Muliprotocol Encryption with Firewall ?

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a connection between a remote SQL server 2000 and Query
Analyser using an encrypted Multiprotocol connection but because the SQL
server is sitting behind a firewall I'm having trouble finding a way to
connect - is there any way to specify the port that the SQL server listens
on for this protocol rather than the default random assignment ?
Thanks,
Dave.Any reason you can't use SSL ? Just wondering why you are using
multiprotocol as it is really just included in SQL2000 for backwards
compatability.

mssql8 AND mssql 2005

I have both 8 and 2005 installed on a windows 2003 server. However from a remote machine I can only see the 2005 instance. Is there a configuration I have missed or is this not possible?Are you using SQL Server 2005 Management Studio to connect to a remote database engine? If so, you may wanna try to select <Browse for more...> option from the Server Name dropdown list and then switch to the Network Servers tab. Let me know how you're getting along.|||I can see both instances on the Windows 2003 system and can connect to the v8 thru sql server management as you suggest. My issue is a remote machine with only 8's client cannot connect to the mssql v8 instance.|||Are you getting any error at all? Try to quickly create a .udl file on the remote machine to see if you could make and test a connection to the server.|||I get a server not found message.|||How did you name your 2000 and 2005 instances on the same box?|||2005 = server
other is server\server2003|||And server\server2003 is not visible from 2000 client, right?|||Yes. I wonder if I should name it something else maybe it doesn;t like that name. Maybe OldSQL?|||

Try to name it without slash. I doubt though it'll help. I once experienced a very funny problem with my replication whereby the distributor wouldn't connect to the subscriber. I had to enable Naming Pipes on the subscriber via the SQL config console to fix it. Just a thought.|||Tried the name pipes didn;t help. Don;t think I can rename it as the machine is called server which is where that comes from shoulf just be server2003 to connect. Going to move this db to a different machine and not worry about it anymore. Chalk it up to a 2005 quirk I think.|||Thanx for your help anyway.|||Good luck to you. Sorry couldn't help you better. Try to search in MSDN troubleshooting articles.|||I had to change the port for the mssql8 version to get it to work.

mssql2000 on emc mirrorview volume

Hello!

Does anybody know whether mssql2000 and emc mirrorvew _certified_ for
joint work?

(Mirrorview is a fc-based remote mirroring solution)

I mean is it supported from the MS point of view to put mssql
datafiles on emc mirrorview volumes?

For example Oracle corp. has "Oracle Compatible Remote Mirroring
Technologies" certification.

But what about MS?inq_3@.hotmail.com (Inquisitive) wrote in message news:<85197477.0407110459.26c9b313@.posting.google.com>...

I have no idea about that specific piece of hardware, but you might
want to ask EMC if it's certified for use with MSSQL (or indeed ask
Microsoft also). Microsoft's attitude appears to be that you can use
any hardware you want, but if it's not WHQL certified, then problems
will be referred back to the vendor:

http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...1&Product=sql2k

You could also want to look at "Snapshot Backups" in Books Online, if
that's relevant to what you're trying to do.

mssql remote gui

Can anyone recommend a FREE Microsoft SQL Server GUI that I can use to
run some basic queries and browse tables for a remote MSSQL database.
I installed the freeware from TOAD, but it screwed up my computer, I
am really looking for something light weight, nothing fancy needed,
for some basic queries and browsing. If I connect to the server I use
the Enterprise Manager, but really didn't want to have to install a
copy of MSSQL on my local machine just to use the Enterprise Manager
if there was a good free GUI.
Thanks

just install the Client tools & Connectivity. IT should give you just the

MSSQL Remote Access: Can't find solution after 6 hours of searching...

Hello,
I'm trying to access the MSSQl 'remotey'. I open telnet and go to 127.0.0.1 1433 but can't. It seems I have done everything I can to fix it, but nothing solves the problem.

My firewall is disabled.

I have TCP/IP enabled in "SQL Server Configuration Manager" for both Client Protocol and protocols for MSSSQLSERVER (Shared Memory and NAmed Pipes are also both enabled). VIA is disabled.

In SQL Services, SQL Server Integration Services, Full Text Searc, SQL Server, SQL Server Analysis Services, and Server Browser are running. SQL Server Agent is disabled.

In Server Surface Area configuration, under Database Engine is running (automatic) and "Remote Connections" is enabled to TCP/IP and named pipes. Analysis Service has Local and Remote connections checked and is running (automatic). SQL Server agent is stopped.

Integration Services is running (Automatic) SQL Server Browser is running. (Automatic)

When I look in the error log, it shows...

Date 1/4/2007 3:21:45 AM

Server is listening on [ 'any' <ipv4> 1433].

I have tried to telnet to port 1434 and 1433 but nothing happens. Does anyone know what else I need to be able to access that port?

Thanks
FoleyOh yeah, this is with SQL Server 2005, Windows XP

Thanks.|||

MSSQL ODBC (SQL) connection issue (sqlstate 2800)

I am trying to make an ODBC connection to a MSSQL 2K server on a remote machine. I am using the SQL Server driver and can see the server in the drop down list when asked which server I would like to connect to. I am using SQL authentication over TCP/IP.

The error occurs when ODBC tries to connet to SQL server to obtain the default settings. The error I receive is as follows:

Connection Failed;
sqlstate '28000';
sql server error: 18456;
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'XXXX'

I have tried setting up alternate SQL Server users with varying security rights on the server but am not able to setup the ODBC connection.

I am setting the ODBC connection up on a windows XP SP2 machine.
The remote server is running Windows server 2003 (patched upto date) and MS SQL server 2K (SP3). The connection is over a LAN and does not pass through any firewalls (hardware or software). I can create the ODBC connection without issue locally on the server.

This is my first time creating an ODBC connection to a Windows 2003 Server and I am wondering if there is some additional config I may have missed out.

Many thanks.what authentication mode is your sql server running in? windows only or mixed mode?|||The server is running in mixed mode for this instance. I have tried connecting using windows authentication, but the connection times out at the same stage as above.

Many thanks.|||1. make sure that you can ping the server
2. Open your Security\Logins, check the "Database Access" and "Server Roles" that are set to the correct setting.
