Limiting User Connection From A Specific Server

  • Hi,

    We are running SQL Server 2008r2 SP2 Standard Edition.

    Connections into an instance came in from various application servers. Connections from a specific server are causing us performance issues. Is there any way with 2008r2 Standard Edition to limit the number of connections from a specific location. Connections from other servers are not causing us issues.

    I am assuming this cannot be done at Standard Edition and we'd require Enterprise and Resource Governor.

    Thanks in advance.

    Rick.

  • Resource Governor would be a perfect fit for this.

    In Standard Edition there's not much you can do. You could refuse connections from an application server in a logon trigger, but that would cause errors in the application and I have no idea whether that is ok for you or not.

    However, instead of limiting resources or refusing connections, I think you should try to identify the root cause of the performance issues and fix them. Have you tried that?
