I have a newly installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. I try to run SQLCMDlocally (please pay attention locally ), but I get an error:
Named
Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2] Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Serving Native Client 10.0: A network-related or specific instance error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server not found or unavailable. Verify that the instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information, see SQL Server
Books Online . Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0: Login timed out.
Why can't I make it work? I've already tried everything.
