INF: Registering SQL Server Wizard Gives a Misleading Error Message

Q268877


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server versions 6.5, 7.0
Microsoft SQL Server 2000

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY
When you try to register a SQL Server in Enterprise Manager with no SQL Servers currently registered on that computer, you may see the following error message:

General Network error. Check your network documentation.



MORE INFORMATION
This error is misleading because it has nothing to do with network issues. The message would be more appropriate if it stated:

"No SQL Server installed."

-or-

"Client unable to establish connection."

This is by design because Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is only returning a general network error to SQL Server, and SQL Server interprets it as such.
