Could not connect to SQL Server using osql - sql-server-2005

I have a script that connects to SQL Server 2005 default instance. But I'm and being connected and instead got the following message
[SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53].
[SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired
[SQL Native Client]An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
The script's content is:
osql -E -S <servername> -i D:\scripts\script1.sql -o D:\scripts\script1.txt
I looked at the network connection from SQL Server Configuration Manager. The TCP/IP is enabled but the Named Pipes is disabled.
My question is what could be the possible cause and solution for this error?

try osql -E -S(local) or osql -E -S. I have not figured out why sometimes it does work, and other times it does not.

I am installing SQLCMD. My Command:
sqlcmd -S 127.0.0.1 -U sa -P your_password
But there is an error was showing...

Can anyone help me out??
You need to specify the port on your server in your sqlcmd.
-S [protocol:]server[instance_name][,port]

'sqlcmd' utility unable to login to the database

I have a large .sql data file (4.3 GB) and I would like to execute this file on SQL Server. Doing some research, I found that I can execute this file using the following command:
sqlcmd -U username -P password -S rs-reporting-v1 -d NSTest -i D:NetSuiteDataFiles\Transactions.sql -o D:\NetSuiteDataFiles\Transactions_output_file.txt
When I execute the above command, get the following error:
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53]. .
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Login timeout expired.
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online..
I've tried changing the username to domain\username but it didn't help at all. I have checked the spellings of username and password multiple times and I'm sure they're correct.
EDIT
I changed my command to the following:
sqlcmd -E -S rs-reporting-v2 -d NSTest -i D:NetSuiteDataFil
es\Transactions.sql -o D:\NetSuiteDataFiles\Transactions_output_file.txt
and now I get the following error:
Would someone please be able to let me know what I'm doing wrong here? Any help would be much appreciated.
I would also like to point out that the .sql file is creating a table and then inserting values.

Not able to connect to the SQLCMD Utility

When I try to connect to the sql server using the sqlcmd utility, I use the following syntax:
sqlcmd -q "SELECT * FROM AdventureWorks2008R2.Person.Person"
I get this following error, can anyone pleae help on this.
HResult 0x2, Level 16, State 1
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : An error has occurred while establi
shing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failu
re may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not
allow remote connections..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.
Supply the server you wish to connect to:
sqlcmd -S <server> -q "SELECT * FROM AdventureWorks2008R2.Person.Person"
For instance if you use SQL Server Express <server> would be .\SQLEXPRESS
For further options of sqlcmd use sqlcmd -?
sqlcmd -S <server> -d <database> -q "query"
this syntax worked perfectly for me...
First connect to SQL Server, as:
C:\>sqlcmd -U sa -P your_password
Then enter queries:
SELECT * FROM AdventureWorks2008R2.Person.Person;
When you want to exit out of sqlcmd, just type:
quit
and enter.

Getting connectivity error when using :connect command in sqlcmd, but not when doing command line connect

I'm just starting out with sqlcmd on SQL Server 2005, enterprise edition.
I can connect to my server fine, from the command line:
sqlcmd -SSQLSERVERNAME -Q"select test=1"
However, when I create a junk.sql file that has just this one line:
:connect -SSQLSERVERNAME
...and try to run it by running the following at the command line:
sqlcmd -i C:\junk\junk.sql
...I can't even connect - I get this error:
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When c
onnecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not
allow remote connections..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.
From what I read, I thought that using the connect command should work. Am I just using it incorrectly? What I'd like to do is connect in the sql file using the connect command (eventually using variables for different servers) and then run different sql files using the :r command
Thoughts?
thanks,
Sylvia
The :connect command does not need the -S switch, just use
:connect "SQLSERVERNAME"
Okay - I was doing 2 things wrong:
** It appears that when you run sqlcmd, you must be connecting to something from the get-go. I thought I could just do this:
sqlcmd -i C:\junk\junk.sql
but I had to do this
sqlcmd -i -SServerName C:\junk\junk.sql
I didn't have a local default instance running - presumably if you have a local default instance running, there's not a problem.
** Then in the junk.sql, you can do the following
:connect ServerName
note that it's NOT
:connect -SServerName
Hope this helps!

How to access SQL Server 2005 FROM a guest XP OS running in Virtual PC

I am running as my Host OS - Win 7 x64 and running an instance of SQL Server 2005 (developer, x64). I am also running an instance of Virtual PC XP and am trying to connect to the Host OS Sql Instance without alot of luck.
I can ping the Host from the Guest OS and vice versa.
The Virtual PC Guest is not using the NAT network adapter, but the physical adapter of the machine.
I ran SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tool on the host and made sure both local and remote connections are allowed for both TCP/IP and Named pipes.
I installed the SQL Server 2005 Native client on the Guest XP OS as well as SQLCMD.
When I issue: "SQLCMD -L" I see:
Servers:
ROBSWIN7BOX
However when I try "SQLCMD -S ROBSWIN7BOX", I get:
HResult 0x52E, Level 16, State 1
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [1326].
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connection
s..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.
I've also tried various SQLCMD -S .. -U sa .. -P and SQLCMD -S ... -E (SQL Server is configured for Mixed mode authentication).
Any ideas? What am I overlooking?
THanks!
Rob
Error 0x52e: (Win32) 0x52e (1326) - Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
You need Win auth to open the named pipe. Make sure SQL port is open by firewall on host and force tcp in your connection: SQLCDM -S tcp:ROBSWIN7BOX -U user -P pwd
