sql 2005 mirroring connectin problem

  • Hi all,

    I am trying to set up db mirroring between 2 servers and I have everything pretty much set but only problem so far is connecting to mirrored server. When I go through the "Configure Security" setup I connect to the mirrored server using server name "sqlsvr2" and user/password that has access to the endpoint. After this is finished it automatically enters TCP://sqlsvr2:5022 in to the address bar, which it doesn't like, so I change it to TCP://sqlsvr2.domain.com:5022 but then I get no connection when I try to start the mirror. sqlsvr2.domain.com pings just fine and also responds to telnet on port 5022. I even tried using the IP address for tcp connection but it's not connecting. Also when I use t-sql to connect I get same error.

    What am I missing here?

  • Anyone, pllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeease!!!!

  • Hi

    what is the error you are getting? are all the sql services running under the same account?

  • The error is "The server network address: "TCP://sqlsvr2.domain.com" can not be reached or does not exists. Check the network address name and that he ports for the local and remote endpoints are operational. (Microsoft SQL Server, error: 1418)"

    Yes sql services are running under the same account.

  • Hi use the configure mirroring wizard . when it gets to the section where you choose the witness server, make a note of the EndPoint name where the box is greyed out then cancel the wizard. now connect to the witness server and execute the following command

    DROP ENDPOINT

    Then re-try the wizard
