SQL SERVER – Fix: Sqllib error: OLEDB Error encountered calling IDBInitialize::Initialize. hr = 0x80004005. SQLSTATE: 08001, Native Error: 17

I fixed a Sqllib error from the OLE DB provider by enabling TCP/IP in SQL Server Configuration Manager. Error received:

SQL SERVER - Fix: Sqllib error: OLEDB Error encountered calling IDBInitialize::Initialize. hr = 0x80004005. SQLSTATE: 08001, Native Error: 17

Sqllib error: OLEDB Error encountered calling IDBInitialize::Initialize. hr = 0x80004005. 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 = 0x80004005. 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.

  • Hi

    I run in the same problem…the BOXI3.1 was working smoothly with all the products with SAP integration installed.

    Yesterday I installed another application called SAP Business One 8.8 and it ruined everything on my machine. When I log on in Designer/WEBI I do not see Enterprise authentication.

    Configuration of my machine: XP SP2.

    Need help…

    Regards
