connect to remote sql server failed

I couldn’t connect to the sql server instance (10.192.130.80\development2 and
10.192.130.80\development3) remotely on enterprise manager and query
analyzer. The error is sql server does not exist or access denied. I setup
well in the client network utility and put sever name and port number in it.
But I still got same error. Could someone give me some tips what reason is?
thanks.
Can you ping those servers?

Connect to remote RS in SSMS

Got following error when try to connect to remote reporting service in SSMS:

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient)

BUTTONS:

OK

No problem to connect to reporting service in SSMS on RS box locally. Use windows authentication with same account in both case. How to configure that? Thanks.

Odd - You're logged in on as the same user on both computers? Are both computers in the same domain?

Can you access the report server in a web browser from the remote computer?

If you can, try this:

in the SSMS connection dialog. Replace machine\instance in the server textbox with the URL to your report server, e.g. http://yourserver/reportserver.

Does that work?

Another thing to try is to change the Authentication Type to Digest in Management Studio when logging in from the remote machine. Type in your windows credentials and see if you get the same error.

Looks like you're passing the Report Manager virutal directory. You need to pass the report server virtual directory.

By default these are:

Report Manager: http://localhost/reports

Report Server: http://localhost/reportserver

Connect To Oracle 10g 64 Bit using SQL Server Integration Services 2005 64 Bit

I am trying to create a oracle 10g connection in SSIS using connection manager and i am getting the following error,

Test Connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Oracle client and networking

components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle corporation and are part of the

Oracle version 7.3.3 or later client software installation.

Provider is unable to function until these components are installed.

Can someone please help.

Thanks.

If your operating System and VS2005 are 32bits then you need to download and install the Oracle 10g client for Windows 32bits, when I last downloaded it was more than 1gig install it and create your connection to the database make sure your TNS ORA works before adding SSIS connection to Oracle. The client tools are free but you need an Oracle Technet account which you can create for free. The Developer is also free it let you see Oracle tables and databases. If you are in an employer's network I find connecting with Named Pipes is easier than TCP/IP. One more thing watch the installer. Hope this helps.

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html

I forgot to add you must compile your code with AnyCPU.

|||

Thanks for your reply Caddre..

But.. i have MS 2003 64 bit OS.. i have installed oracle 10g 64 bit server.. i can successfully connect thru sqlplus.. no problem...

I am missing something on SQL 2005 and i am not sure what it is...

|||

So you are saying you have installed Oracle 10g 64bits client tools in the box? I know connecting through SQL plus does not solve development connection issue you need the client tools in your box this time 64bits. Another thing you are not missing anything but I think VS2005 unless you buy 64bits full version is 32bits that is not all your setup is 64bits, so you need to either make it all 64bits or develop in 32bits and deploy in 64bits because I read there are issues known issues.

|||

yes - as far as i know all are 64bit

I cannot connect thru both providers - OLEDB and Net Oracle client

|||

Try this recent Microsoft support article steps, I will still look for more info.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255084

|||

Hi Caddre,

Either you can have a look at summarized article here. or You may look for "Getting SSIS Packages To Run On A 64 Bit Box" in Sutha Thiru's Blog .

Thanks

Subhash Subramanyam

thanks subash.. awesome..

those articles helped me to fix the issue...

appreciate yours and caddre help on this..

|||I am glad to see your problem is resolved and Subhash thanks for the articles much appreciated.

Confused...SA Account

Hi
I have a two node cluster with SQL2000 SP3. When the node1 fails over to
node2, the SQL Server Agent fails. The log file says "Login Failed for user
'sa'" I don't understand how the SA account can fail on node2 and not on
node1. Can anyone shed some light on this and possibly how to resolve the
issue.
Thank You
Marc
What security account context is the SQL Agent running under? Is it a domain account and does it have adequate permissions/rights on both nodes?
|||Hi Stephen
SQL security is set for "SQL Server and Windows" and the service account is
in the Domain Admins group. Same service account is used for both nodes.

|||Is the SQL Server Agent startup account a member of the local admin group
on both nodes. If you are using SQL Server authentication for SQL Server
Agent to connect to SQL Server then the SQL Server Agent startup account
has to be a local Admin.
You can check the SQL Agent connection properties by right clicking on SQL
Server Agent - Properties - Connection and see how the connection to SQL
Server is set up.

As it turns out, one of our programmers changed the authentication method to

Configuring SQL Express -- getting login failed exception

I have a machine with Windows XP Pro w/SP 2, IIS, SQL Server Express and Visual Studio 2005 installed. When I attempt to open a database from an ASPX page, I'm getting an exception with the message:

"Cannot open database "Tasks" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'MYDEV\ASPNET'."

I've searched the web and found a number of pages that talk about the "Login failed for MACHINE\ASPNET" issue, but I didn't find any with a solution.

For your information (in case it makes any difference), the computer is connected to a domain. And the authentication methods for the virtual directory (in IIS) is configured for "Anonymous access" and "Integrated Windows authentication."

