VIA Protocol and how to disable

  • Hi

    I have a SQL 2005 server I am testing on, and I tried to apply SP1 onto it.

    I had a problem when I couldn't remember the authentication (sa password).

    So cancelled in the proper way. Now my server won't start. I get the "could not spawn FRunCM error in eventvwr, and I believe this is related to me having the VIA protocol enabled.

    So I believe I need to disable this protocol, but I can't find it.....

    Please can anyone help?

    Many Thanks

  • To disable the VIA protocol go into the SQL server configuration manager on the server and look under network configuration -> protocols.  For more info look at this ms article:

  • I also cannot start SQL Server database engine and have the same error with message SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread. However, VIA protocol is not enabled.

    A previous error in the log states that 'TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x2740 status code 0x1.

    What does that mean??

  • I went into that option SQL server Configuration Manager, in there under SQL Native Client Configuration are Client Protocols and in there should be VIA, right click and disable.

  • As it turned out, a Windows Server 2003 security update changed the firewall settings. To reset, right click on your internet connection and select the Advanced tab, then Settings button, then the Exceptions tab. Click Add port. For name: SQL Server, port: 1433, TCP selected. Click OK. Click Add port. For name: SQL Server Browser, port: 1433, UDP selected. Click OK until you are out of the program. Worked for me.

  • I have disabled the VIA services but still not able to start sql server 2005

  • Under SQL Server 2008, I had to disable VIA in two locations before SQL Server would start.

    In SQL Server Configuration Manager:

    1. SQL Native Client 10.0 Configuration -> Client Protocols

    2. SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols for Network MSSQLSERVER
