Could not open a connection to SQL server error on Vista

Hey,

After install Visual Studio 2005 (with SQL sever express) on recent Vista build, trying to connect to a local sse database file from Data Source Window (accessible from Data/Show data source window) gives this error:

Microsoft Visual Studio

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

OK

No issues if we install Visual Studio 2005 on WinXP or W2k3.

Is there any configuration we need to set on vista to allow sql connection?

Thanks,

Mei

Not having tried Vista I don't know if there are special issues there, but by default SQL Server instances are installed with the external interfaces disabled. Use SQL Server Configuration Manager to enable the protocols (if they are not enabled already). This can also be done with the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tool.

If this does not help, see my blog (www.betav.com\blog\billva)

You will have to enable SQLBrowser service.

See more details here:

I have the same problem. If you have found a solution to the problem, then let me know.

Could not find stored procedure

Hi -
I've been advised to run a few scripts located in my SQL Install directory
(messages, sp1_serv_uni, sp2_serv_uni, sp3_serv_uni), and I'm not sure how.
When I use Query Analyzer and run 'EXEC messages.sql', I get a 'Could not
find stored procedure' error. I'm using the master database, but these
procedures are not in that (or any other) database. How can I run them?
Thanks for your help.
- Jeff
Jeff,
You need to open the scripts to run them. File->Open, just like with any
other text editor, then you can run whatever's in the files.

out to the command line and run osql ... see Books Online for information,
but it might look something like this:
osql -E -S (local) -i c:\path\messages.sql

Could IIS and SQL Server in two machine

I install my Reporting in a server of Sql server and IIS together.
I found the server is too busy.
Could I install reporting service in another server that without Sql server.You definitely can. You important point, you need a license anywhere you
install the server component of Reporting Services. You can install the
report designer anywhere you want but when you install the server you need
to have a license, regardless of whether SQL Server DB is running on the
same box or not.

will however need a license for both machines then.

Could I Install SP1 on windows xp

I have sql server 2005 standard edition.I have downloaded sp1 but can't able to install.I want's to know could i install it on windows xp.as on the page of sp1 i have read that it is for longhorn and vista.

I have the problem of creating diagram of my db.When i run

ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::pubs TO [kamranshahid\yukon]

it gives me the error.

Cannot find the principal 'kamranshahid\yukon', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.

I can't able to resolve it by command.I can't able to install sp1.What else can i do should I trash my sql server 2005 standard edition.

It seems you have 2 problems;

1/ Can't install SP1 of SQL Server 2005 on a copy of Std running on Win XP, correct? If so whats the error?

2/ You can't create diagrams on your RTM instance, correct? is 'kamranshahid\yukon' a user in the database? what perms does it have? what user are you logged in as an what perms do you have?
