How to Connect to SSIS on a Remote Server?

  • I have an SSIS server in another state.  I can connect to SSIS in SQL Management Studio locally when I use terminal service to connect to the server.  From my computer in local office in California I cannot connect to that server, getting the error "RPC server is unavailable".  I have no problem connecting to SQL service on that server; the firewall between my office and the server in other state is not an issue.  We set the firewall to accept traffic on all ports if coming from our office.  I followed the link here http://www.sqljunkies.com/WebLog/knight_reign/archive/2006/01/05/17769.aspx but it didn't work after I made the changes.  I found very little instructions from MSDN to setup this type of connection and none is working for me.  Do you guys know how to make the connection work?  Thanks.

  • Have you launched the surface area configuration tool and enabled remote connections unde the database engine? By default SSIS runs under NT AUTHORITY\Network Service - try changing to a domain account.  Hope this helps.

  • Tom,

    The remote connections is already enabled.  I changed the startup acct for SSIS to local admin acct;  it didn't help.

    At the remote location there are 2 servers in a workgroup.  I logged into 2 servers using a local admin acct, let's say RemoteAdmin.  Both servers have SQL and SSIS services.  SSIS services on both servers use the same local admin RemoteAdmin as startup acct.  I can connect to SSIS on local server and on the other server using the server NetBIOS name;  however from one server I cannot connect to itself and the other using the alias name.  So what role is the NetBIOS name in the conenction here?  I thought I can use the same alias name when I connect to SQL engine on the server for SSIS but I was wrong.  Both servers have TCP/IP, NamedPipes, and Shared Memory enabled.

    Given the SSIS connection works only with NetBIOS name, how do I connect to SSIS on remote server in different domain?

    Thanks.

  • I finally see the remote servers.  All I need to do is using public IP address of the server, not the alias name of the server.  How dump I was but I never thought it would work.

    Now I have the next problem.  Seeing the remote servers is one thing, the second thing I still cannot connect to the servers.  When I connect I got the error:

    Failed to retrieve data for this request.  (Microsoft.SQLServer.SmoEnum)

    The object exporter specified was not found.

    I have no clue what is wrong here.
