SQL Server named instance problem with Windows Server 2003


SQL Server named instance problem with Windows Server 2003 Soheil

sql server connect:
Hi,

I have installed SQL Server 2000 on a Windows Server 2003 machine with an
instance name of "TestDB".
But I cannot connect to this instance from another machines. It doen't even
show up in the Enterprise Manager's
"Register SQL Server" window.

But if I use the default instance, it works. Windows 2000 servers do not
have this problem either.

Thanks in advance,
Soheil

Hi
Pls take a look at sp_addlinkedserver stored procedure in the BOL. You are
going to create a linked server to the instance

I do not want to link servers, I just want to connect to this server from a
windows application.

Regards,
Soheil

Doesn't work. I get the "SQL Server doesn't exist or access denied".

How do you connect to the instance ? With Windows Authentication or Mixed
one?

Did you get the same error when you connect via Windows Authentication?

I use Mixed mode.
Using Windows Authentication alone doesnt work neither.

Did you start the instance?
sqlservr.exe -c -s {instancename}

Hi

Do you really install the instance as it described in "How to install a
named instance of SQL Server 2000 (Setup)"?

If you do , I have no idea what is going on , sorry.

I did just some testing on my machine and it worked fine.

Please don't cross-post like this. I see about 9 groups that are on the
list that have *nothing* to do with SQL or this problem. (such as IPsec)
