Default Instance Connection Problem

  • Dear,

    I installed three instances of SQL SERVER 2008 R2 on my test server. One is default instance stored in C drive and another twos are named instance stored in D drive.

    If I replica from default instance to another server, it works fine until I shut down the test server. After that when I start test server and try to login in default instance, I can not access. An error message is generated like "A network-related or instance-specific error..."

    This problem is occurred for Database Engine and Reporting Services.

    To resolve it, I repaired the default instance and tried to log in then it worked. But every time I face the same problem when I shutdown the test server. I need a permanent solution.

    Please help me to get rid of this stack.

    Regards,

    Akbar

  • Hi,

    If you have several instances running on one machine ensure that your SQL Browser Service is running, if it's not then this may be your problem.

    Thanks,
