I just installed MS SQL SERVER MANAGEMENT STUDIO 2014 , but when I open it I have to add a server name to connect it but it is showing me following error when I enter server name.
TITLE: Connect to Server
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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2) The system cannot find the file specified
I don't know what to do now, help me out please.
Thanks

Here's mine, if it helps. See if you should have more to it, like SQLEXPRESSPC in my case.
You need to provide an instance name.
Instance Name has been provided during the installation process of SQL Server.
Inside the Server name combobox, you should type something like : .\SQLEXPRESS or .\MSSQLEXPRESS depending on your version of SQLServer.
The .\ refer to your local machine.

I just installed SQL Server Management Studio and it auto creates a server with your PC name to connect to, but it doesn't connect - all I get is this error. I tried reinstalling and also there's no server with that name in the services to start
TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to DESKTOP-7UA72F9.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible.

(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)
It looks like you've installed Management studio only. Server doesn't come with it. Could you provide additional info on what steps you went through exactly? What install files did you use?
If you're looking to play with MS SQL Server, there is an Express version, it's free.
Error message is like this:
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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 51 - An instance name was not specified while connecting to a Local Database Runtime. Specify an instance name in the format (localdb)\instance_name.)
And my scenario: IIS and SQL Server 2008 are on the same test workstation, whose firewall is not enabled at all. I don't see any SQL Server log so I can't find any other useful information than the error message above.
I installed SQL Server as default instance (MSSQLSERVER)
My connection string is like this (I am using SQL Server account for authentication):
Server=(localdb); Database=MY_DB_NAME; User ID=MY_USER_ID; Password=MY_PASSWORD
I already verified this user has access to the target database (as owner)
I have gone through some articles on how to track down this problem: I set "allow remote connection" even though IIS and SQL Server are on the same machine. I don't need to set-up firewall.
If you have a standard, unnamed instance, you should use . or (local) (but not (localdb) !) as your server name
Try to use this connection string:
Server=(local); Database=MY_DB_NAME; User ID=MY_USER_ID; Password=MY_PASSWORD
I just installed sql server 2008 . When I tried to connect it . It was showing this message :

I visited the link but I didn't find any solution .
I think something went wrong when you install it because my configuration manager show like this check snapshot here http://prntscr.com/6fdvog
I'm connected to analysis server:localhost\sqlr2.
I'm using windows authentication,so user name and password are all grayed out.
I'm trying to deploy a project from Visual Studio BI to SQL Server 2008R2 analysis server and get the following errors:
Error 1 Internal error: The operation terminated unsuccessfully. 0 0
Error 2 OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: Login timeout expired; HYT00; A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.

Error 3 Errors in the high-level relational engine. A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID of 'Max Min Manufacturing DM', Name of 'Max Min Manufacturing DM'. 0 0
It looks like your datasource is set up wrong. When you process, what server is the cube pointed at? What account does SSAS run under? How have you set up the connection string in the datasource? Are you seeing failed login attempts in the SQL Server logs?
Error 2 OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: Login timeout expired; HYT00;
A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a
connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible.
Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured
to allow remote connections.
I'd focus on this. I assume you must be able to connect to SQL Server in Visual Studio to build your cube, so I guess Analysis Services doesn't have permissions. Check your connection strings.
You say you're using Windows Authentication, so does the service accounts that Analysis Services runs under have access to the required database?
I would like to share my experience with this error and how I discovered the solution.
Hope it helps!

---Thanks #kleopatra for the advice.
In my case I was connecting with a wrong provider, I was trying to connect using SQL Server Native Client 11.0 to MS SQL Server 2005 DB which caused my similar problem.
When I reverted to version 10.0, worked perfectly!
I have an application which connects to SQL Server 2008 via windows service.Basically,windows service pics up a configuration file to get connection details like instance name , user name & password.Currently this windows service is failing to start with following error message :-
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)
Application server and DB server are different machines.I can connect to SQL Server via SSMS from application server without any issue. Also I created a UDL on app server and it also connected fine to DB server. Any help here is much appreciated.
Check the account under witch windows service is running- most possible that account is not allowed to make connections to other computers.
