I am getting the following error:
Open
OLE error code:80004005 in Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
HRESULT error code:0×80020009
Exception occurred.
I have tried following the directions here with no luck.
Any ideas?
FIXED
My specific issue I believe was related to having to many mixed systems installed on my laptop. I had Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 components and SQL Server Management Standard loaded with SQL Server Express Edition as well as various other components that might have affected the stability of my environment. Once I reloaded Vista and went back through the steps from the link above it worked without issue.
I only loaded the Express Editions of SQL Server and SQL Server Management Studio.
Usually a authentication/permissions error.
Is the SQL Server on the same box as the web server, review the accounts they are running under, and review the type of connection you are making (integrated or otherwise)?
Random guess: By default SQL Server (express, at least anyway) does NOT enable network access. The SQL Admin manager tools connect to it using named pipes, however rails most likely will be trying to use TCP.

I have installed SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express 32 bit. I have installed it successfully but when I try connect with SQL Server I am getting an error
Then I thought to turn the services ON from SQL Server Configuration Manager but I am not able to see any
Also my SQL Server Configuration Manager shows some corrupt as below:
Download and install SQL Server database engine. Here is the link https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads
Express edition will be good.
Although this question was posted two years ago, most of the new developers face this problem. I had the same issue and I hope this will help other developers as well.
I'm trying to connect to Analysis Services in SQL Server 2014 on server (local), but appears this error:
Cannot connect to (local). Additional Information: A Connection cannot
be made. Ensure that the server is running.
(Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient) A connection cannot be made
because the destination computer had refused.
Please help me solving this.
I am using Developer edition.
In my case, MS Analysis Services was not installed and that's why it was giving error. I ran the setup.exe to launch the installation wizard to add Analysis Services feature in my MS Sql Server and then it got resolved.
Since, I am using everything on one machine which is Windows Server 2012, I didn't require to make any change in firewall setting.
I have a Vb.Net Windows Forms application, which has a certain feature that enables the user to take backup of database from the front-end of the application. In the back-end, the SMO (SQL Server Management Object) has been used. The development PC of this application has Microsoft SQL Server 2005 installed, but my PC doesn't have SQL Server 2005, rather it has both SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012.
Whenever I try to run the application from my PC, I get the following error message:
I tried to search for a solution in the internet, but was unable to find a specific one. Most solutions are related to the problem of 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo' or 'Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo', but as shown in the screenshot, the problem is related to 'Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum'.
So what is the actual reason behind this problem, and what is the exact solution? Is this problem related to the SQL Server version as I suspect?
I dont know much about sql server.
I have just re-installed windows 7 on my laptop. After that I installed Visual Studio 2012 Express Edition. I also Installed SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2.
Now when I try to log in to sql server management studio by using server name as . or (local) or .\SQLEXPRESS or PC-Name\SQLEXPRESS and using Windows Authentication I get the error as below.
Please dont mark this question as negative as I have searched on google for last 4 hours but did not understand the problem.
Update:
There are many reasons that may cautioning the problem:
SQL Server is not running
SQL Server is not properly configured
You try to connect with a worng instance Name
You can try the following:
Go to Mycomputer->Rigt Click->Manage->Application and Services
And from there check that SQL Server Express is running
2.From there also, gCheck the Instance name of your SQL Express and be sure when you log on to Management Studio you Provide the same Instance name
Confirm that the service is installed and running. Under Computer Management, drill-down into Services and Applications -> Services.
There should be a service named "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)". Try a restart or start of the service.
If any other instance of SQL Server is installed it will be listed - try connecting to LOCALHOST(whatever the instance is listed as) to verify the installation is functional.
UPDATED following further information from comments:
You may have only installed the client tools (management studio), and have not installed the database service. Ensure you have the correct installer which includes the database services engine.
First check that the SQL Server parameters are set accordingly.
Go to Start -
All Programs — Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 — Configuration tools —
SQL Server Configuration Manager
Under SQL Server Services, make sure that the instance is running :
SQL Server ()
SQL Server Browser
Under SQL Server Network Configuration - Protocols for (), these are enabled:
TCP/IP
Named Pipes
Do the same under SQL Native Client 10.0 under Client Protocols
I am trying to connect to a SQL Server Express instance on my laptop; I have SQL Server 2008 installed in my system, but when I try to put the instance (local)/SQLEXPRESS or Jashobanta-PC/SQLEXPRESS in my system, I am not able to connect to it. It is appearing that it is not even present in my system.
I am getting the following error :-
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..
I have tried using the SQLCMD command tool also for this, but the result is same:-
sqlcmd -E -S .\SQLEXPRESS
Here also the same error is appearing.
Is there any chance that SQLEXPRESS is not installed in my system? But as MVC Code First uses SQL Server Express, I need it. When I use code first, then the files are created fine, but how it is connecting, where it is creating the database, it is not known.
Any suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks in advance

I had a similar issue to this, so for google purposes I'll list my result.
My take on the problem was that I had a SQL2008 Express instance, that had 'gone dark' because I'd installed a full instance of SQL2008R2 and/or SQL Express 2012. My guess is that one or the other of these turns off the out-of-date express instance as a security risk.
These instances were installed as fresh instance names, but somewhere along the way my (local)\SQLEXPRESS instance was disabled.
Using this link I used the SQL2008R2 installer to upgrade the SQLEXPRESS instance that the installer detected.
Once the SQLEXPRESS instance was upgraded to 2008R2 it was happily re-enabled and accessible at (local)\SQLEXPRESS, with all my previous databases inside it.
I have a same problem just now. What you need to do to resolve the problem is to install SQL Server 2008 Express edition.
You can do this by searching "SQL Express" from Web Platform Installer and install "SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Series" and "SQL Server 2008 Express with Tools".
Or
Download from this url and install.

.\SQLEXPRESS is SQL Express for SQL Server 2008 while
(LocalDB)\v11.0 is SQL Express for SQL Server 2012 / 14
