    Can you tell me where to find this entry in SMS ?

    "Please enable named piped protcol in sql server."

    Thanks

    Jim

    The protocols are not in SMS but in Configuration manager under Network Configuration then Protocols. I am only running SQL Server 2012 so I am assuming it is the same in 2005.

    Kind regards,
