Unable to connect to SQL Server 2008

June 4th, 2010 // 11:06 pm @

When you first install SQL Server 2008, you are unable to connect to the SQL Server from another machine in the network. You have enabled remote connections and still whenever you try to connect, you get an access denied error.

Make sure the SQL Server Browser service is running. It is required in order to listen for incoming connections. It may even be Disabled ( as in the case of SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise ).

If you are getting confused about which edition of SharePoint you need, there is a nice handy chart over at Microsoft.

Thanks to my friend Tobias who tweeted about it. A very handy reference when you are trying to match required features with the editions.

    "Amar clearly has a thorough knowledge of Sharepoint, this knowledge, coupled with his professionalism and dedication made him a tremendous asset to the project. He was the key contributor to the later stages of the project delivery effort (the really difficult bit, long hours and hard work that puts huge demands on people), and I can state categorically that without his focussed dedication and hard work we would not have been able to meet the timescales imposed upon the project."
