Cant connect to named instance remotely

  • Hello,

    First and foremost thatnks for your time and efforts in hopefully helping me solve the situation i have below.

    The problem is i am not able to connect remotely to the named instance on this particualr server. I have made sure the SQL Browser Services are running as i have read in a couple of other blogs on the site. I have made sure all the "remote" connection areas have been set properly to allow these types of connections and restarted the services /reboot many times to no avail. The following is the successful connection to the default instance with the named instance below that errored out. Any ideas would be greatful.

    Thanks Again...

  • The issue was that the named instance needs to be on a separate port and then you are able to connect. example below

    bash-3.2$ sqlcmd -S tcp:wcosdbm2,1400 -d scom_support -E /Q sp_spaceused

    database_name database_size unallocated space

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    reserved data index_size unused
