Hi!
I was unable to connect to my dev Sql server from my UAT enterprise manager. It came up with the error message as follows: SQL Server does not exist or access denied. ConnectionOpen(Connect()).I did a lot of googling but of no avail, finally I got to this web page http://www.doughughes.net/index.cfm?event=ViewEntry&entryId=91.
Then I downloaded SQLCritUpdWiz_ENU.exe and tried to execute it. I am a System administrator on this machine. However, I am unable to run this, it comes up with a message, Critical Update Unsuccessful.
System Info:My OS is win XP Pro(SP2) and SQL server is 2K SP4.

I have also posted this question on Microsoft Community newsgroup, no replies yet.Can anyone help? Your help will be highly appreciated.

So what's the deal here? Are you connecting locally? I'd imagine you were able to connect to it before if SP4 is installed. "SQL Server does not exist or access denied." is a generic error. I'd think that you are simply unable to see the server. So is it local?
