SQL Enterprise manager not available in Snap-in

  • Hi,

    I was asked to work on a sql server instance where client tools are not installed. I know the only way is to create a console for SQL enterprise manager and work on it, but i do not see enterprise manager available snap-in. I only see SQL Configuration manager. Can anybody pls help in this

    Thanks,

  • Can you access this instance remotely or is there a particular reason you need to work on the server?

  • i cannot access this server remotely, thats the whole issue. I think we can configure only through SSMS to allow remote connections, pls let me know if there's any other way that i can access

    Thanks,

    You do not need SSMS for this, you can allow remote connections by executing:

    EXEC sys.sp_configure N'remote access', N'1'

    GO

    RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE

    GO

    do you have anything to connect to this database and execute queries? sqlcmd/custom application/etc?

  • I do not have anything to connect to this server instance, all i know is only SSMS which i am not able to connect through. I get this while connect through SSMS

    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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

    Let me know is there any other way that i can connect.

  • I tried with SQLCMD from my system using -S option to connect to the server, but i got this error

  • The issue is resolved. The instance is not running in default port, so it worked when i connected with the port number.

    Thanks
