Hi,
As per security guidelines, we disabled Shared memory & Named Pipes protocols and enabled "TCP/IP" only. Also, we changed the port# from 1433 to 1533 and after that, in management studio, SQL Server Error logs is not openning up and SQL Agent Service doesn't start.
Error while opening SQL Server Error Logs in SSMS:
The description for Event ID 17052 from source MSSQLSERVER cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
Severity: 16 Error:10061, OS: 10061 [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0]TCP Provider: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table
Error while trying to start SQL Agent Service from the configuration manager:
SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: Unable to connect to server '(local)'; SQLServerAgent cannot start).
We changed the Server host in the registry by entering <ServerName>,<Port#>. This resolved SQL Agent Service startup issue. After startup, we tried to run jobs but they all are failing with the below error.
Job runtime Error:
Could not load package "Maintenance Plans\Daily DB Backups" because of error 0xC0014062. Description: The LoadFromSQLServer method has encountered OLE DB error code 0x80004005 (Login timeout expired). The SQL statement that was issued
has failed. Source: Started: 4:40:45 PM Finished: 4:41:00 PM Elapsed: 15.547 seconds. The package could not be loaded. The step failed.
Resolution: If I create an alias name then all problems are solved.
Question: Alias name is the only one solution or is there any other turn around? For some reason, I’m not at all comfortable with alias name. I feel like cheating. :-) .
