SQL server 2005 installation issue

  • Hi i had installed SQL server 2005 in my box but when i try to connect the default instance i am able to connect it thru IP address or by typing '.' but when i use the host name it is showing a error in connectivity wat could be the reason

    Note: i am selecting the hostname by clicking the browse button in server name drop down

  • connect using the ip or ".", then in a query run SELECT @@SERVERNAME.

    is this name the same as your host?

  • Yes it is the same as the hostname..... i am getting a error like this "network related issue or instance specific error verify instance name is correct or it is allowed to establish a remote connections"

  • What happens when you try with the full name (including the Domain)?

    For E.g. ServerName.ad.dev

  • still it is not connecting ... because of this my service pack installation is getting failed at authorization check

  • are you sure you connecting to correct server or no one changed the name of the server using 'sp_dropserver and sp_addserver'.

    The problem could be that someone chaged the server name to new name and when you running @@servername, its giving you the new name while in connection it will accept only the name which you provided during installation.

  • is it possible to view the previous hostname declared while installation.....????? bcos of this my service pack installation is getting stopped....can you help me to get rid of this

  • if you remember your old name then :-

    1) open dos prompt (CMD)

    2) type... sqlcmd -L > C:\serverlist.txt

    3) Once it finish, go to your C drive and open serverlist.txt. You will see the servername there and will be able to see your real server name(if you remember) or if its not big list then you can try to connect on each one.

  • it is listing only one server..."CMS" and that is wat i am trying connect and it fails

  • if you connect your sql server from sqlcmd, are you getting any error:-

    try with this syntax

    sqlcmd -S yourservername -E

  • I am getting the below error when i try executing the cmd

    HResult 0x274C, Level 16, State 1

    TCP Provider: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly

    respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because

    connected host has failed to respond.

    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.

    Note : i have 1 aliases name in sql configuration manager i had furnished the details of that

    aliases name : same as server name

    Protocol : TCP/IP

    Servername : Servername(hostname)

  • can you remove the alias or change it to something else.

    As well can you see your server properties and it have 'Allow remote connection....' as enabled.
