My PC name is IBALL1. I get an error
Login Failed for user 'iball1\User1'.(Microsoft SQL server, Error: 18456)
I am trying to log in using Windows authentication.
And in SQL Server Configuration Manager > SQl Server Service > SQL Server Logon As Local System.
In error log text file, at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log
Log says:
Login failed for user 'iball1\User1'. Reason: Could not find a login matching the name provided. [CLIENT: local machine]
i have also faced same problem then i have followed this intructions
Try this once other wise will look into other solution
Go to SQL Server Configuration Manager
Start->all program->SQL Server 2008 R2->Configuration Tools->SQL Server Configuration Manager
Explore "SQL Server Network Configuration" and then select "Protocols For MSSQLSERVER".
Check your TCP/IP Protocols in right side pane. If it is disabled then enabled it and Restart the "Sql Server(MSSQLSERVER) service" that available in "SQL Server 2008 R2 services pane".
Couple of check points:
1) make sure your your sql express services is up and running with name 'IBALL1'
if not try restarting.
2) while connecting give pc name as prefix for server name too .

I have just installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio. But I do not know what is the default login.
I searched over internet for solution, but no luck!
I have tried following solutions:
Server Type: Database Engine
Server Name: .
Authentication: Windows Authentication
and
Server Type: Database Engine
Server Name: .\SqlExpress
Authentication: Windows Authentication
But not sure why not working, I keep getting the following error:
Connect to Server
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an
error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: SSL
Provider, error: 0 - The message received was unexpected or badly
formatted.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -2146893018)
There is no default login for windows authentication. I believe you need to add the current user as an administrator to login. Did you select SQL and Windows authentication and provide an SA password?
OP, has your computer had any recent updates? The SQL services tend to stop when system receives big updates, check that there are no services stopped.
The only reason I'm assuming this is your solution is because I see you can't even log in with Windows Authentication
It looks like you have only installed SQL Management Studio and not SQL Server with Tools i.e. SQL Server plus SSMS. I guess this is what you need?
It looks like you have only installed SQL Management Studio and not SQL Server with Tools i.e. SQL Server plus SSMS. I guess this is what you need? Also there is nothing wrong with your machine it is just that you require an instance of sql and you have only installed the management studio so you now just need to install sql server 2008 R2 express (FREE) I would suggest.
I am trying to connect to a SQL Server 2008. I just installed SQL Server 2008 and Service Pack 2. I open SQL Server Management Studio and try to connect with database engine:
ServerName: Laura\SQLEXPRESS
Authentication: Windows Authentication
User Name: Laura\Laureta
Click Connect and shows the following error:
A network error ocurred while establishing a connection to SQL
server...error 26-Error locating server/instance specified
I also turned off windows firewall
Check sqlserver service if running or not
from start menu > run> services
I've just installed SQL Server 2005 Express and I'm trying to login to Management Studio but I don't know what the "Server Name" is to be able to login.
I've tried:
localhost\SQLEXPRESS
127.0.0.1\SQLEXPRESS
SQLEXPRESS
<computer name>\SQLEXPRESS
<username>\SQLEXPRESS
The authentication mode is Windows Authentication.
The error message I'm getting is:
Could not connect to <computer name>\SQLEXPRESS.
Additional information
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. (proveder: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server)
Does anyone point me in the right direction?
Is the SQL Server Express service even up and running??
The local machine can be defined as . or (local) for SQL Server, and the SQL Server Express instance name is SQLExpress by default.
So .\SQLExpress or (local)\SQLExpress ought to work.
If they don't, maybe the service isn't up and running??
I installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express edition on my Vista Ultimate computer. However, when it opens I enter my computer name / SQLEXPRESS. When I click the Connect button, it gives me an error message.
Under the configuration tools I cannot find the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration. It only has SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting.
The error message I receive when I click the Connect button is:
A network related or instance specific error occurred while establsihing a connection to SQL server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that the SQL server is confugured to allow remote connection (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error 40- Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server : error 67)
From your question, as you'd written, it appears the slash is incorrect. Try:
.\SQLEXPRESS
Also ensure that your SQL Server services are started. Run services.msc and find SQL Server(SQLExpress).
Another thing to check for is the account that the SQL Express service is running under. I think it defaults to network service, but I typically run it under Local System (or if you're feeling ambitious, make a service account for it). This has taken care of a handful of permission issues I've had with SQL Express in the past.
I have SQL server 2008 and it was working fine ,but today while starting SQL server I am getting the following 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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)"
In SQL Server Configuration Manager--> sql server services --> MS sql server and all other service status is showing as stopped(previously it was running). I have tried to make it start but the request failed..I have checked the event log ,its showing "The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not start due to a logon failure" ....My SQL server is taking windows authentication and few days back I have changed the PWD ..can it b the reason..pls help.
Note: Its not remote connection..the server is My system only..
Thanks Stuart for ur suggestions but the problem was a bit different.
I got the sloution from http://dotnet.org.za/thea/archive/2004/06/09/2069.aspx
Its working Now :-)
In server properties in security, check that server authentication is set to
SQL SErver and Windows Authentication mode.
EDIT: I had similar error after installation of service pack, the install switched the server authentication mode to windows only.
1.Management Studio
2.Object browser should be open in the left hand pane
3.Right click on the server instance name
4.Select properties from the menu choices
5.Server Properties dialog opens
6.Select security on the left hand menu items
7.On the right, there will be server authentication, select 'SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode'
This should allow you to log in as sa, once running and you are in, make changes if required to Logins and Roles
