Error received:
Sqllib error: OLEDB Error encountered calling IDBInitialize::Initialize. hr = 0×80004005. SQLSTATE: 08001, Native Error: 17
Error state: 1, Severity: 16
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Error message: [DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied
The simple fix:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 >> Configuration Tools >> SQL Server Configuration Manager >> SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration >> Enable TCP-IP.

I have (Microsoft SQL Server 2005 >> Configuration Tools >> SQL Server Configuration Manager >> SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration >> Enable TCP-IP) already enabled and I’m getting this error:
Sqllib error: OLEDB Error encountered calling IDBInitialize::Initialize. hr = 0×80004005. SQLSTATE: 08001, Native Error: 17
Error state: 1, Severity: 16
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Error message: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Then this error:
An error occurred while attempting to log in to the following server: “HFPDEXCH”.
SQL error number: “0011″.
SQL error message: “[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
I must be missing something.
