Unable to connect sql server

  • hi guys,

    While connecting to sql server named instance we are getting following error:

    A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 233)

    reply......thnx

  • The error "(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 233)" is because the SQL Server client cannot connect to the server. This error could occur because the server is not configured to accept remote connections.

  • You may want to try this steps.

    1. Log on to the machine where the sql server instance resides.

    2. Start SSMS. Use windows authentication (assuming your account have access to the server).

    3. Right click the instance and choose properties.

    4. Select Connections on the left pane.

    5. Tick "Allow remote connections to this server". found on the right side.

    6. Click ok button.

    7. Close ssms and logoff to the server.

    8. Access the sql instance again using ssms from a remote server.

    Let me know if this works.
