RE: SQLCMD fails with login timeout expired.

Hello Morris,

I understand tht you could connect to SQL Express properly by 2005
management tool but you cannot connect it via sqlcmd. If I'm off-base,
please let me know.

First I'd like to know the following information before we go further:

1. By using SQL 2005 configuration manager, please check if both TCPIP and
Named Pipes are enabled for SQL Express instance. Also, please make sure
SQLBrowser service is running

2. In Configuration manager, please make sure TCPIP and named pipes
protocals are enabled properly for SQL client.

3. Please check the errorlog for the sql express instance and make sure
TCPIP and Named pipes are enabled. You shall also see the port for

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.x\MSSQL\LOG

4. Try different protocols by using SQLCMD to test

sqlcmd -S np:\\127.0.0.1\pipe\MSSQL$instancename\sql\query
sqlcmd -S tcp:servername\instancename
sqlcmd -S tcp:servername\instancename,portnumber

Note: You may need to change the servername, instancename, portnumber
properly according to your server configurations.

If you have any update, please feel free to let's know. Thank you.

Best Regards,
