About login SQL Server Management Studio

  • Hi folks,

    Windows server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64 bit

    SQL server 2008 64 bit

    This is a newly installed box.

    Start -> SQL Server Management Studio

    SQL Server can be login with following settings;

    Server type: Database Engine

    Server name: (local)

    Authentication: Windows Authentication

    User name: WSER2008R202\Administrator (greyout)

    Password: (greyout)

    But I can't login with;

    Authentication: SQL Server Authentication.

    The login name and password taken down during installation can't work.

    On the drop-list of Server name:(local)/(local)/<Browse for more ....>

    Local Servers - Empty

    Network Servers - (... Retrieving data)

    Database Engine

    -> WSER2008R202 (10.50) (highlight it) -> OK

    login: administrator

    Warning:-

    TITLE: Connect to Server

    ------------------------------

    Cannot connect to WSER2008R202.

    ------------------------------

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

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

    For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=233&LinkId=20476

    On SQL Server Management Studio

    Right click "server" -> Properties -> Connection

    (check) "Allow remote connection to this server"

    Please help. TIA

    B.R.

  • I don't think that this is the error you get when SQL authentication is turned off. If you check on the Security tab of the Properties for this SQL Server, is the radio button set to Windows and SQL Authentication?

    Is this a local instance of SQL Server? Meaning, are you logging into a SQL instance running on the machine where SSMS is running?

    Firewall perhaps?

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for your advice.

    I found out the cause. The login should be "sa" NOT "administrator" nor "Administrator" nor "WSER2008R202\Administrator"
