Using this command, I get error
C:\WINDOWS>c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0 .50727\aspnet_regsql.exe
-A all -C "Data Source=np:\\VISTA64\pipe\sql\query; Application Name='\';
Initial Catalog=ASPNETMembershipDB; Integrated Security=SSPI;
Password=SQLAgent; User ID=SQLAgent;"

I've verified using PipeList that sql\query is on the VISTA64 machine.
Using SQL Server 2008. on 64 bit vista. trying to hookup client.

I've verified that the ports exist and are enabled on the client (XP sp3)
machine by enabling logging on the the communication on these ports. (on
both Client and Server).

I've created the ASPNETMembershipDB database and SQLAgent has all the rights
in the world. Is there a problem with the string?

Minor jiggering of the string has produced errors 40 , 25, 26 , I just don't
know where to turn next.

TIA.

SQL server is a server itself, it should not need extras to connect that,
can you try a normal connection string.

It is very simple, as it's IP address is not visible, it is not usable.

Hi Gak,

As for the aspnet_regsql.exe, you can simply use the "-S" option to specify
the remote SQL Server instance name(instead of specify the entire
connectionstring). The server instance name is just the normal
"computername\instanceName" syntax. e.g.

"myServer2k3\sql2008Inst"

Here is a walkthrough on using this tool:

Btw, as other members mentioned, you need to make sure the remote SQL
server instance has correctly configured to allow remote connection. You
can also trying connecting the server via SQL management studio if
available on the box.

For configuring 2008 for remote connection, here is an article you can
refer to

Try the GUI first. Then rework it to a command line arguments.
