Hi!

Is the “SQL Browser” Service aktive? If not, then start it and try to connect. Does this error occur only if you try to connect via the Server-Name or is it the same if you connect to the Server-IP?

And the “SQL Browser Service” (please check the SQL Server Configuration Manager?

What User Account is used for the “SQL Server Service”? If you run it with a DOmain-Administrator Account, does it work then?
