Hello,
I am getting this when I try to connect to a SQL Server 2008 R2 database.
Database connection server: -1
SQLSTATE = 08S02, SMUX Provider: Physical connect is not usable
On the SQL Server itself, I find the service for the SQL Server instance in stopping status. I need to restart the server to get the service restart properly, but then it goes back into the stopping state and clients start seeing the SQLSTATE = 08S02, Phyiscal connection is unsable.
Any ideas on what could be causing the problem? Where can I troubleshoot more to find out? The event logs do not show any errors.
Paul
