I am getting the following error when I am going to create a new data source by connecting to SQL on premises database using Tableau online.
Can’t connect to Microsoft SQL Server
Detailed Error Message
There was an unknown connection error to the database. The error message below has additional information, but you might need to ask the database administrator to review the database logs. %1
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]MAX_PROVS: Error Locating Server/Instance Specified [xFFFFFFFF].
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]Login timeout expired
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible.

Any idea to solve this issue?
You will need to use 'Tableau Bridge' to connect from online to on-prem.

It's likely that you need to whitelist the Tableau Online IP addresses in your SQL Server instance. See the link for the addresses.

I have recently joined a new company and I have a project where I am trying to connect a Microsoft SQL Server to Power BI to automate a report and I am running into some issues. I have successfully connected the server to a SQL environment in DBeaver so I know that the host name and port number are correct.
I have not successfully created an ODBC connection for though I have tried. Using the System DSN, I have tried both the SQL Server and the ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server and both failed connecting. With the SQL Server option, I made up a name and user the following format for the server host:port and then used my windows NT credentials on the next page and left everything else as default all the way through testing the connection. I got the below error for this one:
Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver Version 10.00.19041
Running connectivity tests...
Attempting connection
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]Invalid connection.
TESTS FAILED!
For the ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server option, I did the same settings with defaults and I got the below error:
Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server Version 17.04.0000
Running connectivity tests...
Attempting connection
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]SQL Server Network Interfaces: Connection string is not valid [87].
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]Login timeout expired
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online.
TESTS FAILED!
When I try and import the data into Power BI using the SQL Server option, and I put the host:port into the server slot and the SQL in its place, it then ask for me to sign in. I am using my windows credentials which is accurate and so I press connect and I get the below error:
"The server name provided doesn't match the server name on the sql server ssl certificate
Please contact your administrator or see the link below for more information. Alternatively,
you could change your Connection encryption settings. Would you like to continue using an
unencrypted connection?"
I am not sure how to fix this so I can run my SQL Server script in Power BI. Does anyone have any ideas?
I have an application server (Written in Python [Django]) running on one network and the sql server database on another network (due to security) and I am trying to get the values from that database to my application server. The error I am getting is:
OperationalError: ('08001', 'u'[08001] [Microsoft] [ODBC Driver 13 for SQL
Server] SQL Server Network Interfaces: Error Locating Server/ Instance
Specified [xFFFFFFFF]. (-1) (SQLDriverConnect); [08001] [Microsoft] [ODBC

correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more
information see SQL Server Books Online. (-1)')
Things I have already checked:
I am able to ping from the network where sql server database is to the application server network.
Remote connections is enabled on the sql server database.
Verified Windows firewall is not blocking the connection.
Verified there is a rule in firewall which allows all traffic from the sql server database to application server.
I have checked that the application works fine if I have the database server on the same network as the application server which means there is no error in the logic of the code.
Verified the connection string by logging into the database from the SSMS(On database network).
Verified that the IP allowall had tcp 1433.
After all this steps when I ran network monitor I saw the traffic going from my application server to the database server but there was no response from the database to my application server. Please let me know if I am missing something here. Thanks in Advance.

What was the problem I too don't know but with a restart everything was set and now I am able to connect to SQL.
I have that problem i cannot connect to SQL Server.
I get this error:
Cannot connect to (localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB. A network-related or
instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to
SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify
that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured
to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces,
error: 50 - Local Database Runtime error occurred. Error occurred
during LocalDB instance startup: unable to create the SQL Server
process. ) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1983577844)
I have looked all over the internet, but all of them are solutions that don't work for me, they show something like you just need to connect to your server the right way, and then make a user login.
But how can I do that if I can't get into my server or database.
I can't get any further than this picture
I even tried through Services that some fix it through, or SQL Server Configuration Manager but I don't have any SQL Server Services.
As you can see on this picture
Btw it's saying there is no elements to show.
I have no idea to what I can do now.

I checked Services.msc ---> Here server is running (MSSQL Server)
I started manually so,still it is showing cannot connect to server.
What's the issue? Can anyone help to solve this isssue?
Thanks.
