Hi @_augustine_

 

You seem to be experiencing a connection problem. This error message indicates that there was a problem establishing a connection to SQL Server, specifically mentioning a network-related error or an instance-specific error.

 

There are several possible reasons for getting these error messages. You can try the following steps to resolve the problem:

 

1.Check that you can ping the SQL Server box

 

2.Check that the SQL Services are running

 

3.Check that the SQL Server Browser service is running

 

4.Check that you are using the correct SQL Server instance name

 

5.Check that you can find the SQL Server

 

6.Check that TCP/IP and Named Pipes are enabled

 

7.Check that allow remote connections for this server is enabled

 

8.Check the port number that SQL Server is using

 

9.Check that the firewall is not blocking access to SQL Server


10.Check that the Service Principal Name has been registered
