Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0 : Unable to complete login process due to delay in opening server connection

  • Hi Everyone,

    Since moving to SQL Server 2008, we have experienced intermitted connection problems while using sqlcmd to execute stored procedures in a .cmd script. The error that occurs is "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0 : Unable to complete login process due to delay in opening server connection". The .cmd script is stored locally on the database server and the sqlcmd command uses the -E option to connect to the instance. I believe sqlcmd uses the OLE DB provider when run from the command line...Could the provider be the issue? Is there anyway to have sqlcmd use a different provider? Maybe use the SQL Server provider instead of SQL Server Native Client 10.0 provider?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

  • We are having the same problem with SQL 2005. IF we use the -U -P switches instead of -E, the command connects instantly. Unfortunately, our process requires Windows Authentication. Any ideas, beside DC communication issues, that might be causing this error?
