Hi all
first time poster , so be easy on me
When trying to connect to SQL Server ( all 2008 r2 ) i get the following error messages
This is only a problem on my production servers,,, test servers are fine. ...
Details: "Microsoft SQL: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)"
So
Im running Power BI as an admin
have the correct username/password
Have checked the SQL server is running and all services are good
Have checked to allow ports through on the servers firewall
Have checked to allow incoming connections in SQL
TCP/IP and Named are enabled on config manager
anything else ?
