Hi, Please go through below link, you may get help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4657919/sql-server-does-not-exist-or-access-denied Regards,
That error message means that you were not able to reach the SQL Server you were trying to connect to. It could be that you misspelled the server name, you were misinformed where the server was supposed to be, there is a firewall in the way and the list just goes on. Since you did not supply any context at all, I can only refer you to this general troubleshooter.
Hei. Hva er Azure service prinipal ID,
Anders, i disse forum snakker vi engelsk. Det er inte månge her de forstor dansk.
..................................................................
Anders, in these forum, we use English. There are not very many here that understands Danish.
And beside that, the above question has no relation to your first question. Also, it is not a question about SQL Server but a more general question on Azure, so you should add an Azure tag to your question.
Then again, this is only if you want to enable your SQL Server for Azure Arc. If you have no interest in this, uncheck the checkbox on the top of the page.
Hi, still dont work
still dont work
Hi @Anderas Rønning,
Are you using the default instance? Are the instance listening on port 1433?
If the SQL Server instance is a default instance and listen on port 1433, please ensure an exception is added to TCP port 1433 in the Windows firewall. If the default instance is listening on a non-standard port, Please refer to this article which might help.
If the SQL Server instance is a named instance and listen on dynamic port, please make sure SQL browser service is indeed started and UDP port 1434 is not blocked on the firewall between the client and the server. If you cannot do either of them, you should switch your SQL Server instance to use a static port and add static port to firewall exclusion list.
In addition, please check if there are incorrect alias on the client machine.
Regards，
Zoe Hui
