cannot create job steps in 2005

I have a feeling this might be a security problem so I posting the question
in the security group as well. Sorry for the double post, I'll paste any
answers over there as well.
Here's the problem;
I'm trying to do some prototyping with SQL 2005 Standard - Full Text Search
in preparation for moving away from SQL 2000. I setup a FTS index and tried
to create a job to rebuild the index nightly. This job build feature is
built right into the
FTS wizard. The job is created but it fails to create the steps and just
says "Failed to connect to server...blah blah blah....Naped Pipes Provider,
Error 40, Could not open connection"
At first I thought it was something with FTS not configured right but then I
just tried to create simple maintenance plan job and the same thing
happened. It
couldn't create the job step. The message from that was even more helpful.
It said "Job failed" I'm doing all this from SSMS logged in with SA.
Anyone have any idea why I can't create job steps on a newly installed SQL
2005 using SA?
Thanks in advance

Some of the things to check for:
- Make sure that the 'shared memory' prtocol is enabled on the server and
has order=1
- Make sure that sql server is configured to listen on the shared memory net
lib
You can check the settings using the SQL Server Configuration Manager.

I have everything enabled except VIA. Don't know what that is so I left it
alone.
I think there's something wrong with this FTS product in SQL Server. I'm
logged into SQL as the system adminstrator (sa). I'm also logged onto
windows as a domain admin. It can't be security. it doesn't seem to be a
config problem. I'm stumped

Doesn anyone understand what has changed with permissions in SQL 2005 OR is
this a hard bug and no one (except a few of us) seem to care
Thanks anyone

"install the service pack" as a standard answer to all of your
questions (about as useful as using 42 as the answer). I will try and
run the install of SP2 over the weekend and see if that resolves the
issue. I'll report back here with the results.

Give it a shot but don't hold your breath until it works.

Cannot connect to SQL server over network after SP2

Hello,
I'll try my luck in this group before I re-install the whole thing.
I'm running MS SQL Server 2005 developer edition on the Windows Server
2003 Small Business Edition.
Few days ago I have updated to the SP2 via windows update.
Since then I cannot connect to the SQL server remotely (using
Management Studio).
- If I log remotely to the server box I can connect locally and all
looks fine.
However, from the network it does not work.
- The SQL Server browser is running..
- TCP & Named Pipes are enabled.
- No errors in the Event Viewer
- "Allow remote connections to this server" property is enabled
- Both firewalls (server & client) are off.
- Both authentication types (SQL auth / Windows auth) are not working
Has anyone had similar problem? Any ideas?
Thank you,
Damir Sudarevic
What is the error message you are getting? We just finished installing SP2
on SQL 2005 EE, and no problems at all. Does it contain Login Failed error
log event at all? Or when trying to access the server from remote location
the computer refuses to see the SQL server?

Hi,
No error messages. The Management Studio (from remote clients - more
than one) simply hangs up.
The studio actually sees the server (in browse servers), but
connection can not be established.
If I log in remotely to the server box and start MS over there it
works fine.
Thanks.
|||Hangs up? SO you have to kill the SSMS and then you can use the computer,
only thing I had that is when our network guys mucked up the firewall
settings. Check for port 1433 connection.

Works!
Thank you Mohit, it was (something) about the ports. Changed TCP ports
to Dynamic and everything started working. Not quite sure what is
dynamic vs 1433; but as long as it works...
Thanks again,
Damir
