Hi we're building out some test clusters in Azure, using Developer edition of SQL Server 2016. However with no firewalls between the two nodes, both nodes in same subnet, all tcp/ip settings enabled and sa permissions on both servers we're unable to connect using SSMS (management studio), what I'm trying to understand is are there any limitations with creating AlwaysOn Availabiity groups using SQL Developer 2016? Getting the following error
Mcrosoft SQL Server, Error 5 "Access is Denied"
However I can log onto the instances on both machines locally using ssms, but not across the network.
Think it might be a limitation on the sql server edition?
Thanks and sorry if this seems a bit random :)
In order to connect to SQL server on VM from a local machine. you have to not only open 1433 port for the VM on the portal, but also do you need to set up the firewall inside of the VM machine. Make sure you have the inbound 1433 port opened as below:

Well, I'm having the following situation.
I'm trying to set up a testing environment which consist of having a SQL Server on a Windows Server VM hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). So far I've installed SQL Server on the VM and configured an instance with SQL authentication. Then I installed SMSS to access using the instance name and my credentials. At this point everything works well.
The problem comes when I try to access my SQL Server via SMSS from another computer. As the instance I'm using my GCP VM IP Adress and the credentials I've created before. The error is as follows:
So far I've done the following configurations:
Enable TCP/IP via SQL Server configuration manager.
I made sure that port 1433 was properly configured in the TCP/IP properties.
Created a new inbound rule on the Firewall to allow TCP connections using port 1433.
On the SMSS, checked that allow remote connections is enabled.
Restarted SQL Services from SQL Server configuration manager and services.msc
With above configurations it should work! But I've no idea what's happening.
Anyone who could give me a hint of how this could be solved, I'd appreciate it.
I have a SQL Server on Azure VM and I am trying to connect to it from my web app. Can someone point me in the right direction?
I have searched and I have not found one where it connecting to SQL on VM (iAAS). I have only seen tutorials connect to the SQL Server (PAAS). Any help appreciated.
SQL Server on an Azure VM is exactly the same as connecting to SQL Server on a physical server or a VMWare VM.
You will need to ensure that the VM has either a static IP Address or a DNS name. This is what you would use to connect to it from your client. You will also have to ensure that you deal with firewalls.
Is your client also an Azure VM or is it on-premises?
Here's two Azure documents may help you:
Connect to a SQL Server Virtual Machine on Azure.
This topic describes how to connect to your SQL Server instance running on an Azure virtual machine.
Connect your application to Azure SQL Database managed instance.
Today you have multiple choices when deciding how and where you host your application.Whatever choice you made, you can connect it to a Managed Instance.
Hope this helps.
Am hoping i can count on skill set of the experts in the house.
I have a BI solution developed with Microsoft Analysis Services (aka SSAS) and am trying to connect to it via qlikview, the error thrown is
Ensure SQL Server browser is running
and upon ports opened it try to connect and endless asking for user credentials without browsing the cubes.
I have tried couple of suggested solutions such as :
Firstly, the SQL Server browser is running on the said server
Secondly, have opened up the port for SSAS using a fixed port as the instance is a named instance
Also, have opened up the port on which SQL Server browser runs.
Firewall has been switched off on the said port while remote connectivity has been allowed.
Yet the error persists.
Although I can connect with the SSAS database on the local machine.
The problem does lie with trying to connect to SSAS on a remote server connection.
N.B: Am using Qlikview version 11.20, SQL server 2012 while the remote server is Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard 64 bit
Kindly be of help here please.

I am not able to connect to a SQL Server 2005 hosted on a Win7 virtual machine. I am new to VM, can someone help me locate the problem?
I am able to connect another SQL server which is installed on the local machine.
When you say you can't connect - that can mean a lot of things - really you need to be much more specific.
In addition to the comments and answers already here - If you're having trouble connecting to it in Sql Server Management Studio - you should open Configuration Manager on the VM itself and make sure that Shared Memory and Named Pipes are enabled (open the SQL Server Network Configuration node in the tree).
For example, SQL Server Express instances are configured by default to reject the kind of remote connection that SSMS wants to open by default.
first of all check your connection string (for reference):
http://www.connectionstrings.com/
Second you need to add an exception in the guest machine firewall or completely disable it (port 1433 is for sql tcp/ip access).
this works fine for me:
SQLConn.ConnectionString = "Network Library=DBMSSOCN; Data Source=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,1433;
Initial Catalog=mySQLServerDBName; User ID=myUsername;Password=myPassword"
good luck
I might be the million'th person posting about this, but others' solutions haven't helped me. I have a database on Microsoft SQL Azure. I an trying to connect to it using the Visual Studio 2010's "Connect to Database" Tool.
From my Windows 7 machine, I can connect to it very easily. But from my Windows Server 2008R2 machine i am getting the classic error -
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)
All the posts around the web seem to be focussing on the problems on the server side, no one cares if the client goes rogue. :(
Thanks for the replies.
I have seen similar problems with VS2010 DB Tool and Windows Server so I would not suggest try using SSMS 2008 R2 (must be R2). Once you have download SSMS 2008 R2 and configured properly to work on Windows Server it sure will work. In most of the case you really need to open SSMS settings to get it workon on Windows Server.
Next a few points to check:
Verify that the telnet is working from your Windows Server Machine:
c:>telnet _your_sqlazure_database_name.database.windows.net 1433
Disable your real time security and the try again
Finally following the link to keep applying settings in your Windows Server and SSMS which are applicable and I am sure it will work:

One issue is that you need to connect via tcp, not named pipes (per your error message).
Are both servers behind the same firewall (e.g. the same external IP address)? The SQL Azure firewall needs to be configured to allow access from remote IP addresses.
