I have SQL Server 2016 installed on Windows Server 2016 Core. Locally, it seems to be working. I can connect using SQLCMD.exe
and do some basic selects and what not.
From remote, I cannot connect. Using SQLCMD.exe
on a remote machine:
sqlcmd -S boldiq_db3
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Named Pipes
Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53]. .
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Login timeout
expired.
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : A network-related
or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection
to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance
name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote
connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online..
And from SQL Server Management Studio:
In the installation INI I installed from, I have:
TCPENABLED=1
So, I believe TCP is enabled. It might be a Firewall issue, but I've run:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name = SQLPort dir = in protocol = tcp action = allow localport = 1433 remoteip = localsubnet profile = DOMAIN
Which appears to have completed successfully. Are there any other steps to diagnose where the problem is happening? Thanks!
