Hi all,
I am trying to create a development environment using SQL Server 2014 (not Express). The SQL server instance is on a Windows 8.1 Pro machine in a non-domain environment. I have Visual Studio 2012 installed on the same machine which can connect to the SQL server instance without problems. I have another machine with VS 2012 that cannot connect. SQL server is configured for mixed authentication. The SSDT on the remote machine can see the SQL server networked instance, but will not connect with SQL authentication.
I have rounded up all the usual suspects;
- The SQL server service is running
- Remote connections are enabled on SQL server and the relevant firewall ports are open.
- TCP/IP and named pipes are enabled
- Remote connections are enabled in Management Studio
- SQL Server Browser service in enabled and running
What am I missing? I have been out of developer mode for a few years and all of the tools have changed, but I seem to be missing something obvious.
Many thanks in advance,
Tim
