When i am creating users in SQL management studio i create them under the server name and then i create them under the database but when i try to log on using the user name and password i cant. getting erro saying
> TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to LAPTOP-RED\SQLEXPRESS.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 233)

And the suggested solution from the help link is:
User Action
Use the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tool to allow SQL Server
to accept remote connections. For more information about the SQL
Server Surface Area Configuration Tool, see Surface Area Configuration
for Services and Connections.
Which is what you have to do. By default the SQL Express Server isn't configured to allow remote connections.
hi I faced same issue in MicroSoft sql server 2008.
this error occurs while user limit exceeded, as you have set max connection to 1 and if someone is already logged in (or using any webpage which access your server) then it will not allow anyone to access directly or indirectly. to solve this issue simply follow following steps:
stop all web services.
open services.msc using RUN and ****restart sql server** and do not start any service which uses your sql server, so that you will be able to log in using sql server management studio.
now open sql server management studio and click on New Query button.
It will ask for user name and password use your login name and password.
run these scripts one by one sp_configure 'user connections', 0
go
6.reconfigure with override
after this restart your sql server it will show a confirmation message click on OK.
Bingo
It works. please don't forgot to vote ;-)

I have a sql server hosted on go daddy that I simply am unable to connect to using Visual Web Developer 2010 Express or Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
Cannot connect to RBSAssetTracker.db.2574383.hostedresource.com.
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: 67)
Am I missing something? This seems like it should be relatively simple to accomplish this.
first check whether you can ping the database server then check following
Step 1) Make sure SQL SERVER is up and the instance you try to connect is running.
Step 2) Your system Firewall should not block SQL Server port.
Step 3) Go to Computer Management >> Service and Application >> SQL Server 2005 Configuration >> Network Configuration
Enable TCP/IP protocol. Make sure that SQL SERVER port is by Default 1433.
Step 4) Now follow this KB Article of MSDN depending on your server : http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;914277
open your godaddy account,
click launch under your webhosting menu,
click on SQL server database
click actions-->details and watch for the 'hostname'
it will be like : databasename.db.99999999.hostedresource.com
copy and paste that thing to 'Server name' while logging to your management studio
Enter your godaddy sql-server database username and password to login in management studio. It should work right.
I've created new user in SQL Server Management Studio (SQL Server 2008 Express) in security tab.
Specified the login name, SQL Server authentication, entered a password, assigned server role sysadmin, mapped to my database and there specify it as db_owner. Also in database security is specified in tab Schemas owned by this user is db_owner.
I've checked a lot of tutorials but all of them do the same as me but when I try to login to SQL server (even manually) error message is thrown:
Login failed for 'MyUser' (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456)
Any idea what's wrong?
Thanks a lot.

Failed to login SQL Server after installing SQL Server and creating new login user for SQL Server? You can check error description in Error Log file at first. Look for entry and then confirm what "State" means in entry.
After making sure which lead to this SQL Server login error, take appropriate measures. Generally, you would need to do according to different situations.
You would need to change authentication mode to Mix Authentication or SQL Server Authentication mode.
You would have to enable SQL login user if the login is disabled.
Reset SQL Server user password if the login user password is incorrect.
Configure Windows Firewall to allow SQL Server access if the login is valid but server access is failed.
More details about fixing failed login error for user, you can refer to this article.
http://www.isunshare.com/sql-server/fix-sql-server-failed-login-error.html
I came across the same problem and solved mine by changing the Server to Mixed Authentication Mode. In my case, I was trying to log in with a SQL server login, but the server was only set up to accept Windows Authentication.
See this link for how to change it:

