CONNECT TO SERVER PROBLEM

I am getting this message when trying to connect to SQL SERVER 2005;
An error has occurred while establishing connection to the server.When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections(provider:shared memory provider , error 40-could not open a connection to SQL Server)(MicrosoftSQL SERVER, Error: 2)
Can anyone help to fix this problem please

Are you using SQL Express? If so, you need to enable remote connections. They are disabled by default.

Thanks,
Sam Lester (MSFT)

|||SQL SERVER 2005, STANDART

On the server execute these statements:

sp_configure 'remote admin connections', 1

go

reconfigure

go

Then you should be able to connect from a client workstation.

Connect to Database in SQL 2005 Express

I am trying to connect to the sample databases in SQL Express. I am getting this error.

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: Name Pipes Provider, error: 40 - could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)

I have downloaded and installed AdventureWorks, Northwind, and Pubs. If I have to allow remote connections how do I do that? I am a studen and I am brand new at this.

first ensure the sample database you wish to use is registered (some of the samples must first be attached from the D/L .mdf files).

second startup the SURFACE AREA CONFIG TOOL via the start menu. after the splash screen display click on the configure services and connections link.

select the Remote Connection node in the tree and select the second radio button to enable remote connections.

if you still have problems you should look at the protocols your sql server has enabled and which protocol format you are using to connect.

1. Open SQL Server Configuration Manager under "Microsoft SQL Sever 2005" "Configuration Tools"

2. Navigate to "Sql Server 2005 Network Configuration" --"Protocols for SQL2005"

3. Enable "Shared Memory" , "Named Pipes" & "TCP/IP"

This should solve the problem

|||I figured it out. I feel stupid now. I just had to right click on database and click attach. Then click add. This brought me out to the windows hierarchy where I was able to find the Northwind database and click on it to add it.|||

Configuring Distributor

I keep getting the error message:
An error occurred during decryption.
There is no remote user 'distributor_admin' mapped to local user '(null)'
from the remote server 'repl_distributor'.
Changed database context to 'master'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15466)
I have tried a local server account (as BOL describes), I have tried using
my own SQL account (that has sa priviliges of course), I have even tried the
domain account that runs SQL Agent service (despite the note right there on
the screen that recommends not to!). I get this error at the end of all the
steps whether I try to create a new publication or if I try to configure the
publisher.
ANY help would be appreciated!!
Is this SQL 2005? And is it part of an upgrade? SQL Server 2000 used a
remote server called repl_distributor which uses the distributor admin
account. In SQL Server 2005 this has been replaced by a linked server. In
some cases I have seen the upgrade of a replication topology with a remote
distributor does not work successfully.
In my cases I had to add the linked server and password manually, IIRC.

An error occurred during decryption.
Funny, I tried looking up this error number when all this first happened
(notice below, the text is a little different from my original error) and I
got nothing in my serarch results from Microsoft. I was able to get this to
work on another server, so at least I know it is some internal setting
specific to this server...Any ideas?
REALLY appreciate your help so far!!

|||Hilary,
Should this linked server be created on the distributor, or the subscriber,
or both? I am seeing a similar error when trying to setup replication in my
production environment, although it worked fine in test (currently being
rebuilt, so I have no comparison to use atm). I am thinking this might be a
part of my problem.
