so I cannot use SSMS and need to figure out which SQL Server application I want.
It seems like the way to go is Microsoft Azure Data Studio. I cannot figure out how to connect properly, I have looked at several solutions posted online which all say to download docker, download the latest SQL Server image, use SQL edge, run SQL Server in a container and then open Azure and connect.
One caveat is that all these tutorials end with creating a SQL Server on the local host rather than connecting to an existing one.
In Azure, after entering server id, username and password, there is a green dot on the label of the DB on the left drop down menu, indicating that the connection to the DB was successful. However whenever I try to view the DB's from the drop down it loads and then errors:
Object Explorer task didn't complete within 45 seconds
and I cannot run any basic queries either.
At this point I don't care what IDE I use as long as it works. Any advice is much appreciated. It seems like this task should be super easy but has given me such a hard time and we cannot continue working on the project until I get access.
Anyways, thanks again in advance! and lmk if there's any other info I should provide.
Tried using docker with Azure Data Studio and my results were the same as when I only used Azure.
You'll want to use Azure Data Studio.
You don't need Docker at all to meet your goals. Those tutorials were in regards to running your own SQL Server instance on a Mac. You're trying to connect to an existing instance.
As mentioned in the comments, where is the existing SQL Server instance located?...is it on a server that's part of a domain. Is your Mac part of that same domain? It sounds like you're getting some kind of timeout issue or some sort of authentication issue. So this is more of an infrastructure question.
Once connected to the SQL Server instance in Azure Data Studio, what happens if you just open a blank worksheet and run the query SELECT ##SERVERNAME?
I have tried EVERY suggestion I have found so far in SE and nothing works. Let me explain what is going on.
I am a PHP developer and I am making a transition to ASP. So I am developing a website locally and I need a database going, also locally. But like I said, I can't add the NORTHWND database because I don't have the server up and running. I read through the tutorials and I seen to be missing a piece of every puzzle.
I have SQL Server 2008 running.
These guys Add Database say to attach the database via VS12. I have no such option to "Attach"
These guys here Connect to your server say to connect to the SQL server but I can't connect. When I try, I get an error that says:
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)
(.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I also noticed there was a localdb with username LOTUSMS. I don't remember ever making a username for anything here. And I can't remove it or make one up. (Windows Authentication)
And then these guys Turn on your Server Service say the Server must be up and running and to log into the SQL server Configuration Manager and ensure the SQL services are running. Well, they are not. It says "the remote procedure call failed" and there is no other options to restart or edit or anything
So as you can see, I know my problems, but I can't find the solution to them. Anyone? I am not sure as to what logs or extra evidence you may need, so before I go adding unnecessary text and pics here, I'll leave it open and produce the evidence as requested.
Thanks in advance
I am having issues connecting to sql server either through SSMS or my C# application.
One thing to note is that I am out of my work domain. But I have in the past worked from home before and didn't had any issues. Maybe once but I restarted and it worked. But it's not working today.
Microsoft SQL Server ERROR 2
Establish whether the correct port is open and listening (TCP port 1433 by default) you may need to speak to your network administrator for this.
The SQL Server Browser Service may also need to be running.
If not the above then perhaps an authentication issue...
Finally managed to fix it. Logged on to sql server configuration manager and under sql server services I noticed that all the services were stopped. Just started the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) manually and everything is back to normal.
Thank you everyone for your time and input. Much appreciated.
Good Afternoon,
I'm having difficulty running a report with a data source saved on the Report Server using credentials for a user I created on SQL Server named 'ReportUser'. Attempting to resolve this I've mapped the user to the 'ReportServer' database with the db_owner role as well as setting the default database to the 'ReportServer'. However, each time I attempt to run the report I receive the error message:
Cannot create a connection to data source 'Test'. Login failed for user 'ReportUser'.
I'm running SQL Server 2008 from my local machine and am able to successfully run the reports when I setup the datasource using Windows Authentication. Any idea on what could be causing the issues when attempting to use the SQL Authentication with the 'ReportUser'
Thank you very much for your help!
Thank you for your reply.
I believe I found the cause of my issue. Since this was a local install for testing purposes I just set up the instance of SQL Server with Windows Authentication. However, I made the mistake of not setting up the server for both Windows and SQL Authentication. The following link helped me resolve this.

After changing this setting and restarting the SQL Server everything appears to be running properly now.
There is probably a simple answer to this question but I do not have much experience with SQL Server/SSAS. I can connect to my local server PCNAME\SQLEXPRESS in SQL Server 2008. On that server I have made a database, some dimension tables, and a fact table that I intend to build a cube from.
I have been following tutorials on the internet on how to build a cube. I can successfully make a data source that connects to PCNAME\SQLEXPRESS, as well as make a data source view from it.
The problem is that after I build the cube, I get A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running. and cannot process the cube. BIDS is displaying the star schema of my tables just fine, recognizes the relationships via foreign keys, etc... so I figured the server was running since it could access all of that data.
Does anyone know why this is happening, and if my server really isn't running can someone tell me how to start it? I am using SQL Server 2008 R2.
Thanks,
Logan
edit: I just tried to change the server name to PCNAME\SQLEXPRESS instead of localhost in the Properties->Deployment option menu. I get A connection cannot be made to redirector. Ensure that 'SQL Browser' is running.
I solved this problem - for people that find this page on Google in the future: when I first installed SQL Server, the SSAS part failed to install. I uninstalled SQL Server and when I reinstalled, I looked deeper into the issue. Apparently one of the services needed to run SSAS has a weird bug where it cannot be started if your Event Log is full. I finished the installation of SQL Server, cleared my Event Log (Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer -> Click Each Log and go to Action -> Clear All Events), and then started the SSAS service in the SQL Configuration Manager.
You can start by going to "Programs->Microsoft SQL Server 2008->Configuration Tools->SQL Server Configuration Manager". Once there, you need to start the services "SQL Server", "SQL Server Analysis Services", and maybe try starting "SQL Server Browser", though I believe that is not necessary.