I realise this question is old, but I hope the answer helps someone.
Thanks
I have been trying all kinds of tricks - from enabling TCP/IP, adding exception to firewalls to poking bill gates vodoo doll. But nothing seems to work for me. Is it really that difficult to connect to sql server 2008 via management studio ? Maybe, robbing a bank would be easier.
While i figure out which bank to rob, can you help me to fix the problem ?
When I try to login to sql server 2008, this is the error i get-
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 links i tried so far -
blog.sqlauthority.com/2009/05/21/sql-server-fix-error-provider-named-pipes-provider-error-40-could-not-open-a-connection-to-sql-server-microsoft-sql-server-error/
and some more random links on the net.
When you installed SQLServer, there are several options that may affect the way SQLServer runs and how you have to connect to it. The link you included in your question that points to the sqlauthority blog has an additional thread posted by Vince. Be sure to follow those instructions so that SQLServer will be set to listen on port 1433 and not a dynamic port.
Also, when you log-in, if it tells you that the login fails (e.g., for xxx\yyy), then you probably missed the option in the install to add the current user as an authorized users. In that case, you will have to log in through SSMS using SQL Server Authentication, and provide sa as the username and the password that you set during the install.
After you log in, you can add your Windows user account to the list of authorized users by expanding the root Security folder in the SSMS object explorer, right-click Logins and select New Login. From there you can search for your user account and add a Windows authentication user. That will make it possible for you to log in using Windows Authentication so you won't have to type your password every time you launch SSMS.
Does SQL Server has an external log file or internal table for attempted connections, or is that kind of info put somewhere in the Windows Event Log?
You can enable connection logging. For SQL Server 2008, you can enable Login Auditing. In SQL Server Management Studio, open SQL Server Properties > Security > Login Auditing select "Both failed and successful logins".
Make sure to restart the SQL Server service.
Once you've done that, connection attempts should be logged into SQL's error log. The physical logs location can be determined here.
Another way to check on connection attempts is to look at the server's event log. On my Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise machine I opened the server manager (right-click on Computer and select Manage. Then choose Diagnostics -> Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> Applcation.
You can filter the log to isolate the MSSQLSERVER events.
I found a number that looked like this
Login failed for user 'bogus'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. [CLIENT: 10.12.3.126]
If you'd like to track only failed logins, you can use the SQL Server Audit feature (available in SQL Server 2008 and above). You will need to add the SQL server instance you want to audit, and check the failed login operation to audit.
Note: tracking failed logins via SQL Server Audit has its disadvantages. For example - it doesn't provide the names of client applications used.
If you want to audit a client application name along with each failed login, you can use an Extended Events session.
To get you started, I recommend reading this article: http://www.sqlshack.com/using-extended-events-review-sql-server-failed-logins/
I m creating a new login using sql server authentication.
a new login is created.
when i m tring to login with sql server authentication there is an error
Cannot connect to (SERVER NAME) i.e name\sqlexpress
Additional Information:
"A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error
occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider,
error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) (Microsoft SQL
Server, Error: 223)"
I hv already enabled all the protocols running as administrater. set authentication mode both windows and sql sever authentication
There are a number of reasons this error message appears. Try each of the following to see if it solves the problem:
Restart the SQL Service - sometimes configuration changes require a restart to take effect.
Check that Named Pipes and TCP/IP protocls are enabled from the SQL Server Configuration Manager
Use Surface Area Configuration Manager to ensure that remote connections are allowed if trying to connect from a remote machine.
Ensure your firewall (on the client and the server) is not blocking connections
Ensure the account has a default database defined.
Ensure the account is not disabled - if you have set up the account to enforce password policies then too many failed logins may disabled the account.
Double check that you are using the correct password - even to the extent of reseting it.
Here is the solution of this error which solve this issue i would like to answer here because if anybody find this question than it will also finds its answer and its time not wasted.
Click on Start menu > Programs > Microsoft Sql Server > Configuration Tools
Select Sql Server Surface Area Configuration.
Now click on Surface Area configuration for services and connections
On the left pane of pop up window click on Remote Connections and Select Local and Remote connections radio button.
Select Using both TCP/IP and named pipes radio button.
click on apply and ok.
