I've downloaded and installed SQL Server 2014 Express on Windows 10, I've been through this loop at least 3 times now. The installation completes without warnings or errors. I have chosen to use Window authentication. I'm trying to use HeidiSQL to connect to SQL Server. I already have MariaDB installation and am able to connect to that using HeidiSQL.
When I connect to MariaDB I am able to select Databases from the drop down combo, but not for SQL Server. I don't seem to be able to connect with HeidiSQL.
In HeidiSQL, the settings are:
Network type: Microsoft SQL Server (TCP/IP, experimental)
Hostname / IP: 127.0.0.1
Ticked checkbox 'Use Windows authentication'
Port: 1433
I can't select a Database, if I click on the Open button after a while it comes up with:
SQL Error(17): [DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (COnnect()).]SQL does not exist or access denied SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
In order to use HeidiSQL's network type Microsoft SQL Server (TCP/IP), you need to activate TCP/IP protocol in your MSSQL configuration.
Further on, I am unsure if Windows authentication worked for me, as I'm always using the default SA user, which is created while installing SQL Server.
Apart from that, you should be able to connect using <yourmachine>\SQLEXPRESS on port 1433.
Use Microsoft SQL Server (named pipe) as Network type and .\SQLEXPRESS for Hostname / IP
SQL Server Express by default installs as a named instance called SQLEXPRESS - so for your "hostname", try one of these:
.\SQLEXPRESS
(local)\SQLEXPRESS
yourmachine\SQLEXPRESS
your-ip-address\SQLEXPRESS
Those should work.

I have a SQL Server version 12.0 instance installed on a Windows Server 2012R2 (SERVER/SQL), and a SQL Server Express version 11.0 instance installed on a windows 10 workstation (WIN10/SQLEXPRESS). Both are on the same domain. I am logged in as the domain admin and have full rights on both SQL instances.
On my WIN10 machine I am able to create a linked server from (WIN10/SQLEXPRESS) to (SERVER/SQL).
On my SERVER when I attempt to create a linked server from (SERVER/SQL) to (WIN10/SQLEXPRESS) I am told to ensure that the instance will allow for remote connections. I have gone through about 40 hours of troubleshooting this, ensuring that all firewalls, ports, security and agents and browsers are open.
Is there any reason I cannot link a SQL Server Express to another SQL Server, but can the other way around?
I would like to be able to call stored procedures from my main SQL Server but am not able to.
Please note, the purpose for the SQLEXPRESS on the WIN10 machine is due to the vendor requirements for the software I am using. Otherwise I would have the instance on my SERVER.
Almost certianly a network issue.
Using SQL Server Configuration Manager configure SQLEXPRESS to enable TCP/IP and listen on a fixed port, preferably 1433 if no other instance is on the server. Restart the instance.
Create a Windows Firewall rule enable inbound TCP/IP connections to the port.
Test network connectivity to the target port from the other server with powershell, eg:
PS C:\> test-netconnection WIN10 -Port 1433
Test SQL connectivity with SQLCMD or SSMS on the server to the WIN10 box.
Create the linked server.
I have installed MSSQL Express 2012 on Windows Server 2012 R2, I have set up database and logins. Everything works fine while I'm logged in at the server, but once I want to login from another machine I got the message:
"login failed for user sa".
Settings that I have made:
Added permission for port 1433 in Firewall,
Named Pipes,
TCP/IP,
VIA are enabled from Sql Server Configuration Manager.
Also for TCP/IP I have set IPALL - TCP Dynamic Ports (blank) and TCP Port 1433. ( These settings are used on other versions of windows that are working, but cant get it on Windows Server 2012 R2 when I want to connect from another machine ).
Thank you Larnu - I have just checked the instance name and it was another instace, because also on that machine was installed and older version and I was doing settings on that older version using that older Sql Server Configuration Manager.
I've been trying to connect SSMS 2014 with my database for quite a while now but it's still not working.
I hosted my website on versio.nl that uses directadmin. I've added my IP to the access hosts of my database. I forwarded port 3306 on my router and disabled my firewall. I use the correct data to connect to the database but everytime I try to do it I get the message:
Cannot connect to XXX.XX.XXX.XXX
Named Pipes Provider, error: 40
and a MySQL Server error 53
Is there anything I missed here? Maybe in the directadmin console?
Thanks in advance
As per my understanding port no 3306 default used for MySQL And SQL Server has default port 1433 So please check it again:
To Resolve this you can follow below steps:
SQL services should be started
Enable Named Pipes SQL Configuration Manager ==> SQL Server Network Configuration ==> Protocols ==> Named Pipes ==> Right-click ==> Restart
Check "SQL Server Authentication" or "Windows Authentication mode" Optoins
Use correct Server Name.

I dont have much experience with MsSql. I have no problem to connect to database by SQL management studio with SQL Server Authentication Mode on ip 127.0.0.1.
But my program fails to connect. I created file connect.UDL for test connection and got this error
[DBNETLIB][ConnetionOpen (Invalid Instance()).] Invalid connection
Some information may usefull
SQL server is on configured as Mixed Authentication Mode
DIsabled my firewall
Enabled all protocols (Shared Memory, Pipe names, TCP/IP, VIA)
Using 127.0.0.1 and 1433 port for TCP/IP protocol
Allowing remote connection on server
Can provide more information if you need. Thanks
EDIT : I deleted everything and installed SQL SERVER 2008 R2. Everything working now. Thanks all for your effort.
Ensure you have installed SQL Server as a "Default instance" in order to be able to connect with just the IP address or hostname. If it's a "Named instance" installation, you will need to specify the hostname and instance name to connect. (i.e. MY_HOST\MY_INSTANCE)
Check out the SQL Server Configuration Manager, and under SQL Server 2008 Services section, does the installation have the "Names instance" in brackets? - That's your named instance.
I am trying to connect to MS SQL Server hosted on a network. Windows authentication and SQL Server mode is enabled (both). I cannot connect
[DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
[DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).
Can anybody suggest how to provide the server name when there exists a domain and please be explicit with slashes if any.
Assuming your client is on the same network and all of the DNS records are working correctly (try pinging the server to see if it's available).
You could try connecting using the IP address
If you are trying to connect to a named instance use server\instance
Check that you are not being blocked by the Windows Firewall on either your machine or the server (at the very least port 1433 will need to be open for a default SQL instance)
make sure you enabled the following in Configuration Manager :
SQL Server Network Configuration
- Protocols
--- TCP/IP - Enabled
SQL Server Network Configuration (32bit and 64bit)
- TCP/IP - Enabled
- Name Pipes - Enabled
and make sure SQL Server Instance is logged on as a domain account for you to be able to execute network backup.
try opening sql thru SSMS if named instance use IP/name of instance
else just the IP
and log in as "sa"
