    Hi,

    Check if SQL Services are up and running post upgrade

    check if you were able to login to the SQL Server using SA account

    If the upgrade is successful then see if there is a permission issue [ permissions to connect to SQL might have missed out for individual users ]

    Hi Rama,

    I am able to connect SQL SERVER 2008R2 through SA but SQL SERVER 2005 is not connecting.

    All services and SQL DB are in good condition.

    It seems like you did an in-place upgrade from 2005 to 2008r2, so, why are you trying to connect to 2005 again?

    Hi Satish,

    To clear your doubt, Whenever SQL Server is upgraded to a higher version it means that the Database Engine gets upgraded to new version.

    From the user point of view nothing gets changed but only the version of the SQL Server. If anyone has a question on why they were not able to connect to SQL 2005 you can tell that the version has now upgraded to SQL 2008. And they will have the same level of access that they have in the earlier versions.

    Hope this clarifies your doubt

    Note: As a check ask your application users to try connecting to the SQL server. They shouldn't have any problems.
