Hi Anonymous ，

This error means that the client can't find the SQL Server instance. This can happen when at least one of the following problems exists:

  • The name of the computer hosting the SQL Server instance doesn't resolve the correct IP
  • The TCP port number isn't specified correctly

 

To learn more detail solution ,refer:

Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!


Best Regards
