SQL Server 2008 Error 233

Question

I\'m creating new login in SQL Server 2008 with following sql script:

CREATE LOGIN [xyz] WITH PASSWORD=\'xyz\',
            DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master], DEFAULT_LA         


        

Answer 1

Looks like you're trying to connect using named pipes, but SQL Server is not listening on that protocol. See MSDN.

The two fixes MSDN suggests are:

• Connect using TCP/IP, or use the SQL Server Configuration Manager to enable remote connections using named pipes.
• Using SQL Server Configuration Manager on the client computer, move TCP before named pipes in the protocol order list.
