Cannot connect to Database in Server Management Studio

I currently can't connecto to my database in SQL Server 2005 (enterprise) but as soon as I try to use any functions, I get cryptic errors found below.  I am about to pull my hair out.  Everything was working fine for around 4 days and now everything just blows up.  I've tried using both sql authentification and also windows:< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Errors I'm getting (print screens):

Answer this question

Cannot connect to Database in Server Management Studio

  • Rafayel

    restart the server   yea, about 1000 times

  • mc77

    issue resolved, reinstalled SQL Server 2005 completely

     

    thanks for the inputs



  • vbman

    >>>>Please confirm you are connect to the server locally (same box).

    Yes



  • Catherine Sea

    Is this a server in production

    Have you tried to restart the server Seems you configured the maximum number of  user connections to 4, and there are other apps connected to the server. Reconfigure it to allow more connections if there is no specific reason.

    You can try to use osql or sqlcmd see whether you can connect to the server.

    btw, I'm not able to see your errorlog file.

     

     

     



  • Bocman

    Mixed mode.  But of course you can always change to mixed mode after an install anyway if needed in SQL Server Properties.

  • Vales

    please repost your errorlog file.

    When you install you sql server, did you choose Windows Authentication or Mixed Authentication If you choose Windows Authentication, you won't be able to connect via sa account.

    try the following things:

    osql -E -Syourserver

    osql -Usa -Syourserver

    osql -E -Stcp:yourserver

    osql -E -Sadmin:yourserver

    Please confirm you are connect to the server locally (same box).
