ssms connect to database engine hangs

  • After installing Oracle 11g client on our server I can no longer connect to SSMS database engine. I can connect to Reporting Services, Analysis Services and Integration Services but not the database engine.

    I tried restaring MSSQLSERVER and it timed out.

    Have I messed up my SQL Server client tools somehow? Can I just reinstall the tools?

    Any ideas on what I can check? Or correct? It's SQL Server 2008 R2, sandard ed, 64 bit.

    Any idease are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Can you check the error log, what message you get.

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\ERRORLOG

  • No error messages are in the log. I saw the time out messages in the Event View system log.

    A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the MSSQLSERVER service.

  • Rebooting the server seems to have fixed it. Thanks very much.

  • You are welcome 🙂

    you should start a new thread on this, but you should be able to bring that instance up in single user mode, and then use SQLCMD to add a sysadmin:
