Intermittent SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

Hi, I have a web application which is taking a fair bit of traffic.
It involves a registration process, and then a series of questions which
must be answered. The SQL server receives upwards of 1,000,000 queries a
day.
Unfortunately on a small number of these queries (~500 a day), the ASP pages
are returning that the SQL server does not exist or that access if denied.
Having explored the Microsoft Support Site, and exhausted all possible
solutions, without actually reaching a solution - I was wondering - is it
possible that the server is actually just taking so many requests that it
can't be found? Surely this should return a timeout?
The web box is a Windows 2000 IIS installation, and the SQL box is a
separate Windows 2000 / SQL Server 2000 installation.
Anyone got any ideas?
Many thanks.
MattWhat are you using to handle connections -- TCP/IP sockets, named pipes or
both? I would double check your IIS server and SQL server to make sure the
server and client network utilities match up with connection parameters.
Have you tried using Performance Monitor on the SQL server? You will take a
small performance hit, but you can get some more information on what is
happening when the connection fails. You should probably start off
monitoring a few basic SQL counters -- like for reads, writes and
connections.
When a SQL connection can't be made, the SQL server does not exist or access
denied is actually a common error. In my line of support, it usually means
that a network connection (ipc$) between the client and server can't be
made, but I imagine this is not the case for you.

would put a heavier burden on the server.
What is your connection Timeout value?
What is running on the server when the timeouts happen?
Is there any blocking?
How many web servers are connecting to the SQL Server?

intermittent SQL Server does not exist or access denied

Hi,
We seperated out our web server (IIS) from our SQL Server recently. Things
have gone well, except one thing. Intermittently, we get the message "SQL
Server does not exist or access denied" when users try to get to the site.
The two machines are connected via a 1GBps direct connection. We've seen
high usage of that connection at times when this has happened, but not
always. Does anyone have any ideas?
Here's the connection string...
"Provider=SQLOLEDB;User ID=our_db_user;Initial
Catalog=our_db;Network=DBMSSOCN;Address=192.168.0.1,1433;Password=our_passwo
rd"
Thanks in advance.

I think most of those are for cases where you can't EVER connect.
Unfortunately, ours is only intermittant. It seems like the number of

Intermittent error: SQL Server does not exist or access denied

I need some help. I've seen this error has randomly occured for many
people, but I still haven't found a solution that works. We have a new
web application that is load balanced between two new web servers,
which are located in a DMZ. This is the only website running on these
servers. It connects back to a SQL server which is located inside of
the network. The web servers are running Win2003 Server w/SP1, IIS 6.
The SQL Server is running Win2k Server / SQL 2000.
When logging into the site, it connects back to a database located on
the SQL server to retrieve login information. I'd say 90% of the time
it works fine, but other times when attempting login it will pause for
a few seconds and then eventually display the error "SQL Server Does
Not Exist or Access Denied." The stack trace is pointing back to the
database which contains the accounts. I've done quite a bit of
research on this and have already tried a few things. I've verified
that we are connecting via TCP/IP, and named pipes is blocked through
the firewall. I've also made these registry entries related to
connection pooling, which were suggested in the links below:
path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters
type: DWORD
name: TcpTimedWaitDelay
value: 30 (decimal)
type: DWORD
name: MaxUserPort
value: 10000 (decimal)
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Databases/Microsoft_SQL_Server/Q_21589707.html?query=random+error+sql+server+does+not+exist+or+access+denied&clearTAFilter=true#15305052
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=328476
Modifying the registry did not help, as the error still randomly pops
up. When running a netstat -n from the web servers, I do not see a
large amount of connections in the TIME_Wait state. As I said these are
load balanced web servers and we have generated the error after
connecting through each one at random times. There is no real pattern.
It can fail in one attempt, then I will try again a few seconds later
and it logs in just fine with no errors. I'm able to make succesful
test connections through ODBC and telnet from the web servers to the
SQL server. The database it is failing on is shared between other web
apps, but there does not appear to be a very high load when the errors
are occuring. If anyone has any other suggestions besides the ones
I've listed then I would love to hear them. This error seems to be
getting more and more common from the research I've done. If someone
is able to help me resolve this I will give you all the points I
possibly can!!
Please let me know if you need anymore info.To me that sounds like a network issue. I would try the basics,
changing network cables, switches, that sort of stuff.

Intermittent "SQL Server does not exist or access denied."

I've seen this topic posted several times, but it seems my situation is
unique for every other case I've seen.
I have a web site that has been running for over 3 years. Recently, we've
hit a major spike in activity. Now, after a few days (sometimes less), the
site will start returning the following error:
SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Here are my server specs:
WEB SERVER (Shuttle SK41G)
- Windows 2000 Server SP4 (IIS 5.0)
- Athlon XP 2100+
- 1GB RAM
- 80GB SATA HD (7200 RPM)
- All pages in ASP (traditional, not .NET)
- Realtek RTL8139 on-board NIC (*not* 1Gb) - used for external connection
- Zonet Gb PCI NIC - used for crossover connection to DB server
DATABASE SERVER (Dell PowerEdge SC420)
- Windows 2000 Server SP4
- MS SQL Server 2000 SP4
- Pentium 4 2.8 GHz
- 1GB RAM
- 2x 80GB SATA HD (7200 RPM), Raid 1
- Broadcom NetXtreme 5751 Gb on-board NIC
- Zonet Gb PCI NIC - used for crossover connection to web server
The two additional dedicated NICs were installed recently.
Here is a rough cycle of the problem. About a day or two after I installed
the two NICs, I started getting this error. But it wasn't intermittent in
that it would fix itself after a while -- once it started throwing the
error, it would fairly consistently throw it, only allowing a connection on
rare occasions. The only fix was to reboot the server. After rebooting,
everything seems find for a day or two, then it starts back up, another
reboot... repeat.
I have tested for connection issues between the two NICs, and pinging is
always successful. I have even completely ruled that out by disabling the
new NICs, and going back to the original shared connection, and even on that
connection it will start throwing the errors. I have an alias configured
using TCP/IP, but I have tried both using the alias and not using it (having
the IP configured directly in my connection string), and the results are the
same. I have tried using the machine name (which is different than the
alias), same results.
I read about disabling connection pooling causing this, but to my knowledge,
connection pooling is enabled.
I'm at a loss. I don't know why this is happening all of the sudden. I

Hi
You may want to look at other things such as DNS problems, incorrect routing
or firewall problems. Check out the logs for all of these to see if anything
corresponds to the time of your failure.
It is not clear from your post if you reboot the database server or the web
server, if the former then try restarting IIS or rebooting the web server
and see if that also cures it!

A few clarifcations. The database and webserver are connected to each other
directly via crossover cable, so there is no dns/firewall/routing in the
equasion. I have checked event logs on both web and database server, and
cannot see *anything* that would indicate new problems. I only see the
ongoing events that are normally there, such as SMTP routing problems
(nothing new). Also, I should have specified which server I reboot -- it is
the web server that is rebooted.
So I beleive I have ruled out most of the obvious problems. If there's any
other info you need that may help, let me know.
Thanks again.

This is not necessarily a problem with the web server and SQL Server it
could be that access is denied because of authentication problems. Try using
profiler to monitor logon attempts.

Intermittent "SQL Server does not exist or access denied."

I've seen this topic posted several times, but it seems my situation is
unique for every other case I've seen.
I have a web site that has been running for over 3 years. Recently, we've
hit a major spike in activity. Now, after a few days (sometimes less), the
site will start returning the following error:
SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Here are my server specs:
WEB SERVER (Shuttle SK41G)
- Windows 2000 Server SP4 (IIS 5.0)
- Athlon XP 2100+
- 1GB RAM
- 80GB SATA HD (7200 RPM)
- All pages in ASP (traditional, not .NET)
- Realtek RTL8139 on-board NIC (*not* 1Gb) - used for external connection
- Zonet Gb PCI NIC - used for crossover connection to DB server
DATABASE SERVER (Dell PowerEdge SC420)
- Windows 2000 Server SP4
- MS SQL Server 2000 SP4
- Pentium 4 2.8 GHz
- 1GB RAM
- 2x 80GB SATA HD (7200 RPM), Raid 1
- Broadcom NetXtreme 5751 Gb on-board NIC
- Zonet Gb PCI NIC - used for crossover connection to web server
The two additional dedicated NICs were installed recently.
Here is a rough cycle of the problem. About a day or two after I installed
the two NICs, I started getting this error. But it wasn't intermittent in
that it would fix itself after a while -- once it started throwing the
error, it would fairly consistently throw it, only allowing a connection on
rare occasions. The only fix was to reboot the server. After rebooting,
everything seems find for a day or two, then it starts back up, another
reboot... repeat.
I have tested for connection issues between the two NICs, and pinging is
always successful. I have even completely ruled that out by disabling the
new NICs, and going back to the original shared connection, and even on that
connection it will start throwing the errors. I have an alias configured
using TCP/IP, but I have tried both using the alias and not using it (having
the IP configured directly in my connection string), and the results are the
same. I have tried using the machine name (which is different than the
alias), same results.
I read about disabling connection pooling causing this, but to my knowledge,
connection pooling is enabled.
I'm at a loss. I don't know why this is happening all of the sudden. I
thought it may be related to the new NICs, but after disabling them and
still getting the problems, that doesn't seem to be the case.
Please, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

This is not necessarily a problem with the web server and SQL Server it
could be that access is denied because of authentication problems. Try using
profiler to monitor logon attempts.

interesting case for "SQL Server does not exist or access denied." error

My connection string is :

server=localhost;Database=INFOSEC;Integrated Security=true

It works for the login page, but it does not work for the registration page, and give the "SQL Server does not exist or access denied." error.

Any IDEA?

You shouls check your connection string properly and make sure you are calling proper database for registration form.Otherwise can you give the code here.So i can findout the error.

Integration Server access denied

Hello,
I am trying to enable one of our employees to access Integration
Server remotely, however I am received an "access denied" error. I
have set this up on two other machines; one of those is used by an
admin, and it works. The other is used by a user, and it also works.
The employee I receiving the error is an admin on the network. I tried
searching the web, and found steps to add permissions for users in
dcom components settings, but after following these steps, the
situation remains.
Did anyone experience access problems even with admin rights?
Thank you,
KrzysztofHello,
I am not sure what you mean by "admin on the network" but one of the choices
is to add the user as a local Administrator.
You can also try the section 'Eliminating the 'Acess is Denied' Error'

Hi Ben,
The user is already an administrator on the local computer, and on the