Does anyone know how to configure SQL Server Express (or is it IIS?) so the web page can access the database?

RichardR

Okay, I found a solution.

For anyone else experiencing this problem, here's what I did:

First, I installed the November CTP of SQL Server Management Studio Express.

Then, I added the account MACHINENAME\ASPNET under Security | Logins. I did a right-mouse click on the ASPNET login name and clicked on Properties.

This brought up the Login Properties page for ASPNET. I mapped the ASPNET account to my database selecting the database in the "Default Database" dropdown.

In order for the stored procedures to execute, I also needed to check the db_owner box under the Mappings tab.

Finally, I needed to change the connection string to:

Data Source=MYDEV\SQLEXPRESS;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=False;initial catalog=Tasks;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False

Hope this helps anyone else encountering this problem.

Does anyone know how to configure SQL Server Express (or is it IIS?) so the web page can access the database?

RichardR

Okay, I found a solution.

For anyone else experiencing this problem, here's what I did:

First, I installed the November CTP of SQL Server Management Studio Express.

Then, I added the account MACHINENAME\ASPNET under Security | Logins. I did a right-mouse click on the ASPNET login name and clicked on Properties.

This brought up the Login Properties page for ASPNET. I mapped the ASPNET account to my database selecting the database in the "Default Database" dropdown.

In order for the stored procedures to execute, I also needed to check the db_owner box under the Mappings tab.

Finally, I needed to change the connection string to:

Data Source=MYDEV\SQLEXPRESS;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=False;initial catalog=Tasks;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False

Hope this helps anyone else encountering this problem.

Configuring SQL Express -- getting login failed exception

I have a machine with Windows XP Pro w/SP 2, IIS, SQL Server Express and Visual Studio 2005 installed. When I attempt to open a database from an ASPX page, I'm getting an exception with the message:

"Cannot open database "Tasks" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'MYDEV\ASPNET'."

Configuring reporting services

Hello Experts,

I have this problem when i go to http://<servername>/reprots

"The attempt to connect to the report server failed.Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible "

I dont have any problem viewing the deployed reports from the site, http://<servername>/reportserver. only issue is in viewing report manager.

i have searched the forums and did all the suggested changes required in the config file, by adding the full report url and removing the entries in the virtualdirectory tag. still it didnt help....

would be great if someone suggests.

regards,

lakshman.

Hi Lakshman,

Is it RS 2000 or 2005? In RS 2005, you can use RS config tool to see if all sections are correctly configured. If not, fix the problems using the config tool and try again.

Thanks,
Sharmila

Hi Sharmila,

Thanks for the reply.

Its RS2005. I am pretty new to the subject, can you please guide about using the RSConfig tool. Or resources where i can find the subject.

Best Regards,

Lakshman.

Hi Sharmila,

At the command prompt, I have done the following actions:

C:\>rsconfig -c -s iplserver -d iplserver -a SQL -u sa -p P@.ssword123445
The command completed successfully

C:\>iisreset
Attempting stop...
Internet services successfully stopped
Attempting start...
Internet services successfully restarted

C:\>

when i try to access the report manager, the error persists.

pl let me know if i have to do something else.

many thanks,

lakshman.

Hi Lakshman,

To access the config tool, go to Start ->All Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server -> Configuration Tools -> Reporting Services Configuration. Make sure that all sections are configured properly. You should see a green check mark. Please try this and let me know.

Thanks,
Sharmila

Is it safe to assume the mispelling of Reports is only here in the forums?

|||

oops, i wrote it wrong here in the thread, but i was spelling it correctly when i am testing...

Sharmila, thanks for the msg, I have checked that one and got to see that there is a blue exclamation for the "Encryption Keys". and the initialization is not done, i find a red cross. but rest all are okay with a green check mark.

i am not even able to access it the Initialization tab as its giving an error message,

plz help, or just guied me to a resource where i can have all this information..

i appreciate all your time and efforts,

lakshman.

Hi,

I have installed the SQL SP2 on the server, and now the server is properly initialized. now i see a green check mark on all the tabs.

But unfortunately the problem still persists. I am seeing the same error:

The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version.

when i attempt to go to http://<reportserver>/reports

what could be the problem?

many thanks,

lakshman.

Hi Lakshman,

Can you please take a look at the RS logs located here - %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.x\Reporting Services\LogFiles and see what you can find around the same time you see the error or can you include information from the logs?

Thanks,
Sharmila

Configure SQL Server for application services

While using aspnet_regsql.exe to configure SQL Server for application services, the following error pops up: Failed to query a list of databases names from the SQLserver. Cannot initilaize SSPI package". The page is "Select the Server and Database". Please advise. Thanks.

First, check out the time synchronization between your client machine and the database server. Some SSPI issue may be raised if there is a large time disparity.

You can also check this KB to see whether it helps:

If this doesn't work, you may need to learn something more complex about troubleshooting SSPI issues:
