While trying to connect to SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition through SQL Server Management Studio 2005 I get the following error:
I put all my effort to solve this problem but there is no solution. On stack overflow in the following post I found this screen shot:
When I see my connect to server dialog box I find the difference like
What is the problem?
This SQL server runs on a single machine, not on a cluster or on a client server.
Go to services (services.msc) and restart the services in the image and then try to connect.
If you have Microsoft Windows 10:
Type Control Panel on Cortana search bar (which is says by default 'Type here to search').
Or click on Windows icon and type Control Panel
Click on Administrative Tools
Then double click on Services
Scroll down and look for: SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS), after that right click
And then in the pop out windows click on Start
Now you should be able to connect to your pc-name\SQLEXPRESS
When you get this error.
Follow these steps then you solve your problem
Open command prompt by pressing (window + r) keys or Click on windows Button and Type Run then type services.msc and click OK or press Enter key.
2.Find SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS).
3.Now see left upper side and click start.
4.If Service show error then right click on SQL Express and then click on Properties.
5.Then click on Logon Tab.
6.Enter Username and Password of Windows Authentication
7.Then Start your Service
8.Problem will be solve and run your query
Use (LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB as the server name
Follow these steps then you solve your problem 100%.
When you get this error then close everything(Microsoft SQL Server Managment):
Then open command prompt by pressing (window + r) keys and type services.msc and click OK or press Enter key.
And search **SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) as I show in the image.
Now see left upper side and click start.
If you open Microsoft SQL Server Management then you not get any type error.
Enjoy!!!
I'm Running Windows 10 and this worked for me:
Open services by searching in the toolbar for Services.
Right click SQL Server (SQLEXPESS)
Go To Properties - Log On
Check Local System Account & Allow service to interact with desktop.
Apply and restart service.
I was then able to connect
Initialize the SQL Server Browser Service.
try using IP instead of pc name. If the ip working, then it might be the name pipe is not enable. If it;s still not working then the login using windows might be disabled.
I had this problem.
So I put like this:
PC-NAME\SQLSERVER
Since the SQLSERVER the instance name that was set at installation.
Authentication: Windows Authentication
Connects !!!
go to services and start the ones related to SQL
My issue occurs when I add a PC to a domain. Restarting the service, making sure it's running, that it has the correct credentials to run, etc, as in other answers doesn't work. I don't know exactly what the problem is, but I can't even log in with the local user anymore to give the domain user access. Here's the steps that work for me:
In SSMS
View > Registered Servers
Database Engine > Local Server Groups > right-click pcname\sqlexpress
Delete > Yes
Right-click Local Server Groups > Tasks > Register Local Servers
It confirms that it re-registered. pcname\sqlexpress reappears.
I'm then able to log in with the local windows auth'd user again, my databases are all there and everything. I then go about my business adding the domain user to Security > Logins.
In my case, I was copying and pasting the server name from appsettings.json as;
DESKTOP-IVQP9DJ\\SQLEXPRESS.
So the problem was that there were two slashes in the server name which was causing the issue for me.
If you are using .net core and copying/pasting server name like me make sure to use only one slash as:
DESKTOP-IVQP9DJ\SQLEXPRESS
If you already did that
Then just restart the service :
start menu
Microsoft SQL Server 20xx
Sql Server 20xx Configuration Manager
SQL Server Service (at left tree)
SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) (at right region)
right click -> restart

I'm trying to start my sql server instance but apparently, the menu options for starting, stopping and restarting the instance are disabled. What I did to learn this was to right click my instance on the Object Explorer and I instantly saw these three was disabled as seen in the image below:
I checked with the SQL Server Configuration Manager regarding the status of the services and it seems their start mode are all set as Automatic. I'm not sure though if I checked the right part but here is what they look like:
I don't know what else to check but any information will be much appreciated.
Have you connected to the Sql Server Management Studio as the user with rights to start/stop/restart the server?
Could you please try to connect as sa-user?
I just got the solution. I did the following:
I stopped the service that I need to use in the Sql Server Configuration Manager
Set the Start Mode of that service to Manual
Started the required service
Logged in to my server in the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Right clicked on the server from the Object Explorer window
After that, the menu items weren't disabled anymore
I am really tired, it's been 3 days that I can't open my SQL Server Management Studio. I got connection string error with number 87. Below screenshot show my problem:
And I use localhost\MSSQLSERVER with error 87 and Arash-PC (my machine name) with error number 2.
And I tried sqlcmd -U sa -S Arash-PC too
You need to check in your SQL Server Configuration Manager what services and instances you have installed. Go to Start Menu > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server (version) > Configuration Tools and launch the appropriate Configuration Manager. You should see a screen something like this:
Find the SQL Server (.....) service(s), and make sure the service is started.
If you find a SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service started, then you have a (unnamed) default instance to which you can connect using
.
(local)
Arash-PC
You MUST NOT supply the MSSQLSERVER as the instance name!
If you find any other SQL Server (instance name) service started (e.g. SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) in my screenshot), then the instance name (SQLEXPRESS) needs to be appended to the server name to connect to that instance:
.\SQLEXPRESS
(local)\SQLEXPRESS
Arash-PC\SQLEXPRESS
Make sure you are not running out of space on the drive where SQL is installed. Try rebooting as well.
Verify that the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service is started. Click Start, click Administrative Tools, click Services, and scroll to SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER). If it is not started, right-click the service, select Properties, in Startup Type select Automatic, click Apply, click Start, and then click OK. Make sure service started. If service did not start - you need to analyze event log. Alternatively - try reinstalling/repairing SQL server.
Make sure you have no network problems - try temporary disabling any firewalls(including Windows Firewall) and antiviruses.
If service is started and firewalls disabled but still no luck - time to check SQL Server Configuration Manager settings. In detail it is described here and here. Shortly I would recommend first enable all protocols in both server and client sections. Reboot. Check it works. If that would not help - then try disabling everything apart from TCP/IP (both server and client sections). Reboot again.
If above does not help - try reinstalling SQL Server. Just make sure you have saved your databases 1st. To save them - stop sql server service, and copy your *.mdf and *.ldf (from SQL server Data folder) files to safe location. Later on you can attach them. If you are not sure where your SQL server Data folder located - just search for files with mdf extension.
Edit:
Successful telnet showing SQL server port is up looks this way:
Edit2:
Launch Event Viewer:
Click System, then Filter Current Log:
Setup filter as shown below:
Then look for SQL-related events:
Usually event text provides information why MSSQLSERVER service fails to start. If the text is unclear please google it for more details.
If your problem was the same as mine (or to anyone else whose attempting to connect to their MS SQL Server w/ a similar connection string), MSSQLSERVER is the default instance name when you set it up, if you don't provide an instance name. I omitted the MSSQLSERVER from the connection string and I was successfully able to connect.
With all respect to "Anton Kruglov" and "marc_s" , Unfortunately, my problem is not resolved . I had to change my windows and reinstall softwares . Now it works properly .
I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 Express.
I first installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Management Studio and then I installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. I have the instance SQLEXPRESS running and it is set to automatic.
I am trying to connect to it locally using Windows authentication - server name is set to local and the username is grayed out and set to my profile username.
When I try to connect I get the following error:
Have I installed the wrong SQL Server Management Studio?
If your instance is called SQLEXPRESS, then you need to use .\SQLEXPRESS or (local)\SQLEXPRESS or yourMachineName\SQLEXPRESS as your server name - if you have a named instance, you need to specify that name of the instance in your server name.
Your "SQL Server Browser" service has to be started too.
Browse to Computer Management > Services.
Find find "SQL Server Browser"
set it to Automatic
and also Manually start it (2)
Hope it helps.
Follow these steps to connect with SQL Server 2008 r2 (windows authentication)
Step 1: Goto Control Panel --> Administrator Tools --> Services
select SQL SERVER (MSSQLSERVER) and double click on it
Step 2:
Click on start Service
Step 3:
Now login to SQL server with Windows authentication
and use user name : (local)
Enjoy ...
I also received this error when the service stopped. Here's another path to start your service...
Search for "Services" in you start menu like so and click on it:
Find the service for the instance you need started and select it
(shown below)
Click start (shown below)
Note: As Kenan stated, if your services Startup Type is not set to Automatic, then you probably want to double click on the service and set it to Automatic.
I know, this problem can be faced by so many people and many of them have uninstalled and re-installed the sql server for resolving this issue.
In my observation the problem of not connecting the database service locally is just because of your network connection you are using, in most of the cases these problems will come when you are using wi-fi network.
Solution is, if you are using wi-fi then just right click on status of the network and get the ip details and enter the same ip in sql server name,
it will work.

I have the same error but with different case. Let me quote the solution from here:
Luckly I also have the same set up on my desktop. I have installed
first default instance and then Sql Express. Everything is fine for
me for several days. Then I tried connecting the way you trying, i.e
with MachineName\MsSqlServer to default instance and I got exctaly the
same error.
So the solution is when you trying to connect to default instance you
don't need to provide instance name.(well this is something puzzled
me, why it is failing when we are giving instance name when it is a
default instance? Is it some bug, don't know)
Just try with - PC-NAME and everything will be fine. PC-NAME is the
MSSQLServer instance.
Edit : Well after reading your question again I realized that you are
not aware of the fact that MSSQLSERVER is the default instance of Sql
Server. And for connecting to default instance (MSSQLSERVER) you
don't need to provide the instance name in connection string. The
"MachineName" is itself means "MachineName\MSSQLSERVER".
Lots of the above helped for me, plus the accepted answer, but since I was on an EC2 instance, I had no idea what my instance name was. Finally, I opened SQLServer Configuration Manager and in the Name column, use whatever is there as your connection server, so in my case, .\EC2SQLEXPRESS and worked great!
Okay so there might be various reasons behind Sql Server Management Studio's(SSMS) above behaviour:
1.It seems that if our SSMS hasn't been opened for quite some while, the OS puts it to sleep.The solution is to manually activate our SQL server as shown below:
Go to Computer Management-->Services and Applications-->Services. As you see that the status of this service is currently blank which means that it has stopped.
Double click the SQL Server option and a wizard box will popup as shown below.Set the startup type to "Automatic" and click on the start button which will start our SQL service.
Now check the status of your SQL Server. It will display as "Running".
Also you need to check that other associated services which are also required by our SQL Server to fully function are also up and running such as SQL Server Browser,SQL Server Agent,etc.
2.The second reason could be due to incorrect credentials entered.So enter in the correct credentials.
3.If you happen to forget your credentials then follow the below steps:
First what you could do is sign in using "Windows Authentication" instead of "SQL Server Authentication".This will work only if you are logged in as administrator.
Second case what if you forget your local server name? No issues simply use "." instead of your server name and it should work.
NOTE: This will only work for local server and not for remote server.To connect to a remote server you need to have an I.P. address of your remote server.
I had this problem. My solution is: change same password of other in windowns. Restart Service (check logon in tab Service SQL).
I can't start the SQL Server browser from SQL Service Configuration Manager 2008 version. There are absolutely no options to start the service. It's disabled as image shown below. How should I start the service again?
If it is disabled, go to Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services, and look for the SQL Server Agent. Right-click, and select Properties From the Startup Type dropdown, change from Disabled to Automatic.
Make sure that you run the SQL Server Configuration Manager snap-in as Administrator if UAC is enabled. Then right click the service and then click properties, change the start mode to enabled, then start it.
My approach was similar to #SoftwareFactor, but different, perhaps because I'm running a different OS, Windows Server 2012. These steps worked for me.
Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Services,
right-click SQL Server Browser > Properties > General tab,
change Startup type to Automatic,
click Apply button,
then click Start button in Service Status area.
Clicking Properties, going to the Service tab and setting Start Mode to Automatic fixed the problem for me. Now the Start item in the context menu is active again.
go to Services, find SQL Server Browser, right click --> Properties --> General tab --> Startup Type --> select automatic . Then go back to configuration management, start it.
I'm trying to setup rf online game to be played offline using MS SQL server 2019 and ended up with the same problem. The SQL Browser service won't start. Almost all answers in this post have been tried but the outcome is disappointing. I've got a weird idea to try start the SQL browser service manually and then change it to automatic after it runs. Luckily it works. So, just simply right click on SQL Server Browser ==> Properties ==>Service==>Start Mode==>Manual. After apply the changes right click on the SQL Server Browser again and start the service. After the service run change the start mode to automatic. Make sure the information provided on log on as: are correct.
right click on SQL Server browser and properties, then Connection tab and chose open session with system account and not this account.
then apply and chose automatic and finally run the server.
run > regedit > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > WOW6432Node > Microsoft > Microsoft SQL Server > 90 > SQL Browser > SsrpListener=0
I have the following error while I connect to SQL Server 2008 Management Studio with Windows authentication.
"The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion.
Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details."
Is anybody tell me why i am getting this error, whereas my SQL Server is running under network service built in a/c????
I googled it but not getting solution..
Thanks
Had the same problem, I fixed it.
Open SQL Server Configuration manager
Click on the SQL Server Services (on the left)
Double-click on the SQL Server Instance that I wanted to start
Select the Built-in account radio button in the Log On tab and choose Local system from the dropdown menu
Click apply at the bottom, then right click the instance and select Start
Above mentioned issue happened in my local system. Check in sql server configuration manager.
Step 1:
SQL server Network configuration
step 2:
Protocols for local server name
Protocol name VIA Disabled or not..
if not disabled , disable and check
.. after I made changes the sql server browser started working
This really works - i had verified lot of sites and finally got the answer.
This may occurs when the master.mdf or the mastlog.ldf gets corrupt . In order to solve the issue goto the following path.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL , there you will find a folder ” Template Data ” , copy the master.mdf and mastlog.ldf and replace it in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA folder .
That's it. Now start the MS SQL service and you are done.
If you are running SQL Server in a local environment and not over a TCP/IP connection. Go to Protocols under SQL Server Configuration Manager, Properties, and disable TCP/IP. Once this is done then the error message will go away when restarting the service.
If you recently changed the password associated with the service account:
Start SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Select SQL Server Services in the left pane.
Right click the service you are trying to start in the right pane and click Properties.
Enter the new Password and Confirm password.
It was very tedious when I get same problem. When I got this problem, I uninstall my SQL Server 2008 but after installing the SQL Server 2008 again,I got the same problem. I was so tensed plus, I had not gotten any help from any site.
To over come this problem. Simply You Need to go on SQL Server Configuration Manager and then click On Protocols on left panel. If you running Network service just disable 'VIA' Protocol.
And after that try to start your SQL service it will run successfully.
After chasing this issue for some hours, we found an log in the SQL Server Agent logs stating the following:
This installation of SQL Server Agent is disabled. The edition of SQL server that installed this service does not support SQL server agent.
We were using SQL Server Express. After some Googling it appears SQL Server Express does not support SQL Server Agent.
I didn't find a direct piece of Microsoft communications stating that SQL Express doesn't support SQL Server Agent, however this sentiment seems to be echoed across many forums.
In my case, the issue was that I was running two other SQL Server instances which were (or at least one of them was) causing a conflict.
The solution was simply to stop the other SQL Server instance and its accompanying SQL Server Agent.
While I'm at it, I'll also recommend making sure Named Pipes is enabled in your server's protocol settings
I had a similar issue. The next solution is in *case to can't launch the server Locally * and you will see the same error msg.(Image 1)
Imagen 1
Imagen 2
To solve that and have the server working you must have the next steps.
Go to SQL Server Services
Right click to open properties
Go to LogOn tab (By default you will see something like Image 3)
Select the radio button Built-in account (Image 4)
Click on Ok
Go back to SQL Server Services and launch again the server (Image 5)
After that you must be able to see run it.

I hope that works for you or others with similar issues. Follow me for more tips.
Just disable the VIA protocol in sql server configuration manager
I found from event logs that My SQL server evaluation has expired.
I needed to upgrade or needed to use community edition.
For me a simple windows update fixed it, I wish I tried it before.
I think this solution is more appropriate, because it does not prevent you from using TCP/IP access.
To open a port in the Windows firewall for TCP access
On the Start menu, click Run, type WF.msc, and then click OK.
In the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security, in the left pane,
right-click Inbound Rules, and then click New Rule in the action pane.
In the Rule Type dialog box, select Port, and then click Next.
In the Protocol and Ports dialog box, select TCP. Select Specific
local ports, and then type the port number of the instance of the
Database Engine, such as 1433 for the default instance. Click Next.
In the Action dialog box, select Allow the connection, and then click
Next.
In the Profile dialog box, select any profiles that describe the
computer connection environment when you want to connect to the
Database Engine, and then click Next.
In the Name dialog box, type a name and description for this rule, and
then click Finish.

I have SQL 2017 installed and this issue happens when the free trial / evaluation period ends, the solution to the problem is the following:
1 - Go to the windows start button, find the Microsoft SQL Server 20XX folder
2- Then, SQL Server 20XX Installation Center
3- On the left, select the option "Maintenance"
4- Then click on “Edition upgrade”
5- Then in the combox select "developer" option, and then click on “next” button
6- Click on the option "I accept the license terms" and then next
7- Finally, click on "Next" and click on "Upgrade", and wait approximately 15 minutes.
8- After this, restart the SQL Server service in "Services.msc" and open SQL again, it should work.

If you are still scrolling through the answers, here is one more step you might have missed.
Open SQL server configuration manager with admin access.
Apply the changes first(to local System) and then try to run.
If you are configuring your SQL Server connection using Computer Management under Administrative Tools or SQL Server Configuration Manager in Enterprise or Corporate environment,
make sure you open your Computer Management or SQL Server Configuration Manager as an Administrator or you have
Administrative Privileges
All answers above didn't work for me, but when I run it as Administrative mode, I can now start my SQL Server Agent or SQL Server service.
For me happened similar issue when I did uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2020 Redistributable and installed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 version
Fixed this issue when re-installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2020 Redistrubutable versions. then services started automatically.
Try changing login from different account:
Open SQL Server Configuration Manager as Admin.
Right click SQL sever and SQL Server Integration Services.
Go to Properties and choose Log on.
Choose Built in account.
Select local service.
Apply and Ok.
Start service again.
This is beacuse your both SQL Servers are using same TCP Port Number i.e. 1433 and only one server could run at this port at a time. You have to change or Remove Port number from below settings;
In SQL Server Configuration Manager Click on SQL Server Network Configration.
Click on required Protocols for SQL...
Double click on TCP/IP then select IP Address tab.
Scroldown to end double click in TCP Port Textbox.
Change Port number from 1433 to other one or remove it.
After save these settings now Start your required server.
Good Luck
