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 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 just created a new SQL Server 2014 VM from Windows Azure gallery. I did remote login into VM , on trying to login into DB with Windows Authentication mode, I get below error:
Login failed for user 'dbserver\dba1'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Are there any specific steps, which I have to follow for new SQL Server DB login to work properly?
P.S. I have opened port 1433 into windows firewall, it did not help, althoug that should not be required for logging in directly from VM.
I guess Azure VM is not joined to domain. This means that only SQL authentication will work against this SQL Server instance. You might need to do the following:
Enable Mixed authentication on the SQL Server
Add a user mapped to SA role (or enable SA and set its password, but having separate user is better)
Open port 1433 (you did this already)
Make sure SQL is listening on this port (should be already)
In case you connecting outside of the same Azure Cloud Service - make sure you have endpoint created for the VM. Highly recommended to use port different from 1433 as the endpoint public port.
Don't forget to specify port if it is not standard, SQL connection string expects comma for it (i.e. myvmpublicname.cloudapp.net,12345)
You can check this article for more details
I was getting connection inside the VM using MSSQL Server, but not from outside. After reading some comments, I found that I needed to add a specific port for outgoing traffic and added that port at Azure firewall:
Here are the steps to check is it working for you or not:
Start Sql Server configuration Manager
Click on your Server name
Click SQL Server network config
Click on protocols
Click on TCP/IP
At the end of tcp/IP range set your port, I set 1433.
Please restart SQL Database.
Now open port at Azure management portal. And conntect through SQL tools or other services.
And also remember to open windows firewall.
It most likely installed another windows user as the admin for the SQL Database. If you know what that user is, login as them.
Otherwise, did you manage to set up the SQL in mixed mode and have an sa password. If so, login with that then add the Windows Account.
If not, try Forgot SQL Server Password to reset the sa password and get access that way.
I'm trying to add new data source via the data source configuration wizard. I'm using Microsoft SQL Server as data source and .NET framework Data Provider for SQL Server as data provider. In the next window where I have to choose the server name, the list is empty. So I thought one of the SQL services are not working, I opened services.msc and there were 6 services, from which only SQL services vss writer was enabled. I enabled all of them (SQL Server, SQL Server agent, SQL Server browser, SQL Server Active Directory Helper) but the list still is empty. What should I do?
The SQL Browser service is the one used to allow other machines to discover the SQL server's existence on the network, though this requires TCP/IP or Named Pipes to be enabled in the SQL configuration, so check that too.
Also check your firewall isn't blocking the UDP port 1434 (and TCP port 1433 for that matter) [note, these are the default ports; they can be changed in the configuration).
The problem here might be your Database might not have permission over network..
Just try to connect by using Sql Authentication using sa account and password.. This should help you.
The other reason might be if you are using Visual studio 2010 it wont show database from Sql Server 2000
Accept or Vote up if it works for you.
I'm doing research on how to integrate users or groups in Active Directory to SQL Server so that users can simply login to Windows and use the application (the connection is thru Windows Authentication).
What I did so far:
Install Windows Server 2008 R2 on a machine with the name "TheServerMachine"
Set "TheServerMachine" as Active Directory domain "MyDomain" controller
Add user User1 to active directory.
Add group Group1 to active directory. (Global, Security)
Add User1 to Group1
Install SQL Server 2008 Express, "SQLEXPRESS" as instance, on "TheServerMachine"
Set server to allow remote connection
The SQL server is in firewal exception
TCP/IP protocol is enabled for the SQL service
Setup the database "MyDatabase"
Add role "MyRules"
Add "MyDomain/Group1" to Login (the dialog box recognizes the group and the domain) with the default database "MyDatabase"
Add user "Group1Users" to "MyDatabase", added a role "MyRules" and set the login I have created.
Add a client machine with the name "Client1" to "MyDomain".
Done!
My problem is, I can't access the SQL server in my client PC which is successfully logged in as "User1" in windows. Using these server path in my ConnectionString, it says that server may not allow remote connection, or the server path may be invalid.
"\\TheServerMachine\SQLEXPRESS"
"\\MyDomain\SQLEXPRESS"
"\\192.168.0.1\SQLEXPRESS"
"TheServerMachine\SQLEXPRESS"
"MyDomain\SQLEXPRESS"
"192.168.0.1\SQLEXPRESS"
Note: My connection string is set "Integrated Security=True".
Do you think it has something to do with my path?
Is it because the domain and SQL server is on the same machine? (I don't think so)
Did I miss some configuration to Domain? Active Directory? SQL Server?
Should I use "SSPI" instead of "True" in "Integrated Security"?
Thanks in advance!
If your TCP/IP protocol is enabled, also make sure that SQL Server Browser service is enabled and started (and set it to automatic if you will be receiving connections from clients).
The SQL Server Browser is use for dynamic port allocation for named instances (in this case SQLEXPRESS is a named instance) and reaches out over port 1434. Also ensure that port 1433 and port 1434 are open.
Edit: Ensure that you are working with SQL Server services through the SQL Server Configuration Manager (SSCM), as the Windows Service Manager/Console snap-in doesn't have the added functionality that SQL Server services require.
First thing that jumps to mind is that SQLExpress isn't configured for remote connections out of the box. Instructions on how to do that
You might run into some other issues after this but try the things in that article first.
And indeed you did already establish that you configured SQLExpress for remote connections. Next item that popped out was your uncertainty on connection string with Integrated security true vs SSPI. What does the current connection string look like? I would assume something like
Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf
