Cannot connect to SQL server after setting user connections to 1



Cannot connect to SQL server after setting user connections to 1 Bogdan

sql server connect: I have a problem connecting to SQL Server 2005. After I set "user
connections" to 1 and restarted sql service, I cannot connect to server
anymore. Do you have maybe any suggestion how to set "user connection" back
to 0? It's a SQL Server 2005 Standard with SP1 in two node cluster.

Thanks!

Disconnect the network to make sure nobody can log in and then set SQL Agent
to manual start to make sure it doesn't grab your only connection. Also
look for any other services that might be grabbing the connection. Stop and
start the SQL service and see if you can get in. Good luck.

Note - this assumes you are running SQL Server 2000. If you are running SQL
Server 2005 you can use the administration connection to get in.

Thanks for suggestion about DAC. Unfortunately DAC (Dedicated Administrator
Connection) is not enabled on cluster configuration by default and I can't
enable DAC (execute the remote admin connection option of sp_configure)
without connecting to SQL, but I can't do that because of only 1 permited
connection, which is obviously taken by some process (I've tried disconect
network and second cluster node, but it didn't help). It looks like the only
solution is to reinstall SQL Server :-(.

Regards,
Bogdan

web sites and software manufacturers should get a smart "neo-user"

to try out software before it is released. This smart "neo-user" should not
know members of the developing team for obvious reasons.

Try checking the SQL Server error log at <your path such as C:\Program
Files\> Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG. It probably lists
the login which has grabbed the connection which may give you some more
ideas.

thanks! When I finally discover the concept, many questions on this forum
will be answered.
