[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Timeout expired

  • Hello -

    I am getting this error when just trying to connect to query analyzer.

    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Timeout expired

    It was working fine yesterday.

    If I go into ENterprise manager, I go down to databases and it will not expand databases.

    I have restarted SQL server and done a complete reboot multiple times.

    Any idea what could have happened??

    HELP!!

  • check it, if any network issue happened.

    Thanks & Regards

  • Did any of the configurations change?

    Try using the command line OSQL.exe to connect and troubleshoot

    osql.exe -S SerververName -E

    If that does not help try starting the SQL Server from the command line using sqlservr.exe

  • I have seen this happen with certain models of servers, when SQL Server is practically idle- you can check your firmware is up to date (if SQL itself looks ok).

  • when you connect to the db server. you can use ip address instead of servername. It's an other way

    to connect the database server.
