SQL Server 2008 is not accessible from Windows Server 2008 ?
- by Albert Widjaja
Hi,
I have successfully configured Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP2 with SQL Server 2008 Enterprise SP2 all 64 bit,
however when I tried to access this particular SQL Server 2008 DB instance from another SQL Server 2008 SSMS in another Windows Server 2008 it failed ?
what I did is to disabled the IPv6 IP address using the regedit but still the problem hasn't been fixed even after restart ?
I have enabled the named piped as well but still no luck ?
any help please ?
Here's the error message: "
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
