I'm having trouble installing sql server 2014 - sql-server

This is what happens when I try to use sql server (img 1) Error
I tried googling the solution and still can't figure out what's wrong. I've tried reinstalling multiple times and even wiped my hard drive to reinstall it. It does not let me install without windows authentication.
Empty services
There is nothing inside of the services and network configuration. Does know how to fix it by using windows authentication? It doesn't matter what I enter in the user name it always gives me the same error.

Run services.msc
Start all services for SQL server including SQLEXPRESS it will work
Hope this helps.

ConnectionToTheDatabaseFailed after Upgrade to dnn 9.3.2

DNN Upgrade error from 9.1 to 9.3.2 : After upgrade we observe that if we reboot server and immediately try to access the web site then we get error like 'Connection To The Database Failed'.This is happen only first time after server reboot. once we start receiving this error after then we continue receive this error irrespective of how many times we hit website. It is exists till we do IIS Restart or Application pool recyle manually.
Because of this issue we have paused server reboot schedule as well.
Please guide how to overcome from this.
Just a guess, but is it possible that SQL Server starts up slowly after the reboot.
Try waiting 5 minutes before going to the website.
I'm actually a bit surprised that you have this on a DNN 9 installation. I haven't seen it myself as of DNN 8.
I recall solving that by changing the startup type for IIS (in the services MMC) from "Automatic" to "Automatic (Delayed)". That should give SQL Server a decent chance to be started before IIS is.
You could also try to configure the IIS service being dependent on SQL Server (if both IIS and SQL Server are installed on the same machine):
sc config W3SVC depend=MSSQLSERVER
Take care, if you are using a named instance as in the SQL Server Express standard installation, the name could be MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS or whatever instead of MSSQLSERVER. Have a look at the properties of the service to find out.

I cannot find SQL Server browser

I have installed SQL SERVER 17.
I'm trying to connect to a remote Database and I was not able to do so. After research, I found out that it requires the SQL Server Browser service to be started but I couldn't find the service in the SQL Server Configuration Manager
I also tried searching for missing SQL Browser Service. So, I tried reinstalling the SSMS but I couldn't find any option to select for SQL Browser.
Also, I don't have the sqlbrowser.exe file at location 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\'. So, I guess it wasn't installed from the start.
Any solution, on how to install the service?
EDIT 1 :
This is the error message on the SSMS:
I have verified and made sure that the username and password is correct.
EDIT 2 :
I tried to turn of my firewall and then connect with the server. But, I still got the same error.
So, I tried to reinstall the complete SQL SERVER. During the installation, I selected the custom mode and selected the SQL Server Browser to be automatic. So, now I have it working.
Now, still having my firewall disabled, I tried connecting to the SERVER, but still I got the same error.
Now the question is why am I getting this error?
Final EDIT :
Sorry for all the trouble but I have posted the answer to the problem, Thanks.
You do not need to install SQL browser to simply connect to a remote database, it allows you to see SQL server instances on your machine.
In management studio, adding the hostname and credentials in the connection dialog box is enough and if they are correct, and you have access, it will connect.
really sorry for the trouble.
And the problem was a slash ( \ ).
I spent couple of hours trying to figure out what's wrong with the connection and all that time I used SERVER / INSTANCENAME and everything else was perfect... and suddenly when I was searching online someone had made a same mistake and I looked at my hostname and it was wrong.
It should be SERVER \ INSTANCENAME with a backslash ( \ ).

SSRS "There was no endpoint listening at net.pipe" error

I recently installed Visual Studio 2017 on my computer and am having issues with SSRS. I previously had 2016, which worked fine, but I had to reinstall the OS on my system and only found 2017 to download. When I try to preview a report on SSRS locally I get the error:
"There was no endpoint listening at net.pipe://localhost/PreviewProcessingService9512/ReportProcessing
that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action."
I've read other people suggesting to right click the .rdl and click run, but if I do that I get a reporting services error "The item cannot be found." I've also read that the Net.Pipe Listener Adapter needs to be restarted, but this isn't even installed on my machine and I don't see where to install it. I've experimented and found that if I create a new user in SQL Server and grant it administrator privileges then the report preview will work for a short time, maybe 15-60 minutes, before going back to the "endpoint" error. I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling both SQL Server and Visual Studio, but I get the same problems.
I'm completely stuck here. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Apparently it was a permissions issue. Even though I was logged in as an administrator I need to run Visual Studio under the "run as administrator" mode. This doesn't make sense as I'm logged in as an admin, but at least it works.

error while install sql server 2014,attempted to perform an unauthorized operation?

When I want to install sql 2014 in windows server 2012 the following error :
Error : Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
How to resolve it?
I too got the same error while installing sql 2014, i solved it by moving sql 2014 setup to C drive then run as administrator
It's work for me.
SQL Server 2008 R2
I had attempted to perform an unauthorized for this part of installation in windows 8.1 64bit:
SSISConfigAction_repair_postmsi_Cpu64
Changing installation drive for another drive to C: , solve my problem. Also, I read on another topic, don't close installation panel, because there is a bug while installing SQL Server.
Summary:
don't change installation Drive
don't close installation panel
make sure your source file is fine
run Setup as the administrator
Enjoy
1) So the methodology I used to figure out what was wrong with my system was to use Process Monitor.
I set the filter to listen for processes that contain "Scenario" and processes that contain "SQL".
2) I clicked Retry, and saw an ACCESS_DENIED for HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellEngine.
3) Checked permissions, and ensured that Users have read. Permissions had been set to deny on them.
Additionally, I have McAfee HIPs running on the server, so I also had an error where HIPs wouldn't allow editing of permissions to the Event Log registry.
So, had to have HIPs disabled temporarily, as well.

How can I connect to SQL Server using (local)\INSTANCE_NAME?

I have a developer that is having trouble connecting to a SQL Server instance by entering the server name (local)\HIS_SERVER_INSTANCE into Visual Studio->Server Explorer. If he replaces (local) with his machine name, it connects fine. I have had similar issues before but they seemed to fix themselves. Does anyone know a fix for this?
EDIT:
We cannot use the machine name because our app contains connection strings with (local) in them.
Also, I've noticed something weird about his SQL Server install. Everyone else seems to get the SQL Server Service Manager showing in the lower right corner. I looked for this app in his startup folder and nothing was there. I then looked for the app on the system (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\sqlmangr.exe) and it doesn't exist. Maybe his system has bigger issues??
You can use .\HIS_SERVER_INSTANCE to get the same effect as using (local).
