Hello,
When I deploy a SSRS data source to a development SSRS server and test the Data source the following message is thrown
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)
This is limited to 2 SQL Servers endpoints. When I use different SQL Servers I get connected.
When I try to connect to problem SQL Servers
- Success - SSMS - connects to the destination SQL Servers with Win Auth and a SQL Acct
- Success - VS2015 (dev) - I can connect to the destination SQL Server using the same data source with Win Auth and a SQL Acct and get a result set. Success
- Failure - SSRS 'Test Data Source' fails with message above - 'Failure'
- Success - SSRS Change Data Source to a different SQL Server, connection works
This is a weird one.
Thanks for any assistance - Covi
