connection failed,check sql server registration properties

  • HI

    when i want to connect local sql server2000 from my local system to create or open database

    iam getting this error

    connection failed,check sql server registration properties

    pls suggest what to do

    Thanks in advance

  • Check the server properties and use mixed mode of authentication.(assuming u are connecting through sql login).

    Also check the protocols are enabled or not?

  • need more help

    i tried with mixed authentication but not working

    any othere solutions pls

  • try osql and see what error you are getting

    osql -E -S server_name

    or

    osql -U username -P password -S servername

    It seems you have forcefully registered that server in enterprise manager, and now it will always say "connection failed, check you registration", no matter what the error is.

    And also, please delete that registration and register the server again.
