I keep reading articles online that say this is possible but nothing that says how to do it. I have an SQL Server 2014 server and I want to create a linked server to a SharePoint site. I can go to Server Objects > Linked Server > New but then I don't know what to do.
Follow the steps below:
1.Open SQL Server Management Studio, enter the name of your local SQL Server, and then select Connect.
2.Expand Server Objects, right-click Linked Servers, and then select New Linked Server. To see Server Objects, connect to a local on-premises SQL Server. Then, Server Objects should be displayed.
3.In the Linked server text box, enter the full network name of the SQL Server you want to link to.
4.Under Server type, select SQL Server.
5.In the left pane, select Security. In this step, you map the local account you created to the remote server login.
6.Select Add, and enter the following:
a.Under Local Login, select the local account you created.
b.Check Impersonate if the local login also exists on the remote server.
c.Alternatively, if the local login will be mapped to a remote SQL Server login you, enter the Remote User name and Remote Password for the remote server login.
7.In the left pane, choose Server Options. Set the RPC and RPC Out parameters to True, and then select OK.

If you want to access SharePoint data from other application, I suggest you use SharePoint API(CSOM(C#), REST API or web service) to achieve it.

Trying to link a server that I only have read-access to and uses windows authentication to log me in. I'm trying to link it to my local database so I can combine commands in both databases because my web application executes stored procedures.
Is this possible?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/system-stored-procedures/sp-addlinkedserver-transact-sql?view=sql-server-2017
Yes, you can.
From your description, you want to uses windows authentication to log in the linked server.
When a linked server is created by using sp_addlinkedserver, a default self-mapping is added for all local logins. As a result, if the windows account for the local server also exist in the remote account, you can log in the linked server via the current windows account.
Besides after adding the linked server, you can also create a mapping between a login on the local instance of SQL Server and a security account on a remote server. For detailed information, please refer to the sp_addlinkedsrvlogin (Transact-SQL).
I would like to connect SQl server DB in VM using my local sql server management studio.
What should I need for server name ?
Can I use my server Windows authentication for VM in my local ?
Create an empty text file on your VM and give it extension .udl
Doubleclick on it now you can set the properties easy from combobox
Adjust the properties and click on "test connection" until it works
Now open the file in notepad and there you see a complete connection string.
Note that for SQL Server authentication you need to configure the protocol in SQL Server Configuration Manager
When you are in Management studio on your local machine, you will need the hostname or IP address of the VM.
For Windows Authentication, you will need an account on the local domain that both your workstation and the database VM are connected to.
For SQL server authentication, you will need an account in the SQL Server instance.
In both cases, security will need to be configured and associated with your account.
Are you on a domain, or is this just a private server?
Use name of the VM where SQL server is running.
And yes, you can use Windows authentication. Depending on your domain settings.
This will help you How to: Create a SQL Server Login It is not much difference from SQL login.
And if you are in Administrators group on machine running SQL Server, then your login already should be included.
And if your machine with Management Studio and server with SQL Server are in different domains, then you will need to run Management Studio under different account
runas /netonly /user:domain\username "c:\path\ssms.exe"
See Connect to SQL Servers in another domain using Windows Authentication
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 installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine, and now when I want to open that database using SQL Server Management Studio on the client machine it fails to open.
But the database opens normally on the server.
The owner of the database is sa and on client I am logged in with windows authentication.
How to resolve this error??
the server priciple smtech/prabhu is not able to access the database
the user is of client under the server domain
I suggest making sure that the account you are trying to connect with actually has access.
Log onto the server, open up management studio, look in object explorer. There should be a Security folder icon in the treeview, Expand that and the Logins folder.
If the user you are trying to connect with isnt present you may need to add it.
Other than this instead of connecting with windows authentication maybe try connect with SQL Server Authentication as the SA user?
Is both Client and DB sever are on SAME domain ?? If not, then I think Windows Authentication will not work for you.
(As already suggested in above answer) create a SQL Login try with to connect DB from Client using that Login.
If both machine are on same domain and still you are not able to connect server, then few things you can check,
Can your client actually "see" this server over network ??
Most common reason is firewall. By default SQL Server communicates from port 1433 and 1434. Try to see if this MSDN link helps
Make sure that your SQL Server instance is configured to communicate using TCP/IP. This can be configured from SQL Server Configuration Manager.
I am a developer-having-to-play-admin and wish to connect to a remote sql server from my development machine using a sql server user ("op_web").
When I try to connect from vs2008 Server Explorer, I can connect to the server, but no databases are listed. If I connect using the server admin user, all databases are listed as expected.
The server is a relatively fresh install made by me.
I have
allowed for remote connections in sql server.
created the login op_web at server level
created a user at database level and assigned to login with same name
assigned roles to the user to allow for reading and writing - I have assigned no schemas and default schema for the user is dbo.
If I log on (locally at server) using sqlserver management studio/sqlserver authentication and the created login, I can display and alter table data as I would expect.
Remote access gives me no choice of databases.
Any pointers to what I might have missed?
You have to give your users rights on the database.
